      I think it just makes sense to allow them to get by. Driving, paying taxes, having insurance. It’s just better for everyone, instead of trying to battle some “threat”, you gotta go with the flow and maintain stability in what way you can. They are gonna drive anyway. You have to if you want to survive in rural areas.

          At a human level, I would be doing the same as them. I hate the heat. I like clean drinking water, and relative safety. I like surviving.

          I can’t really hold a grudge on people doing what they have evolved to do. To put up boarders is futile, and usually counterproductive. We are all people.

          I’m not political scientist, it just doesn’t sit right with me to deny basic shit over origin. My opinion is largely meaningless, I know.

          But I think we have much bigger problems, and the influx of people from climate torn regions will keep increasing. As a country, we used these places to get a leg up, no wonder people want to come here.

          This is a very juvenile view of the world. You make laws to create the most ideal environment. If someone is here illegally, is it better that they are able to show they can drive, get car insurance, etc or drive without those things and be incentivized to run off if they are in an accident?

            I’d take two billion immigrants over this frothing right-wing nutjob in a heartbeat. The two billion immigrants are far less likely to storm a Wal-Mart with an assault rifle.

          they belong in the country more than you do asshole. Also i must ask, do you enjoy having such lack of critical thought that it allows people to control you with fear and manipulation? aka do you enjoy being a good sheepy doing what your betters tell you to do? feel how they tell you to feel?

      I just saw a Hawaiian news report on this. In their case, they’re limited drivers licenses issued out without proof of ID. They’re only meant for use in Hawaii.
