Battle over Ga. driver’s licenses to illegal aliens

The Georgia Department of Driver Services liaison to the General Assembly, Michael Mitchell, is locked in a battle with the Dustin Inman Society’s D.A. King. The issue? Mitchell has been telling state lawmakers that illegal aliens are not getting Georgia drivers licenses. King flatly says: “That is not true” and adds documentation from former Attorney General Sam Olens: It has been happening since mid-2012.

King notes legislation ( Senate Bill 6) has been passed in the state Senate to alter the license given to illegals so that it does not look exactly like the license given to foreign diplomats, legal visa holders like Mercedes Benz executives and real, legal immigrants. Indeed, he notes even the liberal AJC covered it.

Last Thursday, Atlanta’ WSB TV station interestingly even ran a correction to a story based on DSS’s Mitchell’s statements claiming illegals don’t get driver’s licenses.
