So am I, as long as the DMV is allowed to pass that information (that the person is in the country illegally) to the proper authorities so that person can be detained and returned to their country.

That defeats the purpose. Then illegals will not get a license and will drive without one. So what have you accomplished?

Driver's licenses are primarily proof that someone is capable of driving. Secondarily they are used as "proof of identity" of course. Neither of these is remotely related to one's immigration status.
