While the NC-DMV does not issue driver’s licenses (DL’s) to illegal immigrants, it does give DL’s to anyone with a DL from another state. Therefore, NC assumes the issuing state, say Virginia, did its due diligence to verify the citizenship of the individual applying for an NC DL. Convenient when you or I go to the DMV after we move from one state to another, but it is disastrous because of the snowball effect of illegal “residency.”
Scenario: An illegal immigrant can simply go to Virginia and apply for a DL with a utility bill. The utility companies do not ask for citizenship when beginning services. The illegal can then move to NC and apply for an NC-DL with a NC utility bill. The NC-DMV will give the applicant a DL test in Spanish. If the applicant passes the test, then they are issued an NC-DL, regardless of the fact they cannot read English, which happens to be the language our signs are printed in. (I don’t have to remind you about all illegals involved in the wrong-way, drunk driving deaths in Charlotte.) With that NC-DL, the illegal can then register to vote, get a library card, register a car and get auto insurance. All key elements of establishing “legal” residency, even though they broke all of our immigration laws to get here.
Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO) has written a book titled "In Mortal Danger" where he discusses this in further detail.

With or without a DL, their children can enroll and attend public school and receive special ESL instruction and free-lunches.
With or without a DL, children receive health care services, and adults receive any emergency medical treatment. We offer free medical services even if their injuries are directly related to intentional actions in illegally entering our country.
No law enforcement officer (except BICE) can ask about residency status. Local police cannot ask a man who commits an armed robbery, rape, murder, or drug dealing about their residency status and have a very difficult time positively identifying illegals in our criminal justice systems. If we cannot accurately identify people who are in our country, then this doesn’t enhance national security. They should not be allow to remain in our country, they should be deported.
In higher education, some states offer in-state tuition rates to illegals. But legal foreign students and out-of-state students will pay dearly for the opportunity to be educated in certain universities in America.
(I have been told there is legislation on the Senate’s slate called DREAM Act sponsored by Orin Hatch (R-UT). In the past it was never able to pass, so recently it has been hidden in the “comprehensive” immigration bill.)

Illegals registering to vote by the Democrats can impact our American elections. It has been alleged by many candidates around the country that at Voter Registration Drives there are many “irregularities” in the registration process that differs from county BOE processes. This could explain why so many candidates pander to the Latino voters. They hope to gain the support of anyone who registered. Remember the City Counselwoman who told a group of Latino’s before the 2006 election that they didn’t even need to be a citizen to help.
