Really? I liked the part in the broadcast where they interviewed 2 illegal immigrants, neither of which spoke English, and one said something about worrying about becoming a criminal. Um, you're here illegally, you already are a criminal. I'm not against immigration. Just do it legally.

This is ridiculous we are missing the main point of the whole title to the story "ILLEGAL" immigrants, sounds like they should be arrested, this is a form of terrorism and goes to show how well a job homeland security is doing. Shame on the lawmakers our forefathers are turning in their graves as well as all the soldiers who gave their lives for this country. So no they shouldnt get a license to drive they dont even have a license to be in this country
