As I commented earlier, I think there are strong reasons to allow residents to get drivers licenses without making DMV figure out their immigration status. Say, issues of insurance, driver competence, and the fact DMV clerks are probably not good judges of complicated visa issues. (There are circumstances in which a legal Canadian tourist who DOESN’T need a visa WOULD need a drivers license!) I find it interesting that the bill as passed is seen as a favor to illegal aliens not only by its opponents, which would be a smear, but also by its PROponents. I think the proponents would have done better to defend the bill on grounds unrelated to illegal immigration; now it looks like pandering.
