Did Jesus drive?

Illegal immigrants in New Mexico are protesting the legislature's consideration of repealing the law that allows illegals to get drivers licenses. A group of them recently gathered outside Governor Martinez's office chanting, "Jesus was an immigrant." (I wonder where ICE was while this protest was in progress). 

I'm not sure in what sense they mean Jesus was an immigrant. His mother and earthly father were from Nazareth, and that's where He grew up. Maybe they mean He came from heaven. At any rate, He wasn't illegal. And as Mr. Essie May points out, "He didn't have a drivers license, either."

"New Mexico may restrict licenses." The Dallas Morning News; September 7, 2011; p. 3A.
