Should Illegals be Allowed to Receive Drivers Licenses?

Well, we're dealing with a question about blanket rules here. Should immigrants who lack proper documentation be permitted to obtain driver's licenses. The rule would apply to exceptions to the norm. And you have asserted a separate blanket rule that all such persons should be deported.

Anyone can register to vote if they want to commit at least one felony, driver's license or not.




You really have a bad habit not responding to questions and then asking several more of your own.

you're question rhetorical. stop being an idiot. as if you were really asking me a question. i responded to the subject and you of course did not.

now...do you really think we should have no immigration laws.

and your theory about felons is wrong, you're talking about people in prison....not people on the street.

No, my question was serious. What is the problem with granting citizenship status no non-criminals that are not unlawfully present in the country?

My "theory" about felons is not wrong.

I don't think we should have no immigration laws, but the ones that we do have are shitty and don't work for anyone.

and i answered that question already. you made the claim i don't answer questions right after you made a rhetorical question/statement. my first post in this thread answered your question and we've been discussion it the whole time. please pay attention.

is it your claim that felons, once released from prison, cannot vote? do cite something to back this up. because that is not the case in CA once you're completely free of the penal system.

As a 20 year truck driver, and someone whom has seen what illegal labor has done to the wages of other industries, like construction, drywall finishers, etc...I say hell no....!
 
What the article is referring to is the new "deferred action"law, announced in June.

Those approved under the law should be issued licenses. As I stated before, they have not broken any laws.

As if not having a license is going to stop them from driving?

At least if they're licensed, we know who they are, and where to find them if they have an accident.

And many are here illegally, solely because our govt. can't keep up with the sheer volume of those who are trying to come here LEGALLY

The people in the article didn't come on their own, they were brought by their parents. So they didn't break the law.

according to the US attorney, they are here unlawfully....thus, breaking the law. you guys should really bone up on facts and law before spouting your own personal opinions as facts.

the answer to your question is no, they shouldn't.. but the article was a little more detailed than just "Should illegals be allowed to receive DL's"

The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, announced by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano in June, allows undocumented immigrants younger than 31 who were brought to this country illegally before they were 16 to apply for protection from deportation for a two-year renewable term. It applies to young people who are in school, completed school or served honorably in the armed forces and who do not have serious criminal records.

in those cases, yes.. they should.... But no, no one should just be allowed willy-nilly to cross the border or fly in from overseas..walk into the DMV and get a DL.. there needs to be a little more than just 'your on our soil, here's your DL'.. IMO

make sense? ;)

from the US attorney himself:

The office of U.S. Attorney Christopher Christie

Monday, Christie said that while entering the country illegally is considered a federal misdemeanor, simply lacking legal immigration status is a civil violation.

"He did not say, nor did he mean, that entering this country through any means other than the appropriate immigration channels is a lawful act," the statement read. "It is not."

and btw...illegally crossing the boarder is a criminal offense

Just a question from an ex military member ekg....How does an illegal serve in the military?

Here are the current requirements for recruitment....

Before you visit your local recruiter, be sure you meet the minimum qualifications for serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. Some qualifications are required by all five services:
You must be a U.S. citizen or resident alien.
You must be at least 17 years old (17-year old applicants require parental consent).
You must (with very few exceptions) have a high school diploma.
You must pass a physical medical exam.

Now you may say the "resident alien" part...but that is a specific legal term...It refers to being in the country legally.
