    Mayor: issue driver licenses for immigrants in US illegally

    Mayor: issue driver licenses for immigrants in US illegally

    By - Associated Press - Wednesday, September 23, 2015

    PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - Providence Mayor Jorge Elorza says he supports allowing immigrants in the country illegally to obtain Rhode Island driver’s licenses.

    WJAR-TV reports that Elorza sent a letter dated Tuesday to Gov. Gina Raimondo, saying he supports her stand on the issue. Raimondo has said that issuing the licenses would benefit public safety. Elorza said it also would benefit the state economy.

    Glad to hear he assuming responsibility for illegals driving with no insurance. Driving is a privilege not a right. In granting driving privileges to those here illegally, the State of Rhode Island is assuming responsibility for their actions since they are present in our country illegally. Anyone who gets in a vehicle accident in any state issuing drivers licenses to illegals and the illegal flees the state to avoid responsibility, their sponsors need to be held liable. In California, it's common for illegals to flee to Mexico after a serious vehicle accident with injuries. We have absolutely no way of actually truly identifying who these folks really are. If the state decides to allow them to drive, then they assume the responsibility if the choose to run.
    We must have the clarity of vision to see the difference between what is essential and what is merely desirable, and then the courage to bring our government back under control and make it acceptable to the people. - Ronald Reagan, 1980 Nomination Acceptance Speech

    Tens of thousands of illegal immigrants are using them...

    Fake Drivers Licenses Soaring
    Oct. 17, 2017 --State officials say they suspend nearly 1,400 fraudulent drivers licenses a year, but a Saugus cop who trains police officers to spot the fakes said he believes tens of thousands of illegal immigrants are using them.
    The Registry of Motor Vehicles told the Herald its investigative unit suspended 1,376 fraudulent drivers licenses in 2015, 1,362 in 2016, and 1,040 so far this year. The suspension totals include "an underage individual using a fraudulent license to buy liquor, an applicant found to have presented false documentation or someone identified as having multiple records within the RMV's system," an RMV statement said. The agency said it maintains a law enforcement unit dedicated to rooting out fraud and training RMV employees to spot it.

    But Saugus police Officer Jim Scott, who maintains a statewide network of police officers whom he has trained to spot the fakes, said that based on duplicate identity records he's seen, he believes there could be as many as 40,000 illegal immigrants who have received Massachusetts driving licenses using stolen identities. "Clearly they're not catching all of them," Scott said. Scott told the Herald that the officers he's trained have detected hundreds of illegal immigrants with fraudulent IDs in traffic stops and other arrests by comparing their data with other official records for discrepancies. They have found many of them listing the same mail drops as their home address.


    Scott said many of the frauds could be detected before licenses are issued by watching for the so-called "address dumps," in addition to checking for repeated uses of Social Security numbers, often originating in Puerto Rico. "There's so much they could do," said Scott, adding that the fraudulent suspensions reported by RMV officials could be reviewed and prosecuted for possible identity theft -- giving authorities a chance to go after people potentially involved in drug dealing or other criminal activity and who can be deported.
    The owner of a corner store and a mailbox rental business -- identified by Scott as addresses that often appear on fraudulent IDs -- told the Herald yesterday he was unaware his businesses were being used as "address dumps" and said he has never been contacted by police.

    Stanley Ibeabuchi, who owns the building that houses his corner store and cellular phone business, said, "It bothers me for someone to say they live at the address when clearly they don't. I don't know anything about this, how did they get the address?" At another suspected address dump in Lynn, William Travascio said he has shipping contracts with the U.S. Postal Service and FedEx and rents more than 100 mailboxes. "We are by the book. ... If they have a picture ID, they can open a mailbox, they're legal," Travascio said. "The police have never come in here. We have not heard anything from the Postal Inspection Office." A laundromat in Roslindale, also cited as an address dump, houses more than five dozen rental mailboxes. The laundromat owner could not be reached for comment yesterday.
