Just curious, since states are giving drivers licenses to illegal immigrants, when would their licenses expire? Would that be at the same time their matricular card expires?

I think it should be illegal for an illegal immigrant to get a driver's license.

If they couldn't get a license, that would be one more reason to not come here in the first place.

And where did the idea come from that if a woman comes here as an illegal immigrant and has a baby the baby is automatically a US citizen. This needs to be rethought, IMHO.

I know it doesn't make sense! If they are illegal,,,they are illegal. But here is the establishment's logic.

If they can't get a D.L then they can't get insurance. And if they can't get insurance then you wont be convered when they smack into your wife and kids.

You think to logically. You are not qualified to be in charge of the INS.
