An illegal immigrant who participated in a House Democrats press conference on Wednesday complained about not being able to get a driver's license in the U.S. due to her lack of legal status.
"For an undocumented immigrant, not having a driver's license cuts our legs. You cannot work. You cannot take your children to school or the doctor," said Ingrid Vaca, who came to the U.S. in 2000.
The Bolivian citizen complained about not being able to get more government assistance as an illegal immigrant and called on lawmakers to pass a clean Dream Act.
Illegal immigrants in a number of progressive states are permitted to get driver's licenses, including California.
The Trump administration announced Sept. 5 that it would begin winding down the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which provides work permits and legal protection to adults who came to the U.S. illegally when they were children.
Congress has until March 5 to pass a bill that addresses DACA, though it's not clear whether Trump would sign a bill that continues former President Barack Obama's 2012 executive action.
“You can’t even become an Uber driver...”
But you CAN become an Uber customer. And if you live in New York City, you can join the MILLIONS OF PEOPLE who don’t drive there (mainly due to the cost). Sounds to me that she she’s not willing to move to where she’ll not need to drive, and where she’ll be protected by local Leftists.
No one says you can’t work, or take your children to school or the doctor. They just said you can’t do it in a car you’re driving in this country you do not belong in.
Now you can go back to Mexico, and get a license and drive all over the place with your kids. You can take then anywhere in Mexico you want. Have a good trip.

So go home to your country. There are millions of US citizens who cannot work, because of illegals taking their jobs. Get out already.
I was a green card holder until about a month ago...yep...
If our elected idiots would institute the measures you laid out, watch the libtard heads explode. Sit back and watch the fireworks. Popcorn, anyone?
I agree. I’ll also readily admit it would have to be tweaked a bit, but it’s a great starting place.
Modify it a hair, and implement it.
Then sit back and watch our nation improve in direct relationship to the amount of hand wringing on the Left.
Can’t get a drivers’ license if you’re an illegal ALIEN? Good! GET OUT!
Can’t they get a driver’s license in their home country before they invade the U.S.?
It would be honored here for driving and identification purposes.

NOT ABLE TO GET MORE GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE AS AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT?!?!?!
She was promptly escorted to the border and deported, right?
