"Immigrants are not terrorists, except a few of them," he said. "The legislation that was introduced today is designed to get the bad apples out of the barrel before the barrel was spoiled."

What a stupid statement. There isn't anything in this bill that culls terrorists from laborers.

The only reason the anti-immigrants want to deny drivers' licenses to illegals is they think that will give citizens a competitive advantage in the job competition.

But if anyone can't compete with an illegal immigrant for a job now, this bill won't make any difference. In a non-union state you can't force employers to hire bad workers. They'll just relocate to a business-friendly state. If we cripple American businesses enough they'll just relocate over seas.

So, people who don't believe in giving legal documents to people who break our laws to get here are anti-immigrant?

Immigrants are an asset, however, tens of millions of ILLEGAL immigrants are an unsustainably crushing burden.

THAT'S a ridiculous statement. A driver's license will put them on the streets behind the wheel of a car, resulting in MANY more accidents. Most of them will NOT purchase auto insurance, even though it's required by law. THAT is going to result in OUR insurance premiums going WAY up. More accidents will result in more of them going to the hospital for treatment. THAT is going to break our hospitals, who in turn will pass on the increases to US. DWI'S are going to soar. It's going to tax our police, fire, and rescue, who are in turn going to need additional people to meet the huge increase of accidents. THAT will be passed on to the taxpayers too. Illegals cannot read English which means they will NOT know OUR laws, therefore, they will break them all, and they won't care. The reason they won't care is because they broke the first law in America when they entered into the country illegally, and they got away with it. In fact, they were rewarded for it. They will NEVER have respect for our laws. I could go on with MANY other ways that it is going to harm Americans, but is it REALLY necessary?
