So you figure if people drive cars without licenses, training an insurance we would all be better off?

In this case people are not trying to break a law. They want to meet the legal requirements to drive. They are trying to obey a law. Being a citizen or a legal resident has nothing to do with driving.

Totally different argument. I thought I gave a pretty good analogy. I guess we're just too far apart on how we view this.

Or perhaps there are more than one or two sides of the issue.

Of course there is, and I tried to make that distinction.

Personally, I have known illegal aliens who are good people. In a perfect world, they wouldn't have to worry about being legal residents. There is no easy solution, but I can compartmentalize the handing out of driver's licenses to illegal aliens. I think that it is a mistake to lump all issues related to illegal immigration together. If you do, you can find no common ground to find a solution. Most people want good things for themselves as well as others. It's how we think we get there that's different.

I am not saying anything at all about migration policy.

I am saying I would prefer all drivers are trained, licensed, and insured.
