The governor issued an order that takes several steps to deal with illegal immigration without legislative agreement.
It requires state law enforcement officers to work with federal agents to enforce immigration laws. It instructs the Department of Public Safety to review photos on the state’s driver’s license database for possible fraud. And it requires any new state employees and contractors who do business with the state to verify citizenship through an Internet-based system operated by the federal government.
Pawlenty said the steps are necessary to respond to illegal immigration.”*
