The US doesn't do that either.
The following jurisdictions have enacted laws allowing unauthorized immigrants to obtain driver's licenses:
- California
- Colorado
- Connecticut
- Delaware
- Hawaii
- Illinois
- Maryland
- Massachusetts
- Minnesota
- Nevada
- New Jersey
- New Mexico
- New York
- Oregon
- Rhode Island
- Utah
- Vermont
- Virginia
- Washington
- District of Columbia
- Documentation: Applicants typically must provide a foreign passport, foreign birth certificate, or a consular identification document, along with proof of residency within that state.
- Limitations: These licenses cannot be used for federal identification purposes, such as boarding domestic flights or entering federal buildings.
- Driving Privilege Cards: Some states, like Utah and Virginia, issue "driving privilege cards" that are not considered standard driver's licenses but allow legal driving.
- Safety Rationale: Proponents argue that allowing all residents to obtain licenses ensures that drivers are tested, insured, and trained, which increases overall road safety.

You got him on the pedantry. Where do you stand on the DL issue?At a national level, no (obvi). At a state level?
He knows that.
Sure I do. That's why I responded like I did, since you evidently didn't.
The reasoning for why you would do it make some sense to me. You could also argue you are identifying people you could later deport if you want to much easier as long as you note they are not a US citizen on the license.

Wouldn't "not for federal use" indicate that?
Do felons get that ID as well? I genuinely don't know.

Honestly, I feel like making sure undocumented immigrants have driver's licenses is potentially useful, since presumably they'd have to demonstrate some sort of competence in a driving test, but I don't think it's nearly as important as making sure undocumented drivers can and do still get proper insurance.
Also, to answer the OP, Gemini says Spain explicitly provides a process that allows undocumented immigrants to gain driving privileges, but the vast majority of jurisdictions generally don't allow it, other than in exceptional cases.
