House Bills 130 and 316 are two of five pieces of legislation proposed to limit or ban undocumented immigrants from obtaining a driver license.

The issue is getting more attention following the release Wednesday of an audit concluding Utah has issued more than 58,000 driver licenses and 37,000 personal identification cards to people here illegally.

Some legislators worry undocumented immigrants have been using the state's driver licenses to register to vote and to travel on airplanes.

Tilton's bills create a statewide undocumented immigrant database created and maintained by a private company. Each undocumented immigrant would have to submit identifying information and a thumbprint to get a license only for driving, not for identification. To maintain that license, the person would have to pay a $25 to $50 monthly fee and take a monthly class.

Tilton wants these immigrants to pay the fee to "offset the costs" for state-provided education and health care.

What Tilton has ignored, according to the American Civil Liberties Union, is the Bill of Rights, "which applies to every person in the United States, not every citizen," said Dani Eyer of the ACLU of Utah.

She said the bills would violate the privacy of these people by constituting "private surveillance for the government for profit."

Salvador Lazalde, a community activist and adviser to the Mexican Consul, said Tilton's bills ignore the taxes these immigrants pay and the benefits they provide to the state.

He worries the database will further create two classes of people and expose undocumented workers to prejudice.
