If driving privilege cards can be available, they can get one, it is also good to keep the database of them. In comparison to situation where they come from, usa's situation is much better in terms of the opportunity of education, life standards, contemporaneity and so on.

I think they should haveit but first they should get a CORI check to make sure that only decent people can get it. I mean was wrong with that how come everything has to b against those poor people who came here 4 a better living?

Yes! As a resident of a border state with a large entry port, NY, I believe that illegal immigrant swill only be solved with the cooperation of the illegals. To be issued a driver license you must take both a written test and a practical driving test and pass both. To get your license you must come to a state Dept. Of Motor Vehicle office and apply,have residence,and identification. Illegals are going to drive regardless of whether they have licenses or not. The NYS driver's license is a secure identification document and the system is already in place to investigate validity of submitted documentation. The debate begs the question of "What happens if an illegal is stopped without a valid driver license?" The political candidate who are touting the conservative position on the overall problem of illegal immigration say, "The first thing I will do is to round up the two million illegals and send them back". If we are capability of "finding them and rounding them up"; why are they here NOW?

We should be helping the illegal immigrants to become a citizen of the united states. They come over there because of the harsh situations where they come from.

 that doesn't really answer the question. illegal immigrants should have the chance to become legal, but my question is should they be able to receive American privileges before they have gone through the process of legalization? is it fair for the people who actually do go through the process?

Well I don't think Illegal immigrants should be driving in a foreign country and they don't understand the language and if they have had time to be smart enough to learn the language they should have been smart enough to come through to America the proper way. You are an Illegal Alein.You are already starting trouble the moment you became one. And no body likes a trouble maker.

Illegal immigrants should be deported as soon as they make any sort of claim from the said government, or sooner if they can be identified

I'd like to see them deported as they lined up for driver's licenses. They have chosen to be here illegally. We shouldn't be enabling or encouraging this.

Illegal immigrants are inherently illegal. Would you give a convicted felon a license to own a gun?
Also, what if they don't speak English? How do you suppose they will read traffic signs?
That is ridiculous.

There is the fact that in the question it does use the phrase "Illegal Immagrants'. If these immagrants are in fact illegal than they have committed a crime. Nearly all citizens of foreign countries who are criminals are deported to their home countries. So why would we give foreign criminals valid U.S. Drivers licences?

Never, unless they become LEGAL. The key word is illegal. They should not be coming here ILLEGALLY.

 They R here illegally because they have no options. I mean they which they could be legal but they have no options because the laws to legalize most spanish illegal aliens is against them. Plus their only intention is to WORK in order to support their families.

Well, I'm FOR them trying to get one, because then it would be easier to identify illegal immigrants and deport them. What I think all of the proponents of illegal alien rights are missing is one simple word...ILLEGAL. Against the law. The right they have in the country they are illegally in is simple, the right to be deported.

Absolutely not, illegal aliens are not citizens and a driver's license/ID card is an identification for legal citizens. These people need to be sent home until they can figure out how to enter the country legally.
