That’s like saying, don’t arrest a fugitive (say he’s wanted for grand theft) when he applies for a hunting license because a hunting license is a license to hunt, not a license to commit grand theft. He’s standing right there. He’s wanted for a crime. Arrest him.

Better to control driving than to have a large % of people driving around without a license.

Why? What does having a license do?

Also, local police deporting illegals on sight doesn’t necessarily serve law enforcement purposes.

Local police wouldn’t deport them. ICE would. It’s a phone call, and it seems to me that would be easier than chasing them through the desert. ‘Course they wouldn’t show up at the DMV if that were the case.

If illegals know that they’ll be auto deported, they will avoid the police, thus hindering investigation into more severe, more violent crimes.[/quote]

What? How will avoiding going to the DMV hinder investigation into violent crimes?
