CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- U.S. Rep. Sue Myrick is co-sponsoring a bill that would crack down on illegal immigrants who try to obtain a driver's license.
It threatens to pull back federal highway funding if legislators fail to toughen up the laws in six states, including Myrick’s own state of North Carolina.
"Our feeling is that a driver's license is a privilege for citizens and legal aliens, and it shouldn't be something given to somebody who broke the law," said Myrick, who was joined at a Washington, D.C., news conference Wednesday by Reps. Patrick McHenry and Virginia Foxx -- two other Republicans from North Carolina.
