A law meant to help crack down on undocumented immigrants driving without a license isn't being enforced the way its proponents had hoped. The city of Denver doesn't always require police to impound the car of an unlicensed driver because of a loophole in the law that has advocates promising to return to the ballot to close it, according to The Denver Post [2]. The newspaper reports that about 10 percent of cars driven by unlicensed drivers are impounded and that the law requires unlicensed drivers to post a $2,500 bond and a $100 fee to free their car from the dreaded impound lot [3], where abandoned vehicles are eventually sold off at auctions. In another indication that illegal immigration opponents haven't disappeared, former U.S. Representative Tom Tancredo, a Colorado Republican, will be in North Carolina on Tuesday, preparing to speak against the subject at Chapel Hill, according to The News & Observer [4].
