"Martinez said she has to get to her job at a Raleigh law office without a driver's license."

Yet she doesn't appear to understand the definition of the word "illegal."

mstrspydog - First of all learn your facts please. Illegals do not have the right to vote nor do they have the right to obtain a drivers license.

Under the program they have lawful presence which means they do have the right to obtain a drivers license while the permit is still valid.

so how do ILLEGAL immigrants in the USA have the right to vote, get DSS / food stamps, driver licenses, and work? If a US citizen tried to do ANY of these they would be locked up. Why not these people?

Illegal immigrants are criminals who are here illegally and should be deported.

They are entitled to zero rights that American citizens are entitled to.

She's a criminal who should be deported for being here illegally.

She does not posses the right to drive because she isn't here legally.

Let’s face it, this driver's license thing is just one aspect of a much larger 20th century issue that has slopped over into the 21st century and the time has come to finally resolve it. A new worldwide book/ebook explains the role, struggles, and contributions of immigrants and minorities: "What Foreigners Need To Know About America From A To Z: How to understand crazy American culture, people, government, business, language and more." Endorsed by ambassadors, educators, and editors, it paints a revealing picture of America on numerous subjects for those who will benefit from a better understanding. Immigrants and the children they bear account for 60 percent of our nation's population growth and are 60 percent more likely to start a new business than native-born Americans. It identifies "foreigners" who became successful in the US and contributed to our society. However, most struggle in their efforts and need guidance if they are to contribute. Perhaps intelligent immigration refo

@ driverkid3 let them hitchike to the jobs they STEAL from the citizens of this country..

I have a great idea, since you hate illegals so much, why don't you STEAL their jobs, like working in fields etc...?
