The Law
The Colorado Road and Community Safety Act provides driver's licenses, permits or state ID cards to Colorado residents who cannot prove citizenship or legal presence in the United States.
To get one, folks must provide proof of residency, an ID and their taxes. The program is paid for by the people applying.

CAIRCO Notes
The real problem, of course, is that Colorado is allowing illegal aliens to drive on our roads.
The real solution, of course, is to build the border wall, secure our borders,
