The lawsuit, brought by five illegal immigrants, comes after Oregonians passed Measure 88 last year with a strong two-thirds majority. Thirty-five of Oregon’s 36 counties voted against licenses for undocumented residents, as did every congressional district in the state, most of which are represented by Democrats.
But the lawsuit alleges Measure 88 is unconstitutional because it "arbitrarily" denies driving privileges based on membership in a "disfavored minority group." It alleges Oregon voters were motivated by "animus toward persons from Mexico and Central America."
Gustavo Recarde, who has worked construction and odd jobs in Portland and several states since sneaking into the United States in 1988, said a driver's license would help him feel more comfortable here and open doors.

When they show up in the courtroom they should be shackled and deported........in a normal world.
Illegals should not have Drivers License. I have known three people who were involved in accidents and the illegals were at fault and they got no compensation, since the illegals had no insurance. They got royally screwed and the illegals kept their drivers license. There was no recourse since illegals own nothing. The Government allows them in and gives them drivers license, then the Government should be held accountable and deport them. They get around $45,000 or more from the Government, public assistance and SSI they don't deserve now.
It's not their race or ethnicity, it's their CRIMINALITY that is addressed here.
What part of that don't you get?
Illegal is illegal, and your "comfort" is not my concern!

That's correct. I remember moving to the Eastern Shore of Virginia about 35 years ago and the migrants that came up from Florida would drive cars with no insurance. On pay day they would get drunk and do stupid things like crashing into someone's house and killing their passengers. No drivers license, no registration for the car and no insurance. Imagine that, everyone gets screwed by these scumbag cock roaches from Mexico!
I do not understand how an illegal non-citizen has any standing in any court room of this country to bring a civil suit. If I was the judge the case would have no standing nor legal merit, be thrown out and if they want a license go back home and get one there!
Why do we even have immigration laws if they're not obeyed?
They legally have no LEGAL recourse...
