Nothing wrong with this law. There´s a new liberal movement to push policies that before you get a driver´s license you have to attend a seminar on organ donations.That´s a lot worse to me than this law.

There´s another firestorm brewing in SC that would restrict food stamp recipients from buying "unhealthy" foods.This will get them riled up.Sounds like something Bloomberg would do but he wouldn´t want to alienate his base.

There is no discrimination here. The fact is they have "No lawful status".

In Michigan, the requirements and process for obtaining a driver´s license can take a year for legal citizens. Rather than a pink striped license, I´d prefer a pink uniform from Sheriff Arpaio.

What is wrong with this?

OK, instead, we just won´t issue any license at all.

Excellent idea from North Carolina. This should be a national requirement. ´No Lawful Status´, I like the sound of that. It should be quoted more often in other areas when referring to illegal migrants.

Criminal Parasite would be more accurate.

If it hurts their feelings they should leave this country and go home

Good idea to me - a current North Carolinian.

This is fine as a temporary measure. But it accomplishes nothing except getting a few licensing dollars into the NC treasury because if someone is willing to illegally breach any country´s borders, I suspect they´d have no problem illegally operating a motor vehicle. I´d rather see a Berlin-type wall on our southern border with one door where those who want to seek legal status can be welcomed through. Oh, and like Berlin, MEXICO should put the wall up.

What a great idea. Would be nice if many other states adopted such a mechanism. To me, it helps flag officers during a stop that they´r dealing with someone who has already committed a federal office (& therefore, for that specific reason, may be more likely to present greater risk to the officer than others). Hint. View this as a legitimate safety reason for officers during legitimate reasons to ask for approved identification.

So how about it, state legislators? Got the intestinal fortitude to put such a mechanism in place? It´s a safety issue.

If you are not a legal citizen then you ARE a second class to those who are here legitimately.

What a bunch of f^&#^$g crybabies.

The wonderful age of progressives, where truth is the worst enemy.

I think a better way would be to require them to wear a head band reading "ILLEGAL ALIEN BEWARE"

This is clearly intended to prevent illegal aliens from using their state-issued driver´s license as photo ID in order to vote illegally.
Those "slamming" NC just want to let illegals vote (reliably Dem). That should be the story, not NC´s crass insensitivity in daring to call an illegal "Not Lawful."

This is brilliant. Information for law enforcement, employers and state agencies providing services like voter registration and food stamps can now have instant confirmation of eligibility without having to ask.

I suppose that next we will have convicted perjurers complaining that their feelings are hurt when they are called liars.

Unfortunately #15, NC doesn´t have a Voter ID law so illegals and felons can continue voting for democrats. I guess if they are going to let me drive, they might as well have this status displayed. Of course, I was almost killed in 2005 by a drunk driving illegal alien so I´m pretty intolerant...

Cockroaches show up when you leave free food out in your house, or your neighbor does in an apartment building. As long as the welfare state continues the cockroaches will continue to show up. Want to get rid of them? Then no welfare, close the border and fumigate the nation.

Rant Time: THERE ALREADY IS A ROAD TO CITIZENSHIP.

You might not like it. But, it is there and over 600,000 became citizens last year. But, Illegals dont want to have to fill out all those forms!

It should say "No insurance driver", same same.

Discriminated against? They ought to be deported.

Our new Republican governor and legislature already straightening things out after long years of the Democratic rule.

The article includes a statement from the ACLU regarding "...aspiring citizens...". Excuse me, aspiring citizens do not sneak into this country, do not steal jobs from citizens, do not steal services from our government, and do not overburden our social services with their anchor babies and visits to the ER. We must begin to pick and parse the statements from the Left and loudly point out the false nature of their premise and their claims. "Aspiring citizens" my aunt Fanny. These people shouldn´t be getting licenses at all, only deportation notices.

When I traveled to Germany in the 1990´s I always used my US State Driver´s license to rent cars. Why can´t they use Mexican or Guatemalan driver´s licenses? Oh, if they can´t get them where they came from, perhaps we don´t want them driving here either?

Second class ? How about felons ?

Why does the gov have a problem with the word illegal ?

Did they want to be called Potential Voters ?
