You are an immigrant; Do you have a driver's license?
I can explain this. It sounds odd but they need to have a driver's license. If we do not give them a driver's license, they drive illegally - meaning no car insurance. It's very simple to say "well if they are here illegally then they can't drive" but they do drive, and if they cannot have a DL and without a DL they cannot get insurance. The end result is we have over ten million people driving cars without car insurance which is clearly unacceptable.
Years ago I witnessed a hit and run, and I took off after the car that left. I followed them all through town until the police caught up with us. It turns out they were all here illegally, and they couldn't stay for the police because they would be arrested.
We cannot have people driving them around without insurance. The cost of insurance here in border states is huge because there are so many people here illegally.
