    We all have only one life to live. Most illegals come to have a better life. What if you were in their positions? They want to have a chance at life, to be happy and to be treated as people, not rats. We all have choices and dreams and wants and needs. Some dream to be a ballerina, some to be a top gymnist, and some to be a pop star, or even just to be someone no matter what. If you have a dream, you should go for it.
    A good object to have in this country is a vehicle of some sort to get around in. That\’s what they see we have and that\’ll be what they want out of convenience. I think that it\’s good that illegals get driving certificates. That way they won\’t be too illegal, right? It\’s better to be at least a little more legal than straight out illegal. All I\’m saying is… give them their chances. They aren\’t all bad.

    Way to go Illinois. People that come into this country illegally have broken the law. They are criminals. How do you punish those that break the law, give them a drivers license. More proof the idiots in Springfield really are representing their constitutients.

    Probably not only Illinois will fall into this pattern. Their thinking, I am sure, is to get the money for issuing the driving permit to the criminals. There are too many bleeding-hearts out there who will go to almost any lengths to provide benefits to these freeloaders.

    Ship \’em back to where they came from (and I am not only talking about the Mexicans) and let them make the efforts to come in legally, not illegally crossing out borders. It is an invasion, plain and simple.

    We are a nation of immigrants who, when they got here, worked hard to assimilate and become US citizens. I am not suggesting that they dump their culture at all, but let them learn to read and communicate in our common language.

    Look at all the signs in two languages now. I have heard stories of immigrants being here for ten years and more who are totally unable to communicate in English (check our little Havana in Florida). It is ridiculous when I call a major company and I have to press 1 to continue in English. How much is it costing companies to make these modification to serve those who won\’t learn \”our\” ways?

    I agree with both your posts. What they ought to do is when they sign up for their certificates send them back to where they came from.

    President Carter did not do us any favors by allowing the Mariel boat lift in the early 80s. Letting over a 125,000 cubans into our country. Majority of them being prisoners and criminals. South Florida is overrun by Cubans and we are becoming a minority. If you read the Miami Herald and see the crimes reported the names of the criminals are all spanish.

    My grandparents immigrated to the US in the 1930\’s from Germany and in order to become Ciitizens had to learn English and take an exam (written in English).

    It is amazing the amount of Spanish speaking people that call our agency that DON\’T speak ANY English and have been here for years. While we do employ bilingual people to help accommodate these people, they are not always available and they get really pissed off if we cannot help them immediately.

    Learn the language, become legal citizens or just get the hell out.

    No more dial 1 for ENGLISH! No more REWARDS!

    I say when the illegals appear at the Driver facility and apply that each one be put into a holding area to await INS pick-up!

    Lets see – Circuit City just fired a boat load of employees and told them that they could \”reapply\” for their jobs at a LOWER WAGE… Now – Let\’s get a guest worker program in the US – Give them all Drivers licenses and Thanks to BANK OF AMERICA let them have credit cards without proof of citizenship and we\’re all going to be in the unemployment line – You think \”Mr Garcia\” wouldn\’t like his trucking job back that was paying $18-19 an hour for let\’s say… minimum wage – cause he\’s sending his $$ back to Mexico where he probably has a beach front resort home???? We\’re all being lead down the path of destruction by politicians and corporate greed – Who is going to be able to pay the mortgage when they let you go and then let you \”reapply\” for your job at half the salary . . . I\’m sure Hose A and Hose B will be first in line…

    This $&*@#( just frosts my shorts – When are american citizens going to stand up and say enough is enough! ! ! ! !

    Billy Crystal thought he had a tough client? How are you going to rate an illegal transient with no social security number?? And, what company is going to willingly take on that business??? Talk about fraud city; you ain\’t seen nothing yet. Watch for insurance claims seminars sponsored by our Hatians to come to a city near you.
    Could some one please post a list of insurance companies stupid enought to book this business? I\’d like to go way short on their stock. Hey; maybe this will be be a way to license illegal carriers to write policies for illegal owners & drivers. At least then, when they go broke, it will impact us less. Meanwhile, don\’t drop your UM coverage.

    Wake up America. Illinois, have you any concept of the \”legal\”. These people are here illegally, they broke our laws, they continue to break our laws, our jails are over crowded with them. Tough crap to anyone here illegally. Go back where you came from and go through legal channels like the rest of America did. You know, the guys and ladies that fought in WWII to save America and the freedom\’s American enjoy. Just because you share a border doesn\’t make it right for you to be here. Go back and we\’ll mow our own lawns, or have the kid next door do it. If you are here legally, welcome and respect the liberties this country has fought so hard for.

    Shoot, let\’s give a driver\’s license to my tabby cat, too.

    Meanwhile I\’m feverishly calling my agent to up the limits on my UM/UIM.

    Thanks a billion, Illinois and Uncle Sam. Great job you\’re doing there.

    I vote for so-and-so because he or she claims to represent me and they always turn out to be liars and cheats once they\’re elected.

    Maybe illegal immigrants should be allowed to run for office, too? Can\’t hurt to let \’em try, eh?

    I can\’t say that they aren\’t all bad. They are already criminals, and that would make them, by definition, bad.

    They may be good people with all the dreams and aspirations and potential as anyone else, but that doesn\’t justify breaking the law.

    You break the law; you should be held accountable.
