Massachusetts. Commonly called "Taxachusetts" and famed for loyalty to The Democrat Party. Yeah, that state! Now it's flirting with possible federal prosecution; certainly a cut-off of highway funds and possible riots.
And all because their governor decided that if one is in America, one ought to be in America legally:
Gov. Baker: No driver's license if you're in the country illegally
BOSTON (AP) — Gov. Charlie Baker is asking state lawmakers to make clear that people who are in the U.S. illegally are not eligible for any kind of Massachusetts driver’s license.
At issue is a state budget provision that would bring Massachusetts into compliance with REAL ID, a federal program that sets new requirements for driver’s licenses and other identification cards. Under the proposed two-tiered system, residents could apply for a REAL ID-compliant license, or choose a license that’s valid for driving but not for federal identification purposes.
The governor said Thursday he would file an amendment clarifying that neither type of Massachusetts license could be obtained without proof of lawful U.S. residence.
