Rig--

You've made this allegation more than once about Hispanics themselves being against drivers licenses for illegal immigrants--primarily Hispanic.

Would it be too much to ask you to actually think before saying it again?

1)   In the US it's often difficult to get around without a car. Hispanics who work would likely want a car. About 12 million are now illegal immigrants. Somehow it's unlikely that legal Hispanics would not sympathize with many other-- illegal-- Hispanics--(some who've been here for years)--and believe they should get drivers licenses.

Your theory about this seems to have as much credibility as your allegation that "most of the people I work with" believe all sorts of rumors about Obama--that he's just waiting to declare himself a Moslem, for instance.

It's amazing how this rumor, for instance seems to have only your fingerprints on it.

So it would be good if you could come up with some actual evidence that Hispanics themselves are against drivers licenses for illegal immigrants. Please don't forget to give the exact source--and date--for your evidence. Thanks so much


2) Then there's the little matter of logic. If I were hit by another car, I'd actually prefer that the driver be insured--which is strongly promoted by having a drivers license. Interesting to know you're fine with being hit by an uninsured driver.

It's patently absurd to believe that if you do not issue drivers licenses to illegal immigrants, they will not drive.

Perhaps you'd like to actually start using logic on this issue. I know it's not against your religion, since you're not religious. So there must be some other reason for your prejudice against logic.

Please enlighten us as to what it is.
