Clinton Decides to be Against Driver's Licenses for Illegal Immigrants
In what seems to be an attempt to remove the issue of illegal immigration off the table, Senator Clinton has issued a statement saying that "As president, I will not support driver’s licenses for undocumented people and will press for comprehensive immigration reform that deals with all of the issues around illegal immigration, including border security and fixing our broken system.” I'm sure it is not a coincidence that this statement comes the day before Clinton engages in a debate tomorrow night. Her opponents have more than likely no forgotten her unclear position on this issue in the last debate, and are unlikely to go easy on Senator Clinton this time. Senator Clinton's statement on Immigration relates closer to Republican views than Democrat, which makes it seem as if Clinton is focusing on the general election more than the Democratic Primaries.

She might feel that she has already won the primaries, and that she is now getting a head start on the general election.
Maybe Clinton is focusing on the bigger picture instead of the election in pieces. Instead of taking things slow throughout the whole election it sounds like she's taking it all at once.
I think Clinton's decision is fair. To be honest, I didn't even realize that illegal immigrants were being granted legal drivers licenses.
