On any given day, Juan Francisco Aparicio will drive his children to the doctor's office, his wife to the grocery and himself to work. Yet, he doesn't have a drivers license.

He can't apply for one because he doesn't have a Social Security card, which he can't get because he is not a legal resident. He moved to Illinois seven years ago from Sacatecas, Mexico, and, like hundreds of thousands of undocumented workers who lack a license, drives a car anyway. Every day.

Move along....nothing to see here. Protection of borders has not yet been realized by the American populace, nor most of their politicians, as a security need. They will learn the hard way.

The politicians could care less about what Americans want since they think the votes are in hispandering.

Just raising insurance rates Americans don't want to raise by not buying it and getting into accidents we'll ALL have to cover. And let's not forget voter fraud, which dovetails nicely on the driver's license deal. Another Fox victory over American sovereignty.

Juan Francisco Aparicio of Damiansville, Ill. takes care of his children Tuesday in Carlyle, Ill., while his wife visits WIC, a social service agency that helps pregnant women and women with children.

Nothing to see? Hardworking illegals receiving welfare (WIC)?????? Must be a misprint.

(sarcasm off)

And this is the crux of the problem. Not that illegals want to work, or drive, but that they're a HUGE drain on socialist services programs.

If they support themselves that's one thing. If they do it by having the government picking my pocket that's another.

Parasites !!

California should spend what remains of their budget advertising this possibility.

Maybe they'll all leave for Illinois.

When they get those drivers licenses they will be asked at least twice during the process if they want to register to vote. Leaves a person all warm and fuzzy....

Bill Clinton's plan is starting to come together and the Republicans are not doing much about it.

I'm some what surprised the reporter let this out of the bag in his/her story. This paper is very left wing. WIC comes out of all our pockets.

All of this crap going on throughout the country is getting beyond my ability to cope. I may have to stop reading these threads before I go stark raving mad.

I know what you mean. I took about three days off from the Free Republic starting last Friday and read "Black Hawk Down". Great book. I felt refreashed and ready to jump back in after the time off.
