There is a law that the governor wants to pass in my state (Missouri) that says anyone who knowingly helps an illegal immigrant to get a driver's license should be prosecuted and punished. In Missouri it is already a crime for illegal immigrants to get a driver's license but this also implicates people that help them to get one:

What do you think of this idea, are you for or against and why?

Well, if it is already illegal for them to get a license, someone helping them to obtain one would be guilty of forgery, correct?
If it is already illegal for immigrants to obtain it, how would someone "help" them to get one without breaking another law?

Of course someone who helps an illegal should be prosecuted!
If I know someone who robbed a bank and I helped him/her out (by giving him/her money or a car or I let him/her stay in my house) I could be charged as well.
Same principal applies here!!

If our government really wants to find illegal immigrants, they need look no further than the local Catholic or Christian Church, every Sunday. But then, that wouldn't be the Christian thing to do, would it?

I am not only all for it I am for expanding it to include ANY aide to illegals should be severely punished. Fines are not enough, we need prison terms. Five years for each instance of aiding an illegal with no chance for parole or early release. It should target landlords, hospital administrators, school board presidents, bank presidents, credit corporation CEO's and the lady down the street who gets her lawn mowed cheap (putting a kid out of work).

The people who employ them should be prosecuted and fined. If we take away the economic incentive to hire them, there won't be jobs for them, and they'll leave.
