In fact, allowing immigrants to have licenses actually improves homeland security by allowing our government to track who is in our borders.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
At the end of the day, it not only doesn't make logical sense to deny licenses to undocumented immigrants, it doesn't make financial sense.
I believe that we do our country a disservice when we make it harder for new American immigrants to abide by the rules of the road and obtain drivers licenses.
Our current identification system is so disjointed that the World Trade Center terrorists had a total of 63 valid driver's licenses between them.
We have got to secure the border and enforce existing immigration laws.
We have to get control of our borders. You can only do that if you make companies obey the law and not hire undocumented or illegals. They can only do that is if they have a Social Security Card that has biometrics so they know whether the person is legal or not.
We also need to strengthen the security of our borders and ports and strictly control immigration.
I do not support amnesty. I do not support driver's licenses for undocumented immigrants.
I fully recognize we need to improve the path to citizenship, just as we need to value the hard work of folks who become American citizens legally.
We need to enact a strong standard that will stop a terrorist or illegal alien from getting a driver's license because border security is a major concern in a post-September 11th world.
I do not support driver's licenses for undocumented immigrants.
