Let them get licensed, which requires proof of insurance, and you reduce the likelihood that the next guy who smashes into your car is uninsured. There are many people here who, other than being here, don't have a wish to break laws and would rather have a license and insurance.

It doesn't solve the immigration issue, but it's not meant to. It's designed to address a concrete problem now while working on an immigration solution.
Part of me agrees while part of me disagrees.
Remember-a drivers' license is not a right, it is a privilege.
Also, licenses were a part of "security" even before 9/11.
And one hears of too many people driving "naked" without insurance or just under-insured; either against the law or because it is not mandatory in a given state.
And would all "undocumented immigrants" really want to spend any time with an officer of the law?
