Burning Atlanta

This is a very simple matter with a very simple solution. You shouldn't drive without a license. And if you're an illegal there's no reason for you to drive here, at all. You should be DEPORTED.

No Way, Jose

RALEIGH - Latino advocates say they'll start lobbying N.C. legislators for driver's licenses, in-state tuition and wage enforcement for those who are undocumented, likely heating up the illegal immigration debate.

It's the first time advocacy groups across the state have created one agenda, which was released Tuesday by El Pueblo, a Raleigh-based nonprofit.

The agency's top priority is to push for a special driver's license for illegal immigrants. Several states already use such an alternative.

After North Carolina started requiring a valid Social Security number or a valid visa to obtain a driver's license, many illegal immigrants chose to drive without one because they still have to work and take their children to school, said Zulayka Santiago, El Pueblo's executive director.

"When you have drivers on the roads not fully informed of our traffic laws, that puts all our communities in danger," she said.

LEAVE. Don't stay and complain about how you're sooo concerned about public safety. Get Out.

El Pueblo's legislative priorities include:

• Lobby for creation of a special driver's license for illegal immigrants.

• Create a program to certify educated immigrants, using their foreign job credentials, so they can work in their field.

• Ensure all N.C. students have access to a higher education, including receiving in-state tuition.

• Enforce safe migrant farmworker conditions to prevent such things as pesticide poisonings.

Get the hell out.  If you're here illegally, you need to go and I don't care if you're from Mexico or Ireland. But I will add this: One of the few things lower than these people that show a total contempt for this country and our laws is a slime that cheats and steals from them. Just because they're criminals doesn't give you the right to take advantage of them.
