Luis, I understood your point very well, but I see posters giving emotional responses after certain hot buttons are pushed by a demagogue or sloppy writer.
A foreign student can obtain a legal driver's license, and he can still become an illegal alien in the future.
On the other hand, a person who has always been an illegal alien may never get a legal driver's license.
I'm sorry, I was agreeing with you in the heat of the argument, and I came off wrong.
But yes, that's the point, and the "author" was disingenuous in his mention of the hijackers...he did it in order to elicit an emotional response.
