DISQUS

Question: "Is this dangerous?"

Answer: Well, yes. Hell yes.

driver's licenses protect you If somebody driving a motor vehicle injures you, would you like that person to have insurance to cover your medical expenses? Would you like them to have some kind of documentation establishing their identity and address? If so, then you are in favor of issuing driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.

Issuing licenses to such drivers makes it easier for them to obtain insurance, lowers auto insurance costs for others, and increases public safety (since to obtain a driver's license, people have to take a course and learn the rules of the road).


It is important to note that the type of driver's license that NY proposed to issue to illegal immigrants (the source of this subject in the Democratic debates) could not have been be used to obtain other types of ID, to open bank accounts, or for any other purpose requiring a federally approved ID. In fact, the NY proposal (which has now been abandoned, thanks to the uninformed uproar arising from the Dem debate question on this subject) was described as "a major step forward for security, both for New York and for the country" -- by Michael Chertoff, the current U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security.

Looks like a pretty cool and interesting device. Very typically of how through internal domestic competition, Japanese companies are compelled to push the envelope.

Shame about the racist idiocy in the thread.
Drawing a negative conclusion about a group of people (specifically a race) through a particular situation = Racism

Rape of Nanking --> Bad --> Japanese bad --> Racism (GuyWhoLivesInGlassHouse)
Invading Iraq --> Torturing prisoners --> Americans bad --> Racism
Japan has social problems --> Japanese bad --> Racism
Killing fish-->Japanese bad-->Racism
(cf. Killing cockroaches-->Humans bad--???)

Pointing out flaws in a society-->Not racism
Pointing out flaws in a society-->Applying those conclusions to all members of that society-->Racism

Being a racist but not being aware of it. Racist idiot.
