Yes, the fact is not giving them drivers licenses is not going to serve as a deterrent's or going to fix the immigration problem. The fact is if they have cars they are going to drive them might as well make sure they are properly licensed and insured. What purpose does not giving them licenses serve? How does it make our roads safer? How does it protect citizens who are in accidents that involved those that are unlicensed and uninsured? By denying them licenses you are not deterring illegals from coming here and you are not making our roads safer. Until we figure out what to do with illegals on a permanent basis we are going to have to license these people so we can know who these people are.

No, why would you want to encourage those that here ilegally to make themselves at home. In New York once the illegals get their licenses, the proof that they are illegal will be destroyed and their licenses will be the same as those that are here legally. With the motor voter act then they can apply get their voters registration card. Once again those that want to blur the line between illegal and llegal are carrying the water for the illegals. If those that think that giving illegals licenses because it will reduce those that drive without insurance are wrong, and what a price we are going to pay if I am right

Why should anyone in the country who is illegal breaking the law be allowed to get a license ? In many states you have to have insurance to drive a car if you dont you will get a fine if you are pulled over. besides if an illegal has licenses what kind of id do they bring with them when they ran, walked or was smuggled in to this country illegal drivers kill thousands of U.S. citizens every year on the highways I was ran over at work and what happened to that driver in her exact words me not do it it was someone else.

No, their illegal status should not be rewarded with any sort of legal documentation. A drivers license has always been accepted as your legal identification and usually opens the door for other documents that would normally not be available to those that are not in this country legally.

This idiotic concept has been proposed in New York State and I can't imagine a single reason for it. If a person here illegally applies for a license, and you know they're here illegally, isn't there some kind of obligation to do something? Like, turn them in? And isn't the government supposed to do something about it, since they're here illegally?

NO NO NO a million times NO!!!
a drivers license is a legal document that gives a person the priviledge of driving legally.
If a persons mere presence in this country breaks the law then nothing they do should be legal

No.
It's illegal. Are you having a problem understanding that they are here illegally. If you are do this. Go to the Yucatan Peninsula or the southern most Mexican border. Watch what they do for people coming across their borders illegally. They have machine gun outposts set up to kill those trying to sneak across the borders. Quite different to how they want us to treat those that come across our borders illegally.

Not unless they fingerprint them so we can find them and return them home. Isn't that how some of the 9/11 terrorists got identified?

No. They are not entitled to any right and privileges in the US because they are illegals.
