You can have drivers licenses and you don’t have buy car. But, if you legally buy car and legally licenses the car you have to have proof of insurance AT time of resignation.

The fact that this is such a common term that no one seems to be bothered by it anymore, is exactly what makes it so horrible. You've all become so accustomed to your own bigotry that you don't notice it.

2. I would rather have a person who has proven that he knows how to drive, and has acquired insurance and registered his vehicle, than someone who hasn't done any of these things, driving ahead of, behind, or beside me on a public road, regardless of his/her immigration status.

I guess you put the political spin on it for the agenda to make its sound so righteous. They are if they entered the country illegally or over stayed they’re visa, they not undocumented ( the new liberal term) they are illegal aliens.

WRONG...You can get a drivers license without owning a car. The rest of your comment is unintelligible. Perhaps you can edit it so it makes sense.

Is the license going to state “non-citizen” so they cannot use the ID to vote?

If I was concerned about law breakers, then almost everyone on this board would be law breakers. Nobody has lived a pure life.

When you turn the word "illegal" into a noun, it's offensive. It's just as offensive as calling a Jewish person a certain word, or a black person a certain word, or an Italian a certain word, or a Muslim a certain word.

People are not illegal. Their alien status might be illegal. Their actions might be illegal. But the person himself - exists as a legal human being. There is nothing illegal about his existence. His presence in the USA might be illegal. But HE - is, by all legal definitions, a human being. Not "an illegal." That word, used as a noun, is offensive. It's also ignorant.

YOUR comparison is what’s offensive. Being a Jewish person or a black person or an Italian or a Muslim is not illegal.

I got it!!!!

The person is real? Check!

The real person has entered the USA illegally? Check!

The real person is an illegal alien? Check!

Illegal alien persons are not and should not be allowed the privileges or rights of all the other real persons who are either born here or here legally. It is the law!!!

Resorting to a straw man argument? Almost always a losing strategy.

Once the government, local or federal, allows an illegal person to come in and register for a license, they are condoning that person's presence here illegally (no legal action taken for violating the immigration laws of the land).....additionally allowing them a privilege heretofore reserved for US citizens and legal residents.

Once the fear of law enforcement, or the fear of being caught is removed or voided or selectively enforced there will be new problems for our society.

A grave error that threatens the safety of our country is being promoted for political gain!!

A few years ago Colorado gave illegals drivers licenses, there was a belief that the illegal immigrants would be able to obtain insurance on their vehicles. They were supposed to be a special license but in error they sent out a regular license. If I remember correctly the program was pretty much a failure.

California is now electing an illegal to public office. Start small, drivers license, now public office. Sorry but laws have reasons.
