Huckabee on Driver's Licenses for Illegal Immigrants
November 29, 2007
Governor Huckabee opposes giving driver's licenses to illegals and supports legislation to prevent states from doing so. However, several opposition blogs are attempting to make this claim by misrepresenting a proposed textual addition to the licensing requirements by the AR House of Representatives. The purpose of Act 1812 of 2001 was to clarify what documents were required to obtain a license. The Act would not have allow ed immigrants here illegally to obtain a license. Act 1812 would have denied an initial application or renewal for an Arkansas driver license to anyone who could not provide two of the following documents: U. S. birth certificate; U. S. Visa; Social Security Card; photo document from INS; military or military dependent photograph identification; U. S. Passport; Naturalization Certificate; or any other document prescribed by the Department of Finance and Administration. The amendment also required that this list of documents be posted in each revenue office in the state. Because this amendment did not pass the House, Act 1812 did not amend Arkansas Code and http://www.arkleg.state.ar.us/ftproot/acts/2001/htm/act744.pdf. Currently, the list of documents is not outlined in the state code on Licensing Requirements, nor is there a requirement for the documents to be posted in state revenue offices.
