There has been a feud where people feel that undocumented immigrants who have been born illegally into the U.S shouldn’t be able to live there, nonetheless, be able to drive legally. Although, I do understand why some people wouldn’t want illegal immigrants to drive legally because it can cause problems, such as bringing other illegal immigrants to the U.S, but I disagree with this. As one of the number one reasons why illegal immigrants come to the U.S is so they could live a better live for themselves and for their family.
