  1. While their presence violates federal entry laws, they are here, and they are driving cars, often without insurance. If the State gives them a driver’s permit in exchange for full identity registration, and proof of insurance, that is helpful to the all too often accident scene where they flee, or simply get ticketed and keep on driving without insurance. It may also help track the rotten apples coming into the country. On the other hand, how can the process keep them from dropping the insurance shortly after getting the license? Overall, fingerprints and identity seem like a good idea, even without the insurance benefit.

    1. Next step – offer them a path to citizenship … contingent on the payment of all appropriate taxes and good behavior.

  2. If they are currently driving without insurance. Why do we think they would be concerned about getting insurance with some type of license? They have already shown they don’t follow the laws by driving now. What am I missing? Yes, I know people need to drive. Wait, no they don’t. The roads in northern Indiana are filled with Amish who ride bikes and buggies and collective vans. THEY FOLLOW THE LAWS, of both their church and the state. Just saying.

  3. Someone please explain to me which laws we are going to enforce. If illegal aliens can get a license as a misdemeanor/felon why can’t a US Citizen with 10 DUI’s get a license?

    Illegal Entry”/8 U.S.C. § 1325-Misdemeanor Fine plus 6 months prison

    Illegal Re-Entry”/8 U.S.C. § 1326-Felony 2-30 years in prison

    Answer: The illegal alien has more rights than US Citizen. And many states have motor voter laws that register licensees to vote in state and national elections. Huh!

    1. Didn’t read the bill nor the article that these are useless for voting. Huh!

      People go on and on about voter fraud and then they elect a Secretary of State (the office that actually administers elections) who was clearly caught voting where he didn’t live.

      It’s like it’s not really that important to enforce the laws.

      Letting illegal immigrants have a drivers license with strings attached seems like a fair trade. Ask our esteemed Congressmen solve the immigration issue.
