DUTTON:

What benefits will there be, giving licenses to illegal aliens?

REYES:

There’s a lot of benefits. One of them is, obviously, the public safety issue. I mean, that, in itself, is a huge issue. You know, like it was said earlier, 10 percent of the folks that are driving out on the roads don’t have insurance. They don’t have driver’s licenses. So that’s one of the main issues. Public safety. The other issue is insurance, itself. I’m not an economist, but I can tell you. Economy is scaled. More people are out on the road; more insurance. Premiums going down. So there’s huge economic benefits. More people on the road, obviously there’s a lot of folks are working, people that could be driving out on the road, I mean, there’s a geometric expansion of benefits from that, alone.
