If you are involved in an accident in Denver, weather in a car or as a pedestrian, there's a 20% chance the other fellow will leave the scene, without stopping if his car still works. In a lot of cases, it transpires that the runner is here illegally, has no license or insurance and doesn't want to be deported although so far none have been.
In an effort to reduce the hit and runs, Colorado will now offer drivers licenses to illegal aliens. The thinking goes that when Pedro or Mohammed, as the case may be, runs over or into someone, his ability to produce a drivers license will dissuade him from fleeing the scene. He will, of course be issued a ticket and a summons to court, which I hold out little hope of him honoring since no real I.D. seems to be required to get the license in the first place. Pedro becomes Miguel and Mohammed becomes Muhamed and the miscreant disappears into the paper shredder.
It is also stated that the new license will not be useable as I.D. to board a plane or to vote. Since no I.D. is currently needed to vote here anyway, this won't cut into the Dems base noticeably.
OTOH, this sets up a defacto registration of illegals in Colorado as the DMV will have a complete record of everyone who got such a license with their address and photo so on the off chance that being an illegal ever becomes illegal, we would have a good start on picking them up.
Don't tell anyone this. It will depress the demand for the licenses.
