Driving Ambition

(Fox News) - We have told you lately about now-abandoned efforts by New York's governor to get driver's licenses for illegal aliens — and in fact eight states already have similar programs.

But The Arizona Republic reports that in the country supplying the most immigrants to the U.S. — Mexico — there is absolutely no question — if you are not in the county legally — you cannot get a license. All 31 Mexican states — and Mexico City — require federal voter registration cards, residency papers — or at the very least — valid tourist visas.

Yet the Mexican government has been highly critical of U.S. efforts to keep licenses out of the hands of illegals here. Says New York Republican Congressman Peter King — "the fact that all 31 states in Mexico would have such a common sense position... shows to me a certain hypocrisy on the part of the Mexican government."
