Would that illegals were on edge because the probability of their immanent deportation was near 100%.

If I am a citizen and I drive and but don't have a license, am I an Undocumented Driver? Shouldn't the government give me a license? So many sarcastic questions and so little time.

Typical leftist tripe. They try pulling on your heart strings to get you to feel sorry for these people who are in the country illegally.

Yo! Gabriel! Lemme tell you how you clear up your problem. First your resident alien parents (if they are legal) apply for American citizenship as they should have done years ago!

Second, you get your butt back to Mexico!

Third, since your parents will eventually become citizens (like they should have done years ago) they will be able to apply to have you on the list for an immigrant visa. (While your butt is back in Mexico, of course!) That's what is known as waiting your turn as legal immigrants have always done when they came to this country.

Other than that, I have no sympathy for you!

They left out a very crucial word in this headline. Here, let me fix it...

Bid to block license law has ILLEGAL immigrants on edge

There. Much more accurate.

[El Conservador]

That headline is making us LEGAL immigrants look bad...

You inna' heapa' trouble, boy. Driving wit'out a license. I guess we ought to see if we can buy your vote, then decide about the ticket?

How much less would this country weigh if all the illegals were deported?

[RKV]

Best estimates are that there are 8 million illegal aliens in the US. Times an average of 150 pounds per person is 1.2 x10^9 pounds.

I don't know if I agree with you in every circumstance. The guy was 5 years old when he came to the U.S. I know of a man who was in his 50s, having lived here since he was a baby, illegally. He was deported to his native country. He didn't speak any language except English, knew no one in that country, and had to leave his family behind, they being U.S. born American citizens.

Should an exception be made when the illegal immigrant involved was a child of tender years when he was brought to this country? I think it's a different situation than that of an adult who comes here illegally. The child had no control over the situation and no clue about immigration laws.

How many times has the federal government offered instant citizenship to any illegal who applies and has been living in the US for a while? Mexico lets them hold dual citizenship. If they have been here that long and haven't applied for amnesty, I have no sympathy.

Ide has lived in the country on a tourist visa since he was five years old.

So the parents are guilty of breaking the law. Send them all back to their nation of citizenship, where they can drive with a clean conscience.

[William Tell]

From the article: "Ide has lived in the country on a tourist visa since he was five years old. His father, a resident alien in the United States, and his mother both have legal Social Security numbers. But Ide is not his father's biological son and right now there is no path to legal status for him. "

The awkward wording here suggests to me that the author is intentionally trying to hide the fact that the "parents" are not married. The article seems to downplay the issue of how somebody came to the US on a tourist visa and "forgot" to end the tour.

90% say NO licenses to illegal aliens.

I've never understood why people think a**holes who drive with no licenses, registeration or insurance will pay $xxx for insurance just because we give them a free license.
