Isn't that weird. If you wanted to police against the presence of illegals, all you should have to be able to do is find the list of people with this "special" driver's license. But what better way to keep the illegals out of Utah then to deny them the right to drive a car, or anything else for that matter. How many illegals are driving trucks for a living with an advance class rating? How can we justify persecuting employers who hire illegals when a state issues them special driver's licenses?

Strange contradicition indeed. What does an illegal need a car for in the US anyway? If you're illegally here, you shouldn't be planning to stay so long that you'd need a car or a license

Its a real stupid law. It harasses US Citizens, and they still give illegal aliens a driving permit. One of those things that make you scratch your head.
