I am. frankly. deeply concerned. that if there is another attack on U.S. soil and we find that the terrorist was here illegally. if the terrorist was able to obtain a license. if the terrorist was able to move freely about the country. was able to open a bank account. all without the slightest bit of resistance. we are going to have to take a long look in the mirror and ask how we could let it happen. We shouldnt let it happen. It belies common sense to have a policy of States to issue drivers licenses to illegal immigrants. It makes it difficult to maintain the commitment we have to the American people. that we are committed to enforcing the rule of law. It makes it difficult for us who want to move forward on comprehensive immigration reform if we get to that point.
