AP: Strickland administration allowed illegal immigrants to register vehicles

The Associated Press reports:

Ohio policy allowed thousands of illegal immigrants to register cars and get license plates, and the outgoing director of the state Department of Public Safety delayed a proposed crackdown for more than a year, a newspaper reported Sunday.

Director Henry Guzman, whose last day is Friday, delayed the proposed crackdown after meeting with Latino business owners and those who profited by charging fees to falsify power-of-attorney forms to obtain registrations for illegal immigrants, The Columbus Dispatch reported. Guzman announced his resignation last Aug. 27 because of a feud with State Highway Patrol Superintendent Richard Collins, who also resigned.
