It depends on whether you believe that those in the country illegally should be entitled to rights previously granted only to legal citizens.

They both are. Driver's licenses are left up to the individual states to issue. It's not a federal driver's license, yet.

There is no right or wrong here. I think they should be eligible for driver's license. This is about safety, not about benefits. The same with IDs. I do not see they they will benefit getting an ID.

Drivers licenses are a state matter and each state sets their own eligibility requirements.
