Illegal immigrant complains about being denied a driver's license: 'You cannot work'
Washington Examiner ^ | 10/11/17 | Anna Giartelli

An illegal immigrant who participated in a House Democrats press conference on Wednesday complained about not being able to get a driver's license in the U.S. due to her lack of legal status.

"For an undocumented immigrant, not having a driver's license cuts our legs. You cannot work. You cannot take your children to school or the doctor," said Ingrid Vaca, who came to the U.S. in 2000.

The Bolivian citizen complained about not being able to get more government assistance as an illegal immigrant and called on lawmakers to pass a clean Dream Act.

Illegal immigrants in a number of progressive states are permitted to get driver's licenses, including California.

The Trump administration announced Sept. 5 that it would begin winding down the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which provides work permits and legal protection to adults who came to the U.S. illegally when they were children.

Congress has until March 5 to pass a bill that addresses DACA, though it's not clear whether Trump would sign a bill that continues former President Barack Obama's 2012 executive action.

I don’t understand. Is she here on a student visa or a work visa? I didn’t see it in the article.

That's the idea, fool.

Oh, bullsh!t. You can Uber or bus or taxi or walk or hitch a ride or ask a friend to take you to the doctor. Schools typically have buses, or are in walking distance, as well.

Why is she worried about LEGALLY driving when she is an illegal to begin with?

I guess some laws are more important.

>>>For an undocumented immigrant<<<

There is no such thing as an “Undocumented Immigrant”.

Legal Immigrants are required to have Documentation proving their Immigration status.

Immigrants are invited, Invaders are repelled.

Gee, I bet she could get a drivers license in Bolivia... I suggest she try there.

I’m so sick of hearing the word “immigrant” for these people. They are “Illegal Aliens.” That’s the description. “Alien,” as in someone who is NOT a citizen of the United States of America, and “Illegal” because they came here illegally. They are NOT immigrants. “Immigrant” infers that they follow the laws.

Illegal Alien. Go away!

what part of illegal does she not understand? It is high time these illegals are told that they are breaking the law, and they should be arrested, and deported.

If illegals respected our country and our laws they wouldn’t sneak into our country and have the audacity to whine about their treatment. We should have made them respect our country by kicking them out as soon as they set foot on our soil.

More Americans should have respected their own country enough to demand their representatives protect their borders and their national security.

So yes, it is about respect.

Someone make my night and tell me that ICE was waiting for her outside the room and immediately deported her. And let her know that her bastard, illegal children would soon follow.

Thank you, in advance.
