Here's what it should say:

The police chiefs say that since illegal immigrants [are breaking the law by their very presense here, they should be deported back to their native country.]

The law enforcement officials say one effect would be fewer [illegal over populated housing abuses], which would help keep [property values from plunging] down for all [law abiders].

But, no, it's 2002AD and this is the Unted States of America, with government Of the people, By the People, and For the People, and the RINO's are in charge.

So it will never happen.

Lawlessness begets lawlessness. A huge internal war is coming over this.

But Mobley argued that licensing illegal immigrants would improve national security by giving authorities a clearer picture of who lives here.

Yeah, like the 9-11 maniacs who all had licenses. Real effective, eh? What really burns me is that U.S. citizens are required to give social security numbers to get a license. Illegal aliens are not. So we don't even have equal rights to the lawbreakers.

Most illegal aliens are working under assumed names and would apply for drivers' licenses with same. Many in the U.S. have a complete lack of understanding of the illegal alien society and economic operating parameters.

[error99]

I wonder what "proof of identity" an illegal alien be required to produce in order to obtain a driver's license?

"The police chiefs say that since illegal immigrants drive every day anyway, licensing them would lead them to buy auto insurance and learn the rules of the road."

I think criminals should be given firearms instructions by the police on the correct use of guns. Since they are going to use guns anyway, they should at least learn how to do so safely and accurately.

I think rapists should be provided with free condoms. Since they are going to commit rape, they should at least avoid transmission of STDs.

What kind of nation of idiots are we turning into?? Did these cops check their brains in somewhere after becoming chiefs???

The daily news is becoming funnier and funnier, if it wasn't so scary.

ROTFL. Yeah, I'm sure the very first thing they'll do is buy liability insurance!

FYI ping: This might be useful info re potential voter fraud.

Don't get me started on this. The Lutherans brought in a bunch of Vietnamese and insisted they have a house on the bus line so they could get to work. Shortly after, they got them all drivers licenses and cars to drive around. They could not drive and did not understand the concept of not driving while drunk. It was a disaster.

A couple of things since I live in the area of concern. These illegals get fake SS and drivers licenses all the time. First order of business when they get here. I know because I know some of the legal ones and hear the tales. My friend from Costa Rica is adamant about his hiring practices as a general contractor and had told many of his former countrymen (he is a proud American now) ADIOS. But, when an illegal gets here and sends all his money home the last thing he thinks of is maint., ins etc on a 1992 van. Hell the last thing he drove was a bicycle. I come across these guys all the time here, and they are the worst drivers. A coworker of mine was hit by one and the guy could not speak english (or presumably read road signs) and the cop couldn't tell if the thing he produced was insurance or not. We still don't know yet if it was legit. </rant> whew thanks

My, but our DeKalb public officials have been on a tear this week. We've got this idiocy, and we've got a county commissioner proposing a smoking ban in all businesses, including restaurants.

"...licensing them would lead them to buy auto insurance and learn the rules of the road..."

"The police chiefs say that since illegal immigrants drive every day anyway, licencing them would lead them to buy auto insurance and learn the rules of the road."

Get serious! Learn the Rules of the Road!!! The so called legals (non-hyphenated anglo's) don't know the rules of the road....and some of them don't have insurance... You think the illleagles will buy insurance. If they have an accident they just disappear....what have they got to loose... We'll have the signs in spanish before they learn the rules of the road....... Ok now I have to go lie down and get my blood pressure back to normal.....
