Under Bill (“I only claim my Hispanic half, just as Obama only claims his black half”) Richardson, we in New Mexico passed a law granting drivers’ licenses to illegals.

The rationale was that illegals would then, at least, purchase car insurance, something like that. I kid you not.

I don’t think that is working out too well, since purchasing insurance isn’t high up on the illegal’s “to do” list.

Most people here illegally are happy to take the freebies, perks, whatever (medical/educational, children born physically on American soil automatically have citizenship etc.) but have a temporary attitude towards their sojourns in the US and, mainly, send $ back to their families in Mexico while happily setting up clandestine living arrangements and staying under the radar.
