Which do you prefer, drivers who are licensed or drivers who are unlicensed? I prefer drivers who are licensed.
They prefer to live in Willy Wonka's CandyLand where they can pretend that the only undocumented immigrants are Oompa Loompas.
Meanwhile, the rest of us in reality-based world want undocumented immigrants to have a license, insurance, and registration so they can be found if they hit my car. And also so they pay their taxes.

You don't seem to understand why they don't get them. It's not because they don't want to. It's because they can't. It's actually safer for them as well to have a valid DL because if they get pulled over while driving, and they can't produce a valid DL, they can get into more trouble.
Also, if they aren't going to get the DL as you seem to think, then what's the harm if they are allowed to get them? Do you think allowing them to get the license makes it easier for them to stay? Well, maybe.. but even if they don't get it, they don't seem to be going anywhere.
Also, it's a lot safer for the public.

Unfortunately, in the era of Trump, many don't want to renew their license for fear it will be used to deport them.

Does it really matter though if they don't have insurance?
Why would they not have insurance if they get a license? If they are going to bother to get the license they are most likely going to be following rules which means being insured.
