NORTH CAROLINA DMV'S "FAKE ID" LINE


North Carolina officials say they are concerned about the continued use of fake ID documents. "In some cases, illegal aliens use their fake documents to get a North Carolina driver's license, which opens doors for them that some in law enforcement find troubling. . . In fact, people are coming to the area from as far as New York and Connecticut to get North Carolina licenses with fake IDs," the News Record notes. "The motor-vehicle agency has tightened its requirements by attempting to verify each applicant's Social Security number with the federal government before issuing a license...One day, [a police spokesman] said, a deputy decided to try a new technique when he was sent to the DMV office. 'The deputy walked in and said, 'All illegal aliens with false IDs, please step forward,' Six people did,' Jones said. 'They thought we had a special line for people with fake IDs. It sounds like a Chevy Chase movie, but it really happened.'"
