Rafael Soto, on far right, with Pedro Garcia, second from right, and Ismael Cobos, third from right, wait in line outside, to apply for driver authorization cards, before the DMV office opens at 7170 N. Decatur Blvd. in North Las Vegas on Thursday, Jan. 2, 2014. Thursday was the first day non-U.S. citizens were allowed to apply for driver authorization cards, allowing them to drive legally in Nevada. Soto, Garcia, and Cobos had been waiting in line since 5:30 a.m. that morning. (Chase Stevens/Las Vegas Review-Journal)

To the editor:

I am a natural-born U.S. citizen, a veteran of the Korean War and a U.S. Olympian. My parents were also natural-born U.S. citizens. I have voted for every president since Dwight D. Eisenhower.

I am handicapped and called the Department of Motor Vehicles about getting my new handicapped placards, and was told I would have to stand in the long line outside in the cold behind all the illegal aliens getting their fake driver’s licenses before I could get in the door. I find this outrageous.
