from ohmygov.com Denver passes ordinance to keep illegal aliens from driving" Denver passes ordinance to keep illegal aliens from driving Voters approved a new city ordinance this week in Denver that grants police the right to seize cars driven by those suspected of being an illegal alien.
Colorado law currently bans illegal immigrants from obtaining licenses and provides police officers the right to impound the cars of unlicensed or uninsured drivers. Under the new law, which passed by 54% of the vote, police officers can impound the vehicles of drivers "suspected of being an illegal alien," regardless of whether or not they actually possess a valid driver's license. Drivers suspected of being an illegal are required under the new ordinance to prove they are not residing in the US illegally...after their car is impounded.
Supporters of the bill argue it will get unlicensed, dangerous drivers off the street and be a useful tool for locating illegal immigrants.
"I think it's a big blow to the City Council, which is clearly working for illegal immigrants and has no clear idea about safety and making the city a safer place," said one advocate...." ohmygov.com/blogs/state_and_local/archive/2008/08/15/denver-passes-ordinance-to-keep-illegal-aliens-from-driving.aspx
