This year I had to RENEW my driver's license. For that, I had to provide a birth certificate...and then they mailed me the license. the new ones are ugly...no colour photo, just black and white, which makes the traditionally awful photo look even worse.. No thumb print yet, tho. Plus, this license is good for 8 years.......AND they let me keep my old license, too!! How stupid. All these ridiculous rules but we can't keep illegals out..... I understand that some of the terrorists in the 9/11 attack had Virginia driver's licenses, but still...I think the attention is being focused in the wrong direction. The only people inconvenienced or bothered or anything else are honest American citizens...the illegals never had a problem and probably never will.
