Last time I checked, it was still a state right. Unless of course everyone wants a Federal ID with a chip in it.
Actually I think it is downright frightening just how many Americans seem to think that that's a good idea. As to issuing driver's licenses and state ID's to illegal aliens, it seems that that may be a little fuzzy. One of the few legitimate roles of the federal government is protecting our borders and while the rights of individual states should supercede the feds in most things, I'm not sure this is one of them. Some crimes become federal crimes when they involve the crossing of state lines. The fact that illegals cross the national border to enter the country puts it in the category of a federal crime to begin with, in which case it seems to me that the states, rather than legitimizing people who have started out in this country in violation of our law, should be the point of contact whereby these individuals are outed and returned to their country of origin which is most often Mexico. Personally, I find it very scary that the majority of these people believe that they already have rights to the states of California, New Mexico, Arizona and Texas and think they're under no obligation at all to honor our laws.
