From the AP:
A bill that would have allowed illegal aliens in Florida to obtain driver's licenses has been abandoned by its sponsor following security concerns raised by law enforcement officials around the state.
Sen. Rudy Garcia, R-Hialeah, said Friday he would propose studying the issue before next year's legislative session begins. The bill (SB 1630) was backed by Gov. Jeb Bush, but it was quickly dismissed by sheriffs who questioned whether other countries could provide acceptable criminal background checks.
Bush acknowledged Saturday it would not pass this year but said he would continue to work with law enforcement to try to improve the measure before the next session...
It's over for now, but I have no doubt it will be back. Perhaps Jeb can come up with an even more complicated plan to work with several foreign governments. No doubt working with our own federal government to enforce our laws was considered too easy a solution.

Well obviously your casual dismissal of an Immigrants right to do whatever he wants to do while he is a guest here in our county demonstrates that you are completely intolerant of foreigners.
I bet you aren
