Exclusive: California DMV Ordered to Overlook Identity Theft by Illegals
Illegal immigrants are getting a free pass on identity theft and perjury felonies they committed in the past due to specific written instructions from the chief of the Investigative Division of California's Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) that essentially directs law enforcement to turn a blind eye when they discover that illegal immigrants have been using illegally obtained IDs.

A border bill introduced by House Homeland Security Committee chairman Rep. Mike McCaul (R-TX) has less than 50 miles of border fencing because McCaul thinks it would cost American taxpayers too much to secure the whole border, McCaul aides tell Breitbart News. In addition, committee materials that were distributed to House Republicans in an effort to win their support for the bill contain provably false information—specifically a claim that there are already 652 miles of double-layer fencing, of the 700 miles required by law, built on the U.S. border with Mexico.
