A very controversial issue in America right now is immigration. Most immigrants come into America from Mexico, but many also come from any other country. Immigrants come from all countries and some come legally; however, the majority of immigrants come to America illegally, without proper documentation, and now governors and state leaders want to sell licenses to them for more income.
This is not the best, or smartest way, to generate income. It is understandable that leaders do not want to increase taxes, but giving licenses to illegal immigrants is not the answer! When an illegal immigrant is given a license, they now have access to many things. Having a drivers license allows you to buy a gun, alcohol, tobacco--anything that simply requires photo i.d. The terrorists in 9/11 had drivers licenses. This allowed them to buy the guns, buy the plane ticket, open a bank account and rent a house. With out a license, they would not have been able to do this and maybe 9/11 would not have happened or at least not as destructive.
Am I saying that all illegal immigrants are terrorists? No, but they all cause harm to the economy of the United States. Illegal Immigrants do not have proper documentation like a social security number, birth certificate, etc. This means that if they do get a job, they will be paid under the table--the government does not know about it and receives no money in the form of taxes. In turn, they now don't have health insurance and rely on welfare, which was created by the government and funded by all tax paying Americans. The only way welfare recieves money is through the taxes that our hard working parents, and even us, pay. If someone doesn't pay taxes and is not physically or mentally disabled, they should not reap the benefits of taxes. Why should we have to work to support them as well as ourselves?

I think they should just be like yea illegal immigrants can get licenses and then when they come to get one they just ship them back to the country they came from.
i don't think we should give illegal immigrants a license because we have enough problems with them as it is... They're everywhere!!!
I agree with you and think that the idea is really dumb. Why would you as the government support illegal immigrants and break your own rules just to increase tax money. If they do it, they support the terrorism in the country to get more taxes and then support anit-terrorism programs with that tax money...It would be completely nonsense!!!
I don't think illegal immigrants should be allowed to get license but i do think that if they are in a working program they should be allowed. New York State is giving the Working immigrants license, but then taking it away again when they leave for a few months. This should not be fair because they are hear legally. But Texas as of right now is NOT allowing any licenses to be given out to any immigrants whether on a pass or not!
Its stupid to give them liscenses, im not saying that all of them are bad, but still its stupid
i think they should be illegal immigrants and can get licenses. They come over to get a licenses and they have to go back to there country which is bad.
The Mexican border should be mined so no Mexicans can get in. They should go back to where they belong!!! Mexicans Shall Die. :)
I don't think that illegal immigrants should get a license because the aren't doing the U.S anygood
My friend is mexican and he is in this school. i hope no more get in even if it means nuke the US
