ANNAPOLIS, Maryland -- Maryland lawmakers yesterday continued efforts to prevent illegal aliens from obtaining state driver's licenses.
"The driver's license is the basic identification document for nearly everyone in America," said Sen. Janet Greenip, Anne Arundel Republican and lead sponsor of the proposal to bring Maryland into compliance with the federal Real ID Act. "When we open a bank account, when we enter a building, we use our driver's license to prove our identity."
Mrs. Greenip's proposal would require driver's license applicants to present proof of "legal presence" or that they live legally in the United States.
