“However, there is an issue of public safety involved in this bill as well. Yesterday, a criminal complaint was unsealed in the Federal Court in Chicago which showed that there was a huge scam in getting Wisconsin driver's licenses for illegal aliens to drive trucks. And in at least one instance, the case of Nasko Nazov, who is an illegal alien from Macedonia, 3 days after he obtained this driver's license, he killed four people, a family of four, in a truck-car accident in Baileyton, Tennessee. Now, the criminal complaint says that the scam worked as follows: Foreign nationals paid sponsors in Chicago up to $2,000 for help in getting a commercial driver's license. Several Wisconsin residents were paid a one-time fee for use of their addresses. The clients were transported from Chicago to Milwaukee via van to banks in Milwaukee, where they used the Wisconsin addresses to open checking accounts. After the checks were printed, the clients brought them to the Division of Motor Vehicles as proof of their residency required to take their written tests.”
