Look at it this way - undocumented residents who need to drive to work, school, etc. will do so whether they can get licensed or not. If we enable them to get a license, at least some of them will choose the legal option, which will 1) ensure they can pass a driving test (demonstrating basic skills, knowledge of local driving laws, some level of confidence behind the wheel) and 2) enable them to get insurance so if they do get into an accident there will be coverage to protect them and others involved (if they were at fault). Not to mention basic human decency, to allow people who are already here and maybe have been for years to have a legal option to transport themselves and their kids. I don't care if the state makes a few bucks off the licensing fees, it's worth it for the other benefits.
