The unstated issue is expanding the right to vote to illegals. The MSM and democrats want that big-time. Auto-Fraudo (motor voter) requires the states' dmv's to offer every applicant the opportunity to register to vote. At the same time, they are forbidden to ask if the potential applicant is qualified or to inform of the requirements.
Licensing illegals is all about diluting republican votes. (dems know that as law-breakers, illegals are likely democrat party members)
Exactly. Someone else mentioned it this way, but it describes the situation perfectly... a driver's license for any illegal is basically amnesty at the state level. Once you have one, you're legit.
