Tennessee counties deny marriage licenses to immigrants

Immigrants in some parts of Tennessee can't get marriage licenses because county clerks are requiring Social Security numbers to obtain them.    Oh, wait,  the ACLU says it's a misinterpretation of the law. 

A state law passed in 1997  was a response to a federal law aimed at making it easier to track down parents who fail to pay child support.   Hedy Weinberg says the law requires disclosure of the marriage license applicants' Social Security if they have one, but doesn't require the person to get one. source

Wait, before you get all excited here, in one instance a 'leal resident' with a passport and a visa was denied the marriage license.

Maikel and Alicia Garcia couldn't get a marriage license in Davidson County, even though Maikel Garcia is a citizen and Alicia Garcia is a legal resident. Maikel Garcia said the clerk's office wouldn't accept his wife's passport and visa.

Robertson and Williamson are among counties that will accept passports from applicants who don't have Social Security cards.

So if people are 'legal' and have 'visas and passports', is there a reason they should be denied a marriage license?  I don't really see it.
