The
Colorado move on driver's licenses prompted criticism from
conservatives, who say it's an incentive to break immigration laws.
In what’s become something of a national trend, Colorado began issuing driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants on Friday.
State and national conservatives have already lambasted the plan, saying it will encourage more illegal immigration and intensify the wave of Central American migrants flooding across the Rio Grande into Texas. But the plan’s advocates say it’s both a necessary measure to improve traffic safety and a sign of a sea change in the way Americans view the immigrant community.
According to state authorities, demand for the new licenses has been extreme Amid national debate, Colorado issues driver's licenses to illegal immigrants
