i also doubt that not having a driver's license keep them from voting (with a little help from the dems! LOL)
Tennessee lawmakers used similar reasoning in passing a law last year to allow immigrants to obtain driver's licenses even without documentation or a Social Security number.
The reasoning was that -- since they are here anyway -- they should at least be encouraged to learn the rules of the road and buy auto insurance. The same mindset has flooded public schools with condoms. (Hey, they're gonna have sex anyway...)
The result was thousands of illegals obtaining a universally-recognized ID card that they would not have qualified for under any other circumstances. I have no figures to show whether any of them became better drivers or purchased insurance as a result. But we can probably make an educated guess.
This year, the legislature revised the law, providing those without documentation a license prominently stamped "FOR DRIVING PURPOSES ONLY." Aliens would also have to renew it and be photographed every year instead of every five.
An improvement? I'd like to think so...but I really don't. Remember, this is the state where three Middle-Eastern men are charged with conspiracy to produce fake driver's licenses, and where a driver's license examiner charged with them was found burned to a crisp in her car, the day before her scheduled arraignment. It's not believed Katherine Smith committed suicide.
