While we are on the subject of driving, perhaps this is a good time for me to reminisce on the fact that in England if you cannot speak GOOD English you are not allowed to take the drivers test - PERIOD. ---Monster


What? You mean they speak "English" in England too?? I was in an establishment a few days ago, in another town, and I swear I was the only one in there speaking English! And it wasn't just all Spanish either!

Speaking as an immigrant myself, I have to say this is garbage. If you have gained your Green Card through the LEGAL AND PROPER channels then getting a Social Security card is not a big hassle, even if you don't plan to work for whatever reason. In fact, I had mine BEFORE I was awarded my Green Card, I actually got it when I was given my work visa. If you obey the guidelines that are in place, and treat the system with respect, it generally isn't too difficult to get a Social Security card, drivers license etc....

Yes, let's let a little local rivalry get in the way of implementing what is a DAMN good idea.

While we are on the subject of driving, perhaps this is a good time for me to reminisce on the fact that in England if you cannot speak GOOD English you are not allowed to take the drivers test - PERIOD. The written test there consists of 50 questions - 25 of which are ASKED of you by the examiner and require ORAL not written responses so they can gauge how good your English is, the other 25 are multiple choice like they are here. Yes of course over there there are the usual people crying that it is unfair to non English speakers, but because all the road signs are in English the government have so far been able to hide behind the 'safety first' banner.

Just my post Turkey Day musings.

Thanks for clearing that up. I was having a hard time swallowing that bit of information about legal immigrants not being able to get driver's licenses.

It's good to know that it was a bunch of crap!

We shouldn't have to JUMP ON ANYONE"s bandwagon. If the commissioners and mayor of this city gave two shits about any of it's TAXPAYING, LEGAL, CAN VOTE YOU OUT just like they voted you in, citizens they would be leading the way on the illegal issue but no...we continue to let illegals have their way in our city at the price of safety and having a nice community that someone would actually WANT to live in. UGH

Yeah, the advice is pretty free - for what it's worth. To each his (her?) own!

Bottom line is that they are going to bow to the pressure from the illegal advocates.

The reason they only send a few to jail each year was mentioned in the article...they plea them down and such...grrrrrrrr What does that do to make the community safer for you or me? Where's sheriff Joe when you need him?
