CA giving driver’s licenses to illegals

legalinsurrection.com In a move to “make lives easier,” California has initiated a driver’s license program for immigrants who are in the country illegally. The program went into effect today, and has doubled the number of applications for licenses submitted to the state. From the AP:

California has begun accepting driver’s license applications from immigrants who are in the country illegally. Despite near-freezing temperatures, hundreds of immigrants lined up as early as 2 a.m. Friday at a temporary Department of Motor Vehicles office in the city of Stanton to begin the process of obtaining licenses. The DMV expects 1.4 million people will seek a license in the first three years of a program aimed at boosting road safety and making immigrants’ lives easier. Some applicants may receive licenses Friday if they previously had one. First-time applicants will receive permits if they pass a written test. They will have to return for a driving test at a later date.

This move reverses previous state policy which required “proof of legal presence” in the state of California before an applicant could successfully obtain a driver’s license. to read more: legalinsurrection.com
