Thread: Gov. Moonbeam Can Give Illegals Licenses, But Can’t Make Them Pass the Test

February 10, 2015 by Daniel Greenfield

Clearly the test is biased. It needs to focus less on negatives like who they aren’t allowed to run over and focus more on social justice and road redistribution.

Many illegal immigrants at a Northern California DMV reportedly were failing the written exam when applying for driver’s licenses on Friday.

Under the AB 60 law that Governor Jerry Brown (D) signed in 2013 and took effect at the start of 2015, illegal immigrants were able to apply for driver’s licenses on Friday. …

At a DMV in south Sacramento, Veronica Oropeza, a 28-year-old illegal immigrant who has reportedly been driving without a license for six years, reportedly failed her written exam twice.

“Nobody’s passing,” she told the Sacramento Bee in Spanish.

Apparently, surprisingly, people who don’t follow the law when it comes to crossing the border, don’t follow the law when driving either.

Why should they? They know that they will be accommodated. That’s how amnesty happened.

Just call them Undocumented Drivers. Exempt them from the test. And then get some CATO types to sell it to conservatives by explaining how driver’s licenses are state power and we ought to welcome free market competition from drunk drivers from other countries.

California Issues 76K Drivers Licenses To Undocumented Immigrants

By Aaron Morrison @aaronlmorrison on February 11 2015 10:59 AM

The California Department of Motor Vehicles said it has issued 76,000 driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants since a new state law extending legal driving privileges took effect in January, according to a report by a TV station in the state’s capitol. California, which has one of the nation’s largest populations of undocumented immigrants at 2.6 million, became the 10th state to allow formerly undocumented immigrants to drive legally. The KCRA-TV report said more than 452,000 undocumented immigrants had applied for a license in January. The numbers reflect ongoing efforts by some federal and state officials to push people who came into the country illegally out of the shadows without the threat of deportation.

Immigration advocates have lobbied for licenses and other forms of identification for immigrants for years. California’s DMV had estimated 1.4 million undocumented immigrants would apply for a license over three years, the Sacramento Bee reported. During the month of January, 366,000 people visited DMV offices and 415,000 written or road driving tests were administered, according to the Bee’s report.

“We don’t really have anything to compare it to,” said California DMV spokesman Jaime Garza.

More recently, the popularity of a program extending identification cards to New York City undocumented immigrants vastly exceeded officials’ expectations. On Monday, NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio said more than a quarter-million New Yorkers had made appointments to sign up for IDNYC, a card that gives residents access to basic services and is valid for interactions with police.

New York City's program is similar to nearly a dozen programs in other U.S. cities, including San Francisco, which has the largest program; as well as Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and New Haven, Connecticut. Other states granting driver's licenses include Colorado, Illinois, Maryland, New Mexico and Utah.

Critics have blasted the ID and driving laws for undocumented immigrants as a reward for flouting immigration laws.

President Barack Obama last year offered to defer deportation actions and offer work permits to an estimated five million undocumented immigrants if they registered with the government. The policy goes into effect on Feb. 18. Republican leaders in more than half the U.S. states sued the Obama administration to stop the president’s executive actions on immigration. A federal judge in Texas was expected to issue a ruling soon.

Well, 76,000 licenses issued out of 415,000 written and road driving tests is not a very high percentage of qualified applicants passing the tests and receiving a license. That seems to give credence and basis to the frontpage claim, whether it was tongue in check, humor or satire, it made the point that these people don't know how to drive in the US.

What they mainly do is undercut Americans for jobs, keep unemployment up - the real unemployment, including people who've given up or are involuntarily working part time, not the make believe number that usually gets published - and keep wages stagnant. Stagnant wages tell us that employers know that there is a large pool of available labor.

But heck, if we think about those things, we'd suspect that concentrated media ownership and a political apparatus which is skilled at making itself look good, are the most important aspects of the published figures.

Whether satire or real, that is why I put this in General Discussion instead of our News forum.

Whereas the article is tongue -in-cheek. The site is not a satire site. Now, the Onion is, in my opinion satire.
