Michigan (MI) Drivers License

[ UPDATE: MI had reversed the law and started granting licenses for legal workers and students. Thanks MI and thanks to all who fought for it ]

Michigan state has enforced a new rule on (jan-21-08) that denies drivers licenses to Illegal Immigrants. Sounds good aint it. Hold on, while the move was to deny DL for illegal immigrants, it goes a bit further to deny licenses to ppl. who are in MI legally (H1 workers, L1 workers, Students). Thats surely not the way to go when you are taking steps to reform a state's economy. It is believed that a lot of workers have already started leaving MI because of the economy and the current slow down. There will only be more if this rule stays on. MI state folks, make it Michigan and not Mission Impossible.
