Illegal immigrants drive on the highways of California without a license and without insurance now. A license insures that they have driving skills and it makes it possible for them to have insurance. Although many will not apply, the action will make the highways safer. The higher the percentage of trained drivers with insurance on the roads, the better.Putting license drivers on the road who passed a driving test and proved they understand the rules of the road trumps efforts to punish illegal immigrants. It's not the states job to deal with illegal immigrants. It is their job to see that drivers are adequately trained before hitting the road. Considering the number of illegal immigrants on road in California, this is a good decision.Being issued a DL is indeed a privlege, not a right. With that said, it is puzzling why the state would reward those with a privlege granted by law. It took an arguably unlawful order to provide a path to obtain the privlege, even though those who will receive it, have no regard for our laws in the fist place.
What a jacked up deal

Historic day as immigrants in U.S. illegally begin getting driver's licenses
After three decades of debate and controversy, immigrants in the country illegally began the process of receiving California driver's licenses.
Friday was the first day the licenses were available. Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation last year allowing such immigrants to get them.
By late in the afternoon, at least 11,000 people had applied for the special licenses.
By 7:30 Friday morning, the line outside the Granada Hills Department of Motor Vehicles office wrapped around the plaza. People held clipboards with DMV license applications. Some were wrapped in blankets to keep themselves warm in the chilly morning.
Pedro Soriano, 38, was first in line, arriving more than 12 hours earlier after driving with his wife from South Los Angeles.

AS PREDICTED, ILLEGALS FORM LONG LINES FOR CALIFORNIA DRIVER’S LICENSES
California hires 900 DMV workers to meet demand
California, which has the largest population of illegal aliens in the country, is now one of 10 states where illegals can apply for driver’s licenses, and the number of driver’s license applicants more than doubled once illegals were allowed to apply.
California’s legislature approved licenses for illegals back in Sept. 2013 when it passed Assembly Bill 60, which requires “the DMV to issue an original driver’s license to a person who is unable to submit satisfactory proof that the applicant’s presence in the United States is authorized under federal law” if they meet “all other qualifications” set by the state.
