Who's really going to admit they are illegal?

The thought of who is really going to walk into a State office and state, "I'm an illegal alien and I want a driver's license that's going to tell everyone who has access to this database that I'm illegal and where I live", would not leave my mind when I read this CNN article, Homeland Security, New York agree on new driver's licenses.

New York has between 500,000 and 1 million undocumented immigrants, many of whom are driving without a license and car insurance or with fake driver's licenses according to the CNN article. I think on this one, Rep. Peter King will most likely end up being right:

"I can't imagine many -- if any -- illegal immigrants coming forward to get the driver's licenses, because they'd basically be labeled as illegal,"

Especially given scenarios like this one:

ALBANY, Oct. 25, 2007 (McClatchy-Tribune Regional News delivered by Newstex) --
Illegal immigrants who try to apply for driver's licenses in Erie and Niagara counties will be subject to arrest -- and deportation -- under a plan being developed by the two county clerks and law enforcement officials.

The move is the latest -- and potentially most serious -- challenge to Gov. Eliot L. Spitzer's new policy to permit illegal immigrants to obtain driver's licenses if they possess a valid foreign passport and other identification.

"I'm being asked to look aside to something that's illegal, and I'm not going to do that," Niagara County Clerk Wayne Jagow said Wednesday.

Jagow and Erie County Clerk Kathleen C. Hochul have been in discussions with local police officials to determine what procedures will be used -- and whether federal or local law enforcement agencies will be notified -- if an illegal immigrant seeks to apply for a driver's license.
