    Public safety issues may include forms of financial responsibility in the case of an actual accident. It also helps our economy to have that much faith in Capitalism.

    Would you be any safer if drivers didn't need to know anything at all to drive in the US? If not, then it must be a public safety issue.

    It won't be me changing my true witness bearing tune; but, I understand that not all elected representatives are moral enough to bear true witness to our own laws, even with a McCarthy era phrase in our pledge.

    I don't think it would make a difference...

    Like I said, it's a money making thing for the State...

    However, as the law stands, the documentation is required, and ignoring that is to ignore the law...

    It's an ID, first and foremost.

    Well, yeah, it is an ID...

    But, you could just get an ID card for that purpose...

    As you know, DL's are more expensive, and since they're a requirement to drive legally, well, that's why I say it's more for revenue purposes...

    No it isn' ta public safety issue. There are thousands of pepole out there who know how to drive, and drive well, who don't have any DL. So no it isn't a public safety issue.

    Public safety and finanical responsibility?? That makes no sense. The two are not any were near related. You need to have insurance when you drive so that if you are negligent in your driveling then the other drive is covered. That isn't any were near a public safety realm.

    It could make a difference to the persons involved depending on an accident and the care obtainable through insurance, afterward.

    In any case, a person with insurance may be willing to drive more safely due to the market based feedback involved.

    On average, it should make a difference.

    But how would having a license help an illegal in this regard? They dont carry insurance.

    it's not the license that covers any cost. If they arent buying health insurance, they arent buying auto insurance I'd be willing to bet. The license isnt going to pay the injured party.

    Indeed, with agencies enforcing different laws based on their application and whom it affects.

    The LAPD obviously is not tasked with immigration enforcement. there is an agency for that, and for good reason.

    This police chief should be charged with treason as he does everything he can to help mexico. Giving DLs to illegals will encourage them to drive even more dangerously than they already do. Right now they have to tone it down on the roads to avoid gettting pulled over and caught for driving without a license. Give them a license and they will all be driving drunk at 100 mph like is SOP in mexico.

    Obviously you have never been hit by an illegal alien with no auto insurance.

    It may be that an accident may be avoided, simply by better knowledge of the rules of the road. Insurance usually requires a licensed person if there is any licensing requirement, for cost reduction purposes.

    The ones that should be charged with treason are elected representatives who take an Oath to bear true witness to our own supreme law of the land.

    Not sure how making someone pay for a driver's license and auto insurance is "subsidizing" them.

    A market friendly work visa could solve our illegal problem on a permanent basis via Commerce that is well regulated. None of your concerns would even be an issue then.

    Why is it so difficult to get some folks to understand for an illegal to work here at a regular job he MUST commit 1 or mor of the following felonies.

    Why are we to ignore these law violations? How about bearing witness to those laws?

    Those issues would be prevalent to a much less extent, merely by bearing true witness to our own laws. We would not even have an illegal problem for you to be concerned with, in that case.

    In those cases, taxes are being paid and the benefits may not be payable to the actual workers who actually worked.
