Letter body: 

Regarding the commentary "Encouraging economic innovation" (Jan. 26):

Laura J. Mazel argues in favor of granting driver cards to immigrants on the basis that they "power innovation," are "Nobel laureates," are "business owners" and are "some of our brightest minds."...

The driver card issue is not about those who enter our country legally but rather about those 12 million people who have crossed our borders illegally, mocking our autonomy, our laws and the very principle of equity upon which our nation is founded....

Promoting lawlessness in any guise is not the solution to our illegal immigration problem; consistently enforcing our laws is.
