LA Police Chief Charlie Beck said he supports giving driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants in California to improve roadway safety. "I think it's important that the state look at licensing undocumented immigrants," Beck said during a media availability on Thursday. "It's a public safety issue. People that are licensed are more likely to have insurance, more likely to report accidents, more likely to have vehicles that are registered to them." Beck said the state has failed to reduce the number of illegal immigrants driving without a license.

If one views driving (travel) as a right and not a govt granted 'privilege' there is no problem with anyone driving regardless. It would be interesting to take a poll on this here to gauge what the majority of posters think.

While I am not if favor of granting illegals licenses (I am in favor of deporting them) I come down in favor of requiring licensing as a public safety measure. As long as the government does not abuse the licensing procedure to fulfill an agenda hidden and separate from insuring that drivers meet a minimum standard of proven competency it is a safety measure which benefits all drivers as a group. I understand the arguments against licensing but the roads are a public commons and I see nothing that conflicts with my generally libertarian views in requiring a license - regardless of whatever you name it. I think most of the objections to competency testing seems to revolve around the use of the word license to describe it. However, the function of requiring a driver to have at least met a minimum standard of knowledge and competence is not something I regard as infringing upon individual liberty. Absolutes are unobtainable in the real world and so I want to shy away from absolutism simply for the sake of trying to impose an abstract philosophically absolutist principle upon others.

Come on, OI...

The ONLY reason the goob exists these days IS in order to fulfill an agenda. In this can-o-worms case, the results would be catastrophic.

While I agree that you do have a point I still stand behind my reasoning. One of the legitimate functions of government is to protect the rights, and liberties of all. Having educated drivers on the road is a legitimate function.

Although it could be done privately as well by having certified programs that are autonomous but recognized as valid - kind of an Underwriters Laboratory for driving.

While I understand your point (I saw TWO vehicular accidents last week - BOTH involved what appeared to be Mexicans [in the state of NJ]) - the rights and liberties of citizens are violated in the FIRST place by what are unauthorized invaders.

No argument whatsoever.
