Maryland lawmakers are forever trying to resolve the vexing issue of illegal aliens seeking driver's licenses, which would be almost funny if their moral flaccidity did not show how vulnerable we are to another terrorist strike. The obtuse thought process is hardly limited to Maryland's windbags. Nothing provokes doublespeak or total capitulation in a politician like the seemingly clear-cut issue of illegal aliens. They are here illegally, so send them back, right? That old-school thinking apparently has no place in these enlightened times of feeling pain and emoting on Oprah's couch. We are obligated to embrace the desperate plight of illegal aliens and be a good civic friend, no matter how counterproductive this proposition is to our long-term health.

Good for Tom Knott.
LOL, that about sums it up.
They are here illegially, therefore they are criminals. What part of criminals doesn't Bush understand?
When I lived in foreign countries I had to have an International Drivers License. That was a long time ago so maybe those no longer exist. Oh, excuse me. I forgot we are talking about mostly Mexicans who were too poor to have anything to drive.
The political wrangling regarding illegal aliens in Maryland and elsewhere is symptomatic of a nation that no longer respects its sovereignty and no longer expects to be taken seriously.
Instead [of enforcing immigration laws], our lawmakers aid and abet the lawbreakers. In a way, they are no different from the coyotes leading a party of illegal aliens into the U.S. Both act as facilitators to the unlawful act.
This abdication is no trivial matter, in case anyone has forgotten the horror of September 11, 2001.
