LOL @ Reminds me of what Linda Lingle's Big Island rep explained to me..... the way they deal with Puna is to get everyone arguing and simply walk away.
I'm not sure why people are obsessed with the DUI/license aspect, but it's not unusual to be able to get a state ID without proving residence status. In the last 8 years or so states have been making this more and more difficult. However their concern isn't so much your immigration status. Lacking my social security card, I tried to use my US passport in lieu of the SS card. The DMV refused to accept that and I was only in the US for 1 week specifically to renew my drivers license. It was rediculous.
It was then after arguing with the manager that I realized they didn't care about my residency status but rather that I was signed up for social security and paying into the system. I think this is why when illegals can easily obtain others' social security cards when applying for jobs they look the other way because they can collect the taxes but don't need to pay out the benefits. It's also the same reason that many employers don't use e-verify and ignore visa statuses too. They don't have to pay out any of the expenses or really worry about minimum employment requirements.
