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

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!

Bid to block license law has immigrants on edge

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.

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

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.

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.

In the beginning (Latinos) were enthusiastic, they were optimistic,"

It's funny how "latino" and "hispanic" have now become synonymous with "illegal alien". I know a lot of latino americans who weren't at all enthusiastic --- they aren't here illegally from Mexico and have their drivers licenses and auto insurance.

I have an idea: a reprise of Clinton's executive order granting expedited naturalization to people who served in the active-duty military during Gulf-War 1

Get something passed that, if you are an illegal, joining the military and serving 12 months in an active combat zone will get you naturalized. See how many take the US up on it, versus how many whine

One fender bender or stop by the police and the truth would be discovered: Ide does not have a driver license because he is not an American citizen.

The author would do better not to begin his story with such an outright lie in the second sentence. My wife is not a U.S. citizen and she's had several U.S. State DLs - of course that might be because she and the millions of licensed non-citizens like her, are legal immigrants.
