This was actually necessary. I used to live in L.A. and every night on the news, some asshole would run over a pedestrian and not stop to render aid. For whatever reasons I don't want to speculate on, DUI among Latino people is super high already, and coupled with no licensing, it led to tons of hit-and-runs.

So the state, since they only had the power to license people, and the feds are the ones responsible for enforcing immigration law, did what they could, and allowed illegal immigrants to get licenses. Now with licenses they could get insurance, and not worry about having their cars towed if they had a broken taillight.

Overall it was not a bad idea, but it highlighted how bad the feds let the immigration issue get.

He got his point across well. California's government is remarkably useless.

Are you telling me that an illegal, drunk and has just hit a pedestrian is Not going to skip Because they have a license? Because I find that unlikely.

I don't have any statistics. But it would make sense that things got better.

Its easier to locate them if they have a DMV issued ID in such an event. The DMV began issuing the licenses to cut down on rampant ID theft.
