Roca, are you seriously playing the race card? That has been a huge problem with the Obama campaign. Quick reactionaries who scream RACISM! That is far more devisive than what even Republicans do. In case you didn't notice, the Republican media played short clips all day for you all to scream racism before knowing all the facts and you all took that bait. I am black and spanish (Puerto Rican) and I cringe when people careless jump to that argument. You immediately place people who are not racists on the defensive and against you. I also teach in a Latino community, mostly Mexican and Mexican American. Those who were here during the Clinton era, have fond memories of those times.... They remember the right wing as being the attackers, the very right wing that is promoting your candidate....Just a couple of reasons why the Latino vote will go to Hillary!

"If an illegal HITS you in an accident and he/she has NO COVERAGE you are screwed!!!!!!!! That's why an Hispanic like Richardson approved illegals getting driver's licenses in NM - it helpy YOU if you get hit!!! Think about it........most of these posts here are from stupid people who will probably vote for the warmonging McCain (we'll be in iRAQ FOR A 100 YEARS) OR never vote anyway."

EDNH, Get a clue my friend, i was hit last week by an illegal immigrant that had no driver's license. Just to let you know my friend. If you would read up on your INSURANCE you would understand there is something called Undocumented Driver coverage its issued by all insurers to protect its members. This covers you from situations such as your presumed rhetoric. It happened to me and i didnt have to pay a thing. Try reading your insurance instead of spewing venom.

At first I didn't agree with Obama on this issue, but after a little thought, I do. I am firmly against allowing illegal immigrants to flood into our country, they should have to wait behind people legally on lists, but if they are here, driving without a license or insurance guarantees there are more unqualified and uninsured drivers getting in accidents.
Personally, I think not allowing police to arrest illegals, (they are breaking the law by being here) doesn't make sense. It shouldn't just be INS's job.
I'm glad Obama is firm on closing the border to illegals, and really fining employees large amounts for hiring illegals. That is what will really change the picture.
People, please don't choose a candidate on one issue. Look over the big picture. Anything they want to do needs the support of Congress. Remember Obama (and Edwards) wants to end corporate influence on Congress and the presidency. Clinton takes large amounts of corporate dollars so she won't be able to make big changes like he will. Obama is the best choice to get us out of Iraq, to get affordable health insurance, (read his plan on his website under issues)balance our trade deficit, reduce federal debt, etc.

Temporary Driver licences need to be given to all party's coming into the USA for more then 30 days that wish to have drivers priviledges. Entering the USA without documents is illegal. Driving without a license or permission in the USA is against the law. Now, which part of this do we not fully understand.
A person must be identifiable, if not, he/she should be held until that identificaton can be properly determined. An individual found inside the USA without documents need to be deported immediately. If he deserves a chance to prove his status in court, then he will be held accountable for time in prison if it proves to be a lie. If he resists the order of the court; then he should do hard time. Bleeding hearts or not. It is wrong to allow entry without documentation. If false documents are used. Immediate deportation and cost need to be recovered from the Country of origin. Run a tab ... World Court must allow seizing property belonging to that Country and sold for the expenses to be paid. STAND and Be Counted!

Are people not reading, they are not citizens of the USA, when they become a citizen, then they can have citizen rights. Title of our country United States of America, to get a license you should be a citizen of the United not just a State resident in America. At the time of citizenship they can do the legalities to be a good driver, one rule should be to speak English.

In any case, the posts here who represent Obama support, are the best repellents for more Obama support. I felt highly insulted by Obama supporters saying negative things about Hillary's Latino support. Now Obama is kissing up to Latinos and you're all jumping on that bandwagon. Too late!

Would getting a driver license also mean having to purchase insurance? Insurance is equally important to me. I came into this country from Britain, 44 years ago, the old-fashioned way, through Immigration and Naturalization Services and now a US citizen. Would have been much easier if I could have just toddled across the border from Canada!

Divers License for Illegals, Uzis for Felons, Cocaine for Druggies, Let's make it all legal if they'll vote for ya. Democrats will allow anything. In Texas they have enrolled thousands of illegals in voter registration and block requirements to prove you are a citizen. They take oaths to uphold the law of the land. But that is just another lie....

Obama is shamelessly using the issue of giving drivers license to illegal immigrants to gain latino vote.
He wants to reward people who broke this country's law by entering illegally.

giving illegals drivers license is like giving a recurring DWI(driving while intoxicated ) theirs lices to drive. They shouldn't be able to get them till they can prove they are legal citizens of the United States of America. Beign republican or democrate has nothing to do with it. I won't vote for Obama I am voting for Hillary at least I havent felt insulted by her.

I don't know about the rest of you living in places when there is a large immigrant population but in Miami they are driving without licenses and are causing hit and runs daily. Maybe if we have them get licenses, we can save a few American lives! Go Obama 08!!

I am a Canadian citizen, and in our country, driving licence is not equal to citizenship. Whether you are a citizen, a permanent resident, a refugee claimant or whatsoever, you get your driving licence after passing the required road tests, and this driving licence is issued for public safety for all on roads and protection from potential accidents endangering people's life and property,that is why all drivers need their driving licences to get the proper and mandatory car insurance.
Therefore , it would be idiot to think that issuing drivers licences to undocumented aliens is equivalent to giving them citizenship or recognizing their illegal situations in a country.

Thanks for understanding.

Another issue of the issueance, I believe but I'm not an attorney, there is such a thing as an international drivers license how about if the immigrants investigate this instead of our governments. It is great they want to join the USA but I am out a job. We have bigger fish to fry. The name/background of this candidate should concern this country. Sure he's probably nice but where the Homeland Se curity?

Giving driver's licenses to illegal aliens for votes, and I am sure if Obama needed votes from certain other illegal aliens who wanted pilot licenses he'd give them too to get elected!

It is incredible how gullible people are showing themselves in falling for this guy!

No one really knows his experience or lack thereof, yet they want him to run the country!

No one knows his track record, yet they want him to run the country!

No one knows his ties or the extent thereof his links to people through his bagman Rezko, yet they want him to run the country!

Some people defiantly place feel good speeches over researching who will have control over the lives of 300+ million people!

People want to elect a man who has extreme knowledge in Constitutional Law of the US and if you check into some of his exploits thus far, his shady deals and dirty money are all barely within the limits of the law! This is what he is an expert in doing!

This man's links visa vie his bagman money and political fixer Rezko, who's close friend is Mr. Auchi, an Iraqi Billionaire who has had ties to the Baath Party since the '50s, made millions brokering weapons to Iraq in the '90s and as well as being the largest shareholder of a bank that held personal accounts for Saddam!

Yet people believe a guy who simply says "I don't know my chief financers connections, isn't good enough for a rational thinking person!

Yet people want and trust this person to hold the highest office in the land not knowing whom this person is, aside from some feel good speeches!

Wake up America and look at the people behind the figure out there making you feel good with speeches! It is ridiculous that no one to date has demanded solid answers from this man that is ridiculous to say the least! Demand full and accurate transparency not poor rhetoric!

Be careful of what you wish for, and whom you chose to have the finger on the trigger of the most deadly arsenal weapons in the world!

Roca & Michelinphilly,

You have undercut Obama's credibility as a candidate of change and hope. Listen to yourselves. By hurling insults at the non Obama supporters, you have made a case to vote for anyone else but him. Real smart!

I love it when these neocons resort to lying about Obama's religion. They either get their information from emails forwarded about "Obama is a Muslim" which is patently false. They never look at their own side. Bush, the guy who Jesus told to invade Iraq. McCain - a 71 year old Bush clone who has said publicly that he will keep us in Iraq for "100 years." And Romney who was being touted as a great money manager and who has thrown away $35,000,000 of his own money on a failed campaign. This gives us an idea of how he would spend OUR money. As far as religion goes, it is seperate from government as the Constitution (or what's left of it after Bush) and makes no part of this election. If you want to argue invisible entities, ask Jesus and Muhammad to duke it out amongst themselves. Obama/Clinton or Clinton/Obama. That's the way it's gonna be whether the neo cons like it or not. Thank Mr. Bush.

This is exactly why I will not vote for Obama or Hilary. They both want to grant amnesty to the illegals. If either of them win America as we know it is doomed.

It is disappointed to hear that some Latinos support Hillary Clinton. Look at the 1996 immigration law her husband passed, which pushed for more enforcement. As a Latina, I want a President that will fight for the rights of citizens and non-citizens in America. We don't need someone who will only use our people to win. Do your research on Hillary and you will find a lot about her, including her stance on driver licenses for the undocumented which she is against.

Get a glimpse on what Hillary said… "Anybody who committed a crime in this country or in the country they came from has to be deported immediately, with no legal process. They are immediately gone," Mrs. Clinton told a town hall meeting in Anderson, S.C., Thursday. On Wednesday, she told a crowd in North Bergen, N.J., that such criminals "absolutely" need to be deported. A day earlier, she told a rally in Salinas, Calif., that aliens with criminal records "should be deported, no questions asked."...

"No legal process," the New York senator said at a forum in Tipton, Iowa, according to a political news outlet, the Politico. "You put them on a plane to wherever they came from."

I support Obama because I truly believe he will bring about CHANGE, and is a respected organizer

Hillary has laid out an actual plan. She is not throwing out little perks day by day to get any votes from any groups. Of course not everyone will be happy, but the course of reforming immigration needs to be humane and fair. Latinos know that Hillary will seek that path over any other.

If someone can confirm since Barama has not re: his background, instead of attacking and leaving some republican candidates out of the race than let us have it! Turning and diverting an issue onto another just makes you feel better about your choice, not state the facts. So Eric, will be checking back for the facts. In the meantime, don't forget Huckabee/Paul, they give hope.
