Report: Illegal immigrants still registering cars in Fulton Co.

ATLANTA - A year-old state law is making it difficult for illegal immigrants to register cars in most of Georgia, but not in Fulton County, according to a report in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The newspaper says illegal immigrants can still get a car tag in Fulton despite the law that tightened access to tags.

The law says immigrants need a Georgia driver's license before they can get a tag. And before they can get a license, they must show a valid visa.

But, one Fulton County deputy tax commissioner is quoted as saying the office is not interested in whether an applicant is "illegal or not," adding, "that's not our role...we're registering cars."
