Oregon DMV will now electronically verify the Social Security number for drivers license

KMTR-

The Oregon transportation commission adopted new rules regulating the issuance of drivers license that will go into effect within the next couple months.

Applicants who apply for a driver's license will now have to show proof of residence in addition to a Social Security number.

Oregonians who do not have a Social Security number may still apply for driving privileges or an identification card however, they must sign a statement that they have never been issued a Social Security number and have at least one document listed in the DMV approved list of identification.

These new rules have raised concern within the this been a community.

I think that last line is very interesting. Every time we try to strengthen the laws or to more accurately put it, patch together the laws that are on the books which are not enforced, illegitimate citizens are usually among the first to to raise their voices in opposition.

In my opinion, this has the same effect as a burglar complaining that their victim just made it harder to break into their home.

Besides the fact that everybody is supposed to be under the same laws, illegal aliens would have nothing to complain about if they would have followed the rules in the first place by coming into this country through the front door and therefore none of these issues would actually be necessary.

at least our SSN's are good for something because they sure won't get us retirement.

I saw in the news a few months ago that a women was put in prison for killing the man that was raping her. I think our laws need to be adjusted or the judges that interpret them.

Oklahoma has one of the toughest laws concerning illegals. Last week a 2 month old died because his parents were too afraid to take him to the Dr. or hospital. Instead of taking responsibility for letting the child die, they are blaming the tough law. I'm sorry, but if my child was ill, I would take them to the Dr. NO MATTER WHAT! Once again the children of the illegals are made to suffer. Whose fault do you think it is?

I agree.
The parents CHOSE to be here and they KNEW the risks before they crossed the border.

AS i have been saying for a long time, it is the children that suffer for their parents actions.
