Law closes illegal immigrant driver's license loophole

It is a simple fact that it is against federal law for any illegals to be in this country and in case you didnt know, it is also against fedreal law to assist them in any way or to hire them....so any state that gives them a DL is also breaking the law

since it is against the law they infact should be rounded up and taken back to where ever they came from whether it be Mexico, Africa, Ireland where ever they come from, also it they continue to re enter this country put them in prison. We as Americans need to be ultra concerned about our security and if we hurt some feelings in the process to d**n bad

Only if you are born here are you required to register with selective service unless you immigrated and naturalized. Those guys older than service age can't be charged. But they are illegal anyway. Sooner or later they will be caught with the new laws in NC. Any driving accident in NC that results in an injury can be processed as a felony charge if there are reasons to prosecute the driving incident. And now, the state of NC has to determine the legal citizenship of anyone that is charged with a felony. Deport follows due course. I can see the dramatic increase of drive-offs now that this is out and the word is spreading. 400,000 illegal aliens leaves a lot of statistical room for accidents.

PLEASE!!!! Stop beating this horse... it is dead!!!! I can't believe my eyes! I AM 40 and I agree with the 17 yr old. For Pete sake, where is the love of your fellow human? Or do you morons think because they are illegal they are not human or even our equals. In the eyes of God we are brothers, weather you like it or not. God does not care what your nationality, he rewards compassion and kindness. They are illegal, SO WHAT, at least they work, and don't give me that crap about them taking “our” jobs, if you were going to work one, you would already have one and they can't take it if your doing it right. Blame the company executives who want thicker pockets and sent jobs south. I for one am sick of hearing all the pissin and moanin about what they are taking away from "US". We have taken way more from them how would like your dignity and freedom taken and questioned just because your chose to try to make a better life for your family. Any of you who have ever traveled to their country will know that you are treated with dignity and respect no matter where you go. Be compassionate and kind not judgmental or cruel and again...so what if they are not "legal" citizens, they are still citizens. Citizens of this country and the majority of them follow the laws of the land. Please don't say if they can't follow the one law to get here how can they follow any other law, well to this I say, if you even got a speeding ticket, a parking ticket or forgot to pay for something, how can YOU follow the laws? You broke one already? Please do not forget that they may be illegal but they ARE human and deserve kindness. Let us also please remember that even though "Julio" and "Consuela" are illegal, most of their children are born here which makes them entitled to every right afforded to you and your children! So live with it, as a matter of fact, with “Julio” and “Consuela” being illegal, they can’t file a tax return and get back any of the money they pay out in Social security and Fed and state taxes. So… who is really paying for the welfare system to stay afloat? Try walking in someone else’s shoes before you start yelling about what “They” are doing. It make sense to me to take away a way of them obtaining legal drivers licenses, they will still drive they still need to get to work and school and doctor appointments and grocery stores and unfortunately it will end up most likely driving without a license and insurance, who will end up paying for that? I’ve got 10watt light bulbs brighter than the leaders and law makers of this state and country. GOD HELP US ALL!!!

You just lost your spot for getting into a college because the illegal criminals spell better than you and now they have more "priviledges" than you. They have a right now to a better education than you can afford and at your blue collar job tax money expense for the rest of your life. Are you so dim you can't see the train that just hit you? If you are, then maybe you deserve it. Darwinism is a b*tch and the dumbest don't survive!

You're seventeen years old. Get back to us about that "compassion" when you're a productive, tax-paying member of society, watching the money you contribute every payday going to pay for TANF, food vouchers, and Medicaid when Julio is locked up for DWI and Consuela needs to feed the seven ninos. BTW, you're missing a critical point of this issue - since they're not citizens, and came here illegally, they don't DESERVE the same rights as citizens. Why are you so willing to think that as an American citizen, you're nothing special?

My, my , my ....all of 17 years of age....thinking you have the answer to all of the problems with illegals in this country. Well, when you can't get a job, because they are all being given to illegals, or can't afford health insurance, because the cost of your insurance is helping to pay for the illegals who use our hospitals and don't pay, when you get out in the world on your own, out from under your parents purse strings, come back in a few years and see if you still feel the same way!!!!

Uhh...Beverly Purdue - like the chicken - is the governor of NC - though God knows we'd be as well off with the chicken.

It conjures up the alarm bells that Benjamin Franklin set off about German immigrants in the late 18th century, who he insisted could never adopt the culture of the English, but would "swarm into our Settlements, and by herding together establish their Language and Manners to the Exclusion of ours." It popped up in the mid-19th century amid worries that Chinese immigrants were "unassimilable," which led to Congress approving the explicitly-named Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. And it helped welcome the 20th century when Massachusetts Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge warned that immigrants (read: the Irish) were diluting "the quality of (U.S.) citizenship" and others complained that Italian immigrants were uneducated, low skilled, apt to send all their money to their home country and prone to criminal activity. Where have we heard that before? And when will we hear it again? After all, Hispanics may be the latest group to find themselves in a culture war with nativists. But they won't be the last.
