The surge against illegal immigration finally seems to be working.http://articles.latimes.com/2008/02/21/editorial_pages/ed-oklahoma21
“Federal Judge James H. Payne wrote that illegal immigrants do not have the right to sue: "An illegal alien, in willful violation of federal immigration law, is without standing to challenge the constitutionality of a state law, when compliance with federal law would absolve the illegal alien's constitutional dilemma."

Driver’s Licenses for illegals
December 27, 2007
“Michigan law must be interpreted against that background of federal law when considering questions involving aliens. It would be inconsistent with that body of law to find that a person in this country illegally, who has not secured permanent alien status from the federal government, can be regarded as a permanent resident in Michigan. There is nothing in the language or history of the Michigan Vehicle Code to indicate the Legislature intended to do so. It is my opinion, therefore, that only a resident of Michigan may be issued a Michigan driver's license. A person who is not a lawful resident of the United States cannot be a resident of this State for purposes of obtaining a driver's license under sections 51a and 303(1)(h) of the Michigan Vehicle Code, MCL 257.51a and MCL 257.303(1)(h).”
