And how is that lawsuit in the best interest of public employee union members?

"...denying them inflicts unnecessary pain on everyone their lives touch,” said Lee Saunders, AFSCME president.

Oh, please. Just stop.

I hope the unions fail in this lawsuit. I know too many people who have had tragedy strike their family because an illegal got behind the wheel of a car and ran someone down and killed them. A good friend of mine lost his 37 year old son to an illegal who was driving drunk in a borrowed pickup truck, crossed and killed this young man on the way to work. The drunken illegal walked away without a scratch. The young man left a wife and two year old son, plus his mom, dad, and sister to mourn him. There were extended family and friends also, but the point is this guy had no driver's license of any kind. He'd never driven in whatever South or Central American country he came from. Most illegals can't even speak English, how on earth do you expect them to drive in this country?

There was a woman in Ohio whose mom went to watch her two grandsons play basketball. The boys were 7th and 8th grade and the middle school was four blocks from Grandma's house. It was a Saturday after noon game. Grandma refused a ride home because she needed to stretch her legs after sitting so long. She'd see them at dinner. The were heading to dinner a couple hours later and half a block from Grandma's there were police cars and an ambulance. They had tried to save Grandma, She'd walked two blocks back to a little store to get something she needed for dinner. An illegal with no license to drive came racing around the corner and didn't turn correctly. He ran right up onto the sidewalk and slammed into Grandma. They tried but couldn't save her. She went for a cake she'd ordered before the games started. She had intended to get it on the way home and was enjoying the nice day and forgot. She turned around and went back. It was on her way home she was hit from behind. Neighbors detained the man who hit her. Again driving a car he had no idea how to drive.

They need to be here and take driver's training and do all the driving a 16 yr old has to do to get a license. Then he has to get in a car with a police officer and demonstrate he knows what he is doing. Before he ever takes the test.
