California
issued more than a half-million driver’s licenses under a new law
granting the identifying documents to immigrants who may be in the
country illegally.
The
Department of Motor Vehicles announced Wednesday that 605,000 licenses
were issued since AB60 took effect last January. That’s out of 830,000
applications.
AB60
allows people who can’t prove they’re in the country legally to obtain
driver’s licenses using identification from their home countries.
They also must prove California residency and pass written and driving tests.
Supporters
pushed for the law as a safety measure, arguing that many immigrants
already get behind the wheel but lack the training and testing required
of other drivers
and may not carry insurance.
