Will illegal aliens want to get a valid id? Will other states or agencies assume most of these cards belong to illegal aliens and automatically arrest them?

Homeland Security strikes deal with New York on driver's licenses -- Newsday.com: "The Bush administration and New York cut a deal Saturday to create a new generation of super-secure driver's licenses for U.S. citizens, but also allow illegal immigrants to get a version. New York is the fourth state to reach such an agreement on federally approved secure licenses, after Arizona, Vermont and Washington. The issue is pressing for border states, where new and tighter rules are soon to go into effect for crossings. The deal comes about one month after New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer announced a plan whereby illegal immigrants with a valid foreign passport could obtain a license."
