California Plans To Issue 1.4 Million Driver’s Licenses To Illegal Immigrants
FOX 40 in California
California Division of Motor Vehicles is preparing for roughly 1.4 million new driver’s license applicants after Jan. 1.
That’s when Assembly Bill 60, or the Safe and Responsible Drivers Act, goes into effect.
FOX40 spoke with a Maria Rodriguez, an undocumented immigrant living in West Sacramento who plans to apply for a license under the new law.
“It’s the best thing that could have happened to us in California. We’ve been waiting for it for many, many years,” Rodriguez said.
To prepare for all of the new applicants, the Department of Motor Vehicles has hired about 900 new employees and opened several temporary offices across the state.
The DMV is encouraging all eligible applicants to start preparing for their drivers tests early.
When Nevada adopted a similar law, about 90 percent of undocumented immigrants failed the written exam.
Wild Thing’s comment…….
Too many politicians have zero respect for our laws.
