lining up for licenses.  I just think that while it may be a good idea to try and keep track of people here they aren't going to trust that the government isn't going to use it as a means to round them up.  

I lived here legally for years without an SSN - although I was able to transfer my Ontario license to a Texas one without an SSN but I would have been in a pickle if I had tried to get a license before getting an SSN even if here legally...I suppose.  

I just don't think that people who are here illegally are going to volunteer to be tracked.  They're frightened enough as it is.  

And I'm so sorry about your son and I hope he's feeling better.
