Make them demonstrate they understand the signs, the rules of the road, basic driving skillsIt makes sense to make the lives of illegals more comfortable? That makes zero sense to me.
I'm more comfortable when I know those leaving the second shift at the processing plants know the rules of the road.
Let me tell you, I'm a retired truck driver. The worst drivers we have on the road are foreigners. They can't read English, and are swerving all over the highway in a 75,000 lbs vehicle to be in the proper exit lane because they can't read our road signs.
No, giving them a license is the worst thing we could do. Because if they are driving without a license and get caught, they go to jail, have their vehicle towed, and likely won't have the money for bail.
This isn't a New York thing, it's a country thing. Because those NY licensed drivers could drive in any state in this country. I don't want them around me. I want them busted, and sent back to their country. And I want to make their life here a living hell, not a comfortable one.
Allowing illegals to obtain drivers licenses does that
Wait a minute: How is it that people are getting CDL's to drive in this country without even knowing the language, and you're going to claim more stringent requirements to get a simple passenger car license? That doesn't even make sense.
You saying they are does not mean they actually are.
WTF you talking about? I've seen it with my own eyes. I've had them approach me asking to back in their trailer for them. They come here with whatever CDL version they have in their country, and we grant them reciprocity without question. I've had to stand behind them in line at the shipping window watching the girl struggle to give them instructions on what to do. In a few cases, I had to go outside and explain in hand language what they needed to do.
I know for a fact some of these foreign tractor-trailer drivers do not know the language, and certainly never passed a CDL test in this country.
