How many times has the federal government offered instant citizenship to any illegal who applies and has been living in the US for a while? Mexico lets them hold dual citizenship. If they have been here that long and haven't applied for amnesty, I have no sympathy.

You are right, vis-a-vis the 50 year old guy.
But what about the case under discussion, in which the illegal immigrant is only 19 years old and has been here since he was 5. Should he have to pay for the sins of his mother?
To me, this is an important sub-issue because there are probably plenty of children living in the U.S. in the same circumstances.
As to whether illegal aliens should, per se, be permitted to have driver's licenses, I firmly think they should not. The issue about illegal immigrant children is a different one, and I branched out from the original topic.
