The Privilege To Drive Illegally Or Not?

Should those who are illegally in the U.S. have the privilege to obtain American driver's licenses? 

I say yes!  In fact, absolutely!  But why is that? 

Well, let's first consider the problem of not having a driver's license, as well as being in the U.S. illegally.

Without a driver's license, a person's identity can not be truly revealed.  And this poses a problem for everyone, especially when there's a traffic accident.  If you're not the one at fault and they don't have a "valid" driver's license, you don't know who to bring charges against.  

And no offense to the spanish citizens, but how many "José Juan's" are there, who have a valid driver's license and are in the U.S. legally?  Again, this is a real problem.  

But remember, especially for those of you who may disagree with illegal aliens having American driver's licenses; driving is a privilege and not a right.  So, giving someone the privilege to drive is not the same as giving them a right. 

However, I do understand the concern that many people have with this issue.  And that's why I feel that illegal aliens, who obtain the privilege to drive, should also be given a different class number, other than the regular class number. 

For example, if someone were to get a class "C" driver's license and they are also an illegal alien, then that driver's license would be a class C - A - what ever nationality they are.  And the word "Alien" would be either underneath their name or across their photo.    But what purpose would any of this serve?

Well, for one, those who are given driver's licenses can also now get insurance.  And that's a big plus for everyone.  Secondly, illegal aliens can now be properly idenitified and even tracked through APB warrant checks.  And third, since they are now more easily identifiable, those illegal aliens who have committed crimes can be easily deported and kept record on.  So, this can be a win/win for the U.S.

I mean, do you really know the people in your neighborhood?  Why not?  You drive by them everyday.  Wouldn't you like to know if they even have a privilege to drive also?  Why not make them official by giving the same privilege as you have.  It's not a right.  And the rights, which you do have, are not being infringed upon.  It's just safe to know that people who practice driving on our streets are, in fact, licensed drivers, regardless if they are here illegally or not.  

What'cha think?

Glock, don't be dumb. There's no such a thing as the boogey man.

First off, if you drop your insurance and still are driving, chances are that when you get into an accident, then you're going to be arrested. And since you're also an illegal alien, you are also going to get deported. But how do you know who's an illegal alien, if they don't have any identification?

I mean, do you honestly think that it's right that you have to have a driver's license and the driver next to you doesn't? Yet, they choose to cross over and run into you, without a license or insurance, leaving you stuck like Chuck, looking for a buck, straight out of luck.

Now, what are you going to do? Your car is totalled. And they're someone in Mexico, eating a burrito, trying to get back into the U.S.

So, why don't we play this smart. Let's stop creating fear media and playing the boogey man blues. No one is out to get you. But if we're going to have illegal aliens, in our country, then at least get some kind of proper identification on them. That way, we can then choose who we're going to give citizenship to or deport. Can't really give them anything, if you don't know who they are.

4dollars.....out of all the posts that you've written, I agree with you on this one. There has to be a way to establish the identity of the people driving and what their status is. Being married to an immigrant, I understand their delimma. People don't realize that the problem with illegal immigration starts with the embassies in foreign countries, not with the fact that jobs are plentiful. My wife obtained her VISA legally, but the catch is, she had to pay money under the table on top of the fee's. That's water under the bridge, she becomes a citizen next year.

Glock....I'm a conservative libertarian, but you're an idiot who can't even write or spell correctly. I recommend that you go back to school and learn the basics of witing. TTFN (ta ta for now).

Well written post 4dollars.

It's really quite easy to spot the illegal drivers (any nationality)-they're the ones going five miles under the posted limited in the left lane!

No they should not have drivers licenses. The drivers license is a privilege that they haven't earned. personally I think they should brand them, and then deport them. You do realize that it is a criminal offense to be driving without identification right? If an illegal gets stopped, or has an accident, they should hold them until their identity is revealed. Once revealed, and they are illegal (95%) then they should be deported. What's wrong with that?

Illegal Aliens are just that .."ILLEGAL". Now, I understand it would be good to know exactly "WHO" is the illegal alien but the root of the problem is that they are here ILLEGALLY. It's not Driver's Licenses they need, what they need is to GET OUT and if they WANT TO STAY and ASSIMILATE to the American Way of Life (which has been eroding the past 20 years) then they can apply for CITIZENSHIP LEGALLY. Like so many others have successfully.
Yes, the Un-licensed, Un-Insured Illegal Alien is a menace to society, however the answer is to identify and deport those that are here now and prevent further incursions of our borders in the future.

The only problem with giving them a legal driver's license is that they will THEN drive ILLEGALLY anyway. Where I live, if you're in a car accident and it's the fault of someone who is found to be an illegal alien, you have no recourse against them if they don't have insurance. I think I heard a news report that illegals can't get auto insurance because it would put insurance companies in a pickle. I haven't wrapped my mind around how, but I think I'll do some research to see how true it is or is not.

If it turns out that they can't even get insurance, what's the point of giving them a driver's license?

Look, if people with medical problems, or even senior can't get a Dl than illegals shouldn't be able to get a DL. Insurance wouldn't cover medical probs, why should they cover illegals?
And yes, it does relate.
What I mean by seniors, is that the controversy of having their DL taken away from them at a certain age etc...

$4 and everybody else, here's the bottom line.

1) Illegal guy driving hits your wifes car on 285. Is he going to stop and check on your wife? Check for pulse? Call 911 and press "2" for Spanish? No. He's illegal. He's not going to wait around for the police to deport him. He's outta there. I hope she's ok.

2) Illegal guy goes to a government facility to get a drivers license. The government says "hey, you're illegal, so how about we right that on this card so when we check your card later we can deport you". This is your suggestion $4? Dumb. Um... hey, why don't we just arrest and deport the guy right then? He's standing RIGHT THERE and admits it! Bounty hunting problem solved.

3) Illegal guy crosses the border. He's hungry and tired. Oh, these guys are just looking to make an honest living! Let's be nice! Sure they are, eventually. How does he make it to where all the good jobs are in Atlanta? Well, he has to steal his way there. Sure, later on he'll have a shiny car (which he drives illegally) and a nice no-credit-check apartment. But for now, he's hungry. And he's going to take your wallet. You do not get a paycheck on your first day in the US. You are hungry and stealing until you do.

Basically, when your entire disposition is summarized by the word "illegal", you do not get good boy credits.
