"Do you see the difference between having a document that was valid at the time of its issuance and having no right to have the document ever?"

The "author" tried connecting the fact that Jeb Bush supposedly commented that illegal aliens should be able to get a driver's license, to the fact that the 9/11 hijackers had driver's licenses.

Tyrone purchased insurance, which means that at the time that he was issued his ID card, it was completely legal. Bush's alleged suggestion, would have us issue that same ID card to Tyrone in spite of the fact that he never even purchased the required insurance.

That's why the fact that the 9/11 hijackers had been issued driver's licenses is not germane to a discussion aboutr whether illegal aliens should be issued driver's licenses.

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.
