Taxi drivers work long hours for low pay, so it's no surprise to me that the would be against an enormous wave of competition coming into the country and driving their wages down even further.

He was talking about an Uber driver. Actual taxis must follow rules like be licensed, have full time commercial insurance, have provisions for wheelchair and other disabled, service all areas, plus have regular vehicle inspections and real driver background checks. However, I would not be surprised if illegals were driving for Uber/Lyft.

And it is very difficult to get real ID licences.
Starting Oct. 1, 2020, a REAL ID, Enhanced driver's license or ID or passport will be required for those wanting to board domestic flights or enter federal facilities.
It is easy to get real ID, if you are legal. I did it without any problem

I brought my ss card, my birth certificate, my passport, my boat insurance (live aboard), and a letter from my marina. Nope, would not give me a real id without a utility bill. I made a minor scene and got the dmv supervisor over. "Nope" he said, "you need better proof, like a pg&e bill." Had to order the illegal alien license and will have to use my passport to get on a plane in 2020.
If you don't live in US why do you need California license? They need 2 proof of residence. I used my lease and car registration.

Getting hired by a taxi service doesn't require Real ID, as far as I know. Real ID is a red herring.
As far as additional requirements for taxis...
I have a friend who had polio as a kid. He's in a wheelchair permanently. He, more than anyone else that I know, is super thankful for Lyft and Uber. He says that taxies and public transit, while "required" to deal with handicap issues, are horribly bad at dealing with his basic wheelchair needs. He has had nothing but wonderful experiences with Lyft and Uber. I think this is the difference between government and market economies: government dictate "helpful" things, but private sector has the right incentives to give so much better service that it vastly exceeds the government dictates.
For the Wall for security reasons.
Anti-illegals as he and his family had to wait years to get in.
Hated the constant Anti-Trump attacks. Said it brought down the country.
Understood that Trump talked like a NYC construction worker. Didn’t care.
Loved America and indignant about ungrateful immigrants who attack president or country.
He was a very nice fellow, Arab possibly. Pro-Trump.
