New license law has ripple effect on illegal immigrants - Kansas (you need a social security number now)

“About 15,000 current Kansas driver’s license holders obtained their license without a Social Security number, said John Holroyd, a public service administrator with the Department of Motor Vehicles in Wichita.

Some may be foreign students, but the majority are believed to be illegal immigrants who renewed licenses obtained before Kansas verified residency.

Kansas Secretary of Revenue Joan Wagnon has said the change could affect 50,000 people through the years as current license holders have to renew and others seek licenses.”
