Illegal Immigrants allowed to have Driver's License



Level: State

Concerning: An “enacted” policy that has been passed to help with a problem/issue that individuals/families face

Category: Immigration/State Law

This affects families and individuals because it changes who will be on the roadways in California and across the United States

 

My Views: I think that this law is ridiculous. I can’t seem to wrap my head around why government officials will knowingly allow illegal immigrants to be set free on the roadways. Immigration is a touchy subject but isn’t the government trying to stop illegal immigrants from coming into the United States and sending them back to their native country if they are caught? They are of course working in the United States illegally and their employers are breaking the law if they are employing them also, so why would they pass a law allowing them to have driver’s licenses?  Does the passing of this bill mean that if they immigrant were to get pulled over they won’t be able to get arrested for the fact that they are living here illegally? It just doesn’t make sense to me at all. It is of course good for the immigrants to better make a living for their families but I feel like the law goes against everything that they are working towards on the border. The word illegal is even in the terminology for the individuals so why the government would allow them to have a drivers license bewilders me.
