In California insurance is required for the vehicle not for the driver's license. What's going to happen here is a whole lot of folks are going to take their new licenses jump in uninsured cars and head off down the highway. They are bragging about how many years they drove illegally without a license why would they worry about driving illegally without very expensive insurance?

I guess by “Mexican immigrant” they mean illegal alien invader.

And not a single class action lawsuit based on the equal protection laws will be filed.

So now they can only be charged with no insurance (for starters).

Do these CA drivers licenses issued to illegal immigrants have a prominent indicator that they are non-legal residents? I ask as a state driver’s license is accepted as ID for many transactions, financial, rentals, voting, etc. The fact an illegal has few ties to our US, already is a law breaker and may abscond should be indicated to those on the other side of the transaction.

Other States should simply refuse to grant reciprocity to California-licensed drivers.

We are essentially a non-country at this point.....30 million invaders are running wild along with a government that keeps putting the wood to the few of us who are still actually working to pay for the coming collapse.

More votes for Hillary (or Elizabeth Warren). That’s the REAL agenda here.

That is correct. I had only one accident here and it was the other drivers fault. The CHP arrived and investigated and you will not believe this. The officer said I would be better off just claiming 50/50. Driver had no license and no insurance. I bet he was illegal also since no English and that was it. What in the hell was I supposed to do. Suck it up. California is so f---ed up it will never recover.

It's unprecedented, isn't it?

The citizenry has to comply with the letter of the law, but millions of foreign nationals are simply given carte blanche?

This is an Amnesty. All of them admit they've been driving illegally for years. Did they have to plead guilty to that? Allocute to the crime as a condition of receiving the license?

No. And they will still be in the country illegally as they walk out the door. And no one with a uniform and a badge will do anything about that.

Imagine pulling the same stunt yourself.

Now that he’s got a license, he ain’t “undocumented” anymore. Does that mean it’s okay to call him an illegal again?

Other states should require that all CALIFORNIA drivers provide proof that they have personal liability insurance re driving any car or motorcycle before they are allowed in the state. Otherwise, they should be put on a “banned” vehicle and banned “driver” list with severe penalties for any violations of those laws.

I’m wondering, with CA motor voter law, are these folks automatically registered to vote as well, and was that the real point?
Maybe the have a big “illegal” emblem on their license but I’m sure that would be considered discrimination, right?
