No laughing matter
In Odds and Ends (July 24) on the editorial page, the editorial board attempted to make light of the issue of New Jersey officials' complaints regarding the issuance of illegal driver's licenses by the state of North Carolina. I just don't see the humor in the fact that persons who are in the United States illegally can get identification cards that can be used for such things as boarding an airplane, renting vehicles, buying controlled substances, registering to vote and getting credit cards.
The editorial board needs to come to grips with this, since it is not a laughing matter. I'd rather see the editorial board pushing the governor for stricter rules and enforcement to help solve this problem.
