Illegal immigrants should not participate in elections

First, let me say that I am a woman, married and using my husband's surname. I have been a voting citizen since I was 18 years old, first using the name on my birth certificate and then, after getting married, I got a new driver's license with my new surname. No problem.

My question is how "stupid" do some think married women are that we can't figure out how to get a valid driver's license or identification? Folks say "every American citizen" has one precious vote. True — every American citizen. Illegal immigrants are not American citizens. What other country allows non-legal citizens to vote?
