Non citizens here legally is not the same.

The problem most have with it is that conferring a license rewards clearly illegal behavior. If you are here illegally, you have broken the law. Period. So why should you get any benefit. I would guess that there are more than a few so called deadbeat dads who have had their licenses stripped from them so why should illegal immigrants be treated any differently?

I do agree though that our government turns a blind eye to the whole situation for reasons of convienence. The Dems need a ready made constituency and the Repubs like the cheap labor. That sucks for the rest of us.

Stu, out here in Cali, we have whats called uninsured motorist premiums - don't know what you have there but I will bet you that this premium here will never go away. Big Insurance will continue to insist that there are uninsured people driving so therefore, the premuim is necessary. Frankly, I don't think I should need it in the first place as I already have insurance so why do I need extra to pay for the other guy who doesn't

Its all about the money and the poor slobs (ie. us) who follow the rules are the ones who are going to pay.
