Must be the greed of some people and of the State of New York which looks and says at $75.00 a pop if we get the million illegals to get a license we collect $75,000,000.
Plus some will buy insurance at $300.00 a month creating billions more in revenues collected from them .
The government could care less if you are illegal as long as you pay taxes and attempt to assimilate into the community . That means paying all the licensing fees and insurance fees every other law abiding citizen does .

Good point
With Hillary's driver license plan, I wonder if the terrorists have to get their license before or after they attack us

I can see the silver lining in this - if you are required to have a drivers license ON you, and you get stopped, the officer can tell immediately who you are. There's no giving a false name, being "undocumented" - to the officer, or for medical care. Of course, he could turn you over to ICE to be deported.
This also means that NY will have a record of illegal immigrants w/i its borders and can turn the whole list over to ICE. They'll still be illegal, but they can't claim to be "undocumented".
It reminds me a lot of a set up for income tax evasion - if you have a driver's license, you're on the books for paying taxes (whether you're a citizen or not, you have to pay federal and state income taxes). And it will require car insurance which might help lower the rates for the rest of us. Who thinks that the insurance companies will factor in the "type" of license each driver has?

This is a wonderful example of perception. Is money or law of the land the important issue with illegal immigration? I prefer enforcing the law. The revenue can be made up in other venues.

Most Libertarians recognize that laissez-faire economics can only work, following its own internal logic, if the movement of both capital and labor are free. Why you oppose the full functioning of your own economic philosophy is a conundrum.

they are wrong... it just is promoting illegals to come in if we give them any kind of relief or aide. The democratic debate last night on cnbc showed hillary supporting it and when the other canidates questioned her she back talked and had no real answer if she supports or doesnt support it. she was just about the money it would bring into the state.

yep, that's why some cities are trying to ban the renting of property to them or fining employers who hire them.
Of course the ACLU is all over it, protecting the rights of these "undocumented Americans".

Much better to have a bunch of unlicensed , uninsured drivers on the road, you think?
They are here. The economy is making use of them. You figure out how to get them out without destroying the economy overnight.

You pretty much summed it up. Basically, they are trying to blend in. By blending in, they are less likely to get caught, than if they go around advertising that they are illegal.

And we should lock up the criminals that employ "them" and sell to "them." Absolutely.
