"Basically, they're saying, 'Let them do our dirty work, but let's not really treat them like human beings or Americans,'"

No, what we really are saying basically, is that we'd prefer that you just went home!

"Every state in the United States should be the same," she said. "It's one country and everyone should be treated equally."

She's been here 13 years and has never bothered once to read the US Constitution? Send the idiot back to Mexico where the states really might all be the same.

There's a big part of the problem right there. What an absolute waste of space and money.

Looks like my Nevada neighbors know how to run things better than the dingbats here in Cali trying to give everything they can away to the illegals.

No need. Mexican citizens in this country can drive with their Mexican-issued driver's license. Nice try.

They can --- but of course many never learned to drive in Mexico --- or here. They just want to hop in a car and start driving. Illegals here use their Mexican drivers licenses, if they bother getting liability insurance and pay their previous tickets they don't have any trouble when stopped. They want the US drivers licenses for other reasons --- one --- it lets them get over the border very easily --- as good as being legal.

He's just an immigrant here to do that boring, waste of space kind of work that no American wants to do.

"Basically, they're saying, 'Let them do our dirty work, but let's not really treat them like human beings or Americans,'"

Anybody who doesn't see where this is going is a willingly ignorant yutz.

Soon we will be asked to pay reparations to these people for forcing them to labor at menial tasks.

It then won't matter that they broke our laws to take those jobs. The lawyers will make millions.

The only requirement to be a member of my church is that the prospective member be saved. A saved person can join by baptism, a letter of transfer from another church of like faith or practice, or he can deliver his salvation testimony to the assembly, and the assembly can vote him in.

We have morphed into a nation that no longer requires citizenship ..all to save a few buck on getting our lawns cut..

said Janine Hansen, president of the conservative Nevada Eagle Forum. "But we don't have to make it easier for illegals once they get here."

<< Idalia Marquez, 25, migrated to California from Mexico 13 years ago and .... said states should honor other states' drivers' licenses.

"Every state in the United States should be the same," she said. "It's one country and everyone should be treated equally."

Easy to see she's a product of an American public school system "edge-kashe-on."

Never heard, I'll bet, of State Sovereignty.

At issue are two laws passed this year letting the Department of Motor Vehicles refuse a driver's license to people who arrive from states with less stringent standards for issuing licenses.

This is more than likely unconstitutional. But its nice to see Nevada is trying to do its part to help the problem.
