Yes, Congress gets to set immigration policy... but that doesn't mean they have exclusive authority in the area of who gets drivers licenses. Constitutionally, this is more of a state-level licensing issue and less of an immigration issue.
(Also, you should probably be aware that you just made an argument against state-level immigration crackdowns like those in Arizona, Georgia, Alabama, etc.)

I'm guessing that you support this and that was what I was asking. Yes, those states that you listed are doing the same thing. However, they are making laws that are in line with not give rights to invading illegal aliens, which is in line with their interpretation of Article IV, Section 4 of the constitution.

For the record, I support what you're saying. I'm more familiar with illegals than just about anybody on this board. I think people's issue on here is why license them if they are illegal? Why not deport them instead? (or allow them to become legal TAX PAYING residents)

Wow. Good God people, I don't even see how there could possibly be a debate over this bill.
The primary purpose of the new law is to document all the drivers in the state. By issuing licenses, the state is setting in motion the process for illegal immigrants to get car insurance, thus greatly reducing the number of uninsured drivers. In addition, it's making the roads safer by ensuring that a greater number of people will actually have passed basic driving tests to obtain their licenses.
Anyone who has ever been in an accident with an uninsured/underinsured driver should be applauding this bill.
Oh, and BTW - half of the Republicans in the Illinois senate voted for this. Before people go all paranoid, this was actually bipartisan - the Democrats aren't trying to pull some stunt here.

I'm perfectly fine with you not supporting this law. But don't go nuts and start warping a rarely-invoked clause of the constitution that doesn't really say what you're claiming it says. Just because you dislike something, doesn't make it unconstitutional. That's all, man.

This makes some sense. Now if an illegal alien gets in a car accident, he won't flee the scene and leave you with a huge bill to pay and a ridiculous amount of insurance problems.
I had a friend get his car t-boned (and totaled) by a guy who fled the scene, presumably because he was illegal. Cost him $9,000 to get a new car, and he got a crappier model.
