Good news!!
The following is copy of Oregon Representative Vicki Berger's "Top Three" priorities for this February legislative session as taken from her e-news letter of today:
* We should make sure that driver’s licenses are issued to applicants only after they prove they are living here legally.
* We need to strengthen the requirement that a driver will receive a license only after producing federal identification, such as a Social Security number.
* This has been framed as an anti-immigration issue but it is much broader than that. Oregon has notoriously weak license requirements and to strengthen them helps to decrease our identity theft and Meth related issues. Also the federal Real ID Act requires that we make positive actions in this area by May of this year.

Everyone needs to remember that along with the driver's license comes the 'motor/voter' privilege. Doubly egregious in my opinion.
