Michelle Malkin has a report from an anti-real ID rally she attended in Maryland.

She reports …

Several hundred “documented” and “undocumented” workers attended, demanding driver’s licenses and blanket amnesty. Maryland is one of ten states that don’t require applicants to prove they are citizens or legal residents. Nevertheless, militant CASA leader Gustavo Torres complained: “The MVA [Motor Vehicle Administration] has absolutely no right to ask for people’s Social Security number or immigration status to get a driver’s license.” The illegal alien advocates led protesters in a chant demanding that the “MVA Obey The Law!”

Here are a few things that bug me:

What is so wrong about proving you’re an Ameican citizen? I’m proud to be an American. I was born here. I have no problem proving that to anyone. If the local licensing office wants to see my birth certificate, SS Card, and proof I live in the county — what the heck is so wrong with that? I don’t see any problem with it actually.

What is so wrong with wanting people not to be able to use illegally gotten driver’s licenses, to say – get on planes and then fly them into buildings? NOTHING!

Why are there people in this country — yes, other American citizens — that want borders open to allow illegals to enter, obtain identification, so they then can board planes and fly them into buildings?

According to Michelle, the local law enforcement wasn’t even there to enforce the laws — other than letting illegal protest against something that would prevent them from getting identification. No — they were there to harass a local talk show host:

The cops didn’t mind intimidating Michael Graham, however. The WMAL-AM talk show host, who came provocatively dressed in an INS t-shirt, was denied entrance onto the taxpayer-subsidized, public high school field by organizers who said the protest was “invitation only.” When he presented ID showing his affilation with WMAL/ABC News, organizers of the illegal alien driver’s license rally told Graham he didn’t have proper ID.

Yeah, that’s right. They told him he didn’t have proper ID.

I cannot understand the stupitidy of some people in this country.
