Report: Push to Give Driver's Licenses to Illegals in U.S., But in Mexico It's a Different Story

What are we thinking in this country?

The Mexican officials don't worry about the nonsense that so many do in the U.S. They simply say "no."

FOX has the story here.

Hillary Clinton might be on one side of the border, then the other when it comes to issuing driver's licenses to illegal immigrants, but Mexican officials know exactly where they stand: no licenses for illegals.

All of Mexico's 31 states require foreign residents to hold a valid visa if they want a Mexican license, according to a survey published Thursday in The Arizona Republic.

"When it comes to foreigners, we're a little more strict here," Alejandro Ruíz, director of education at the Mexican Automobile Association, told the newspaper.

They're more strict, but then whine and moan at U.S. officials for enforcing our laws. Quite hypocritical.

Immigrant drivers became an overnight national campaign issue when Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton responded to a debate question by declared her support for a move by New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer to issue licenses to illegal immigrants.

"It makes a lot of sense," Clinton said during the Oct. 30 debate.

She backed away from that support Wednesday when Spitzer announced he was backing off the plan.

Eight U.S. states allow drivers to get licenses without proving they are legal residents, the newspaper reported.

Mexicans account for more than half of the 12 million undocumented residents, according to the Pew Hispanic Center.

Despite all of Mexico's problems, they've got this issue right: don't give licenses to illegals. Mitt gets it, but so many don't.

I don't know how Hillary can avoid the flip-flop button here. She's going to be hounded on this issue. As the topic grows, Rudy's "sanctuary" past will haunt him, too.
