history.

Consequently, they do not have the record of entrance in knowing who, how, and when they enter the United States, so there will be not documentation that can be tracked in this case. Procon.org mentioned that “until we can prove who these people are, we cannot give driver’s licenses because of actual problems that the United States is encountering nowadays.”

Fraud has always been a threat to become part of an identity thief, being difficult to be stopped, and controlled in this society. Anti-immigration groups also agree that obtaining any type of illegal document is considered as a felony that must be punished in this country. According to Roxana Miranda of NBC News, "Even though I am Hispanic, I am against illegal immigration," Miranda said. "Even though a lot of them come to work, there are always bad apples.

Definitely, Immigrants with no identification could be a threat who can easily become a criminal individual with no trace to be found; for the most part, the majority of these illegal immigrants often use aliases that will be a difficult result of establishing a driver’s license process.
According to Homeland Security in its topic of preventing terrorism, “Secure driver's licenses and identification documents are a vital component of a holistic national security strategy. Law enforcement must be able to rely on government-issued identification documents and know that the bearer of such a document is who he or she claims to be.”
In the end, granting driving licenses to large segments of population makes everybody in the community less safe as a result of not having the accurate information of Illegal immigrants identity, giving them the access to commit fraudulent activities and allowing them the chance to break the security levels in this nation. Even so, there are 12 states that allow providing driver licenses to undocumented immigrants, on the other, it will always be a controversial issue for the opposition in this country.
