Merced Sun Star: A surge of undocumented immigrants seeking driver’s licenses has surprised the California Department of Motor Vehicles, pouring in at twice the rate officials expected and underscoring massive interest in the new program.
Just three months after driver’s licenses became available to immigrants living in California illegally, the product of legislation advocates had pursued fruitlessly for years before prevailing and passing Assembly Bill 60 in 2013, 493,998 have sought licenses. The number has surprised officials who spent months bracing for an influx of new customers by hiring staff, opening new DMV offices and extending hours.
“The interest in this program is far greater than anyone anticipated,” DMV Director Jean Shiomoto said in a statement.
Texas and California are leaving the union by defacto nullification. These huge states control their own foreign border, define their own citizenship rules , and selectively nullify federal law. They have a veto on any new taxes under the 400k bracket. The debate is over, we had that debate in California and Texas, the secessionists won, Jerry and Nancy. Rick Perry really doesn't like it (he's a federal socialist), but California is full steam ahead, and Texas has no choice. The smaller states out West are being dragged along. The only thing missing is having our own money, but the Smart Card revolution is solving that.
