When something is free, but it’ll take a long time to get it, there’s always the chance that someone will try to take advantage of the situation to make a profit off impatient people. In Colorado, the attorney general’s office is investigating a scalping scheme that involves scammers hoarding driver’s license appointments with the Department of Motor Vehicles, then turning around and selling them to undocumented residents.
Many undocumented residents want to get a driver’s license, but are experiencing a long wait to obtain one, more than two years after the IDs were made legal, reports CBS Denver.
It’s a slow process: there are only three offices in Colorado offering the program, and there’s a three-month wait once you’ve made an appointment. Thousands have yet to get that appointment — which is free — in the first place, which is where the scam comes in.

Sounds like the free market in action to me.
I wonder.....
Colorado is probably under court order to issue licenses to illegals. Probably a state law prohibits that, but who cares?
Out of control Black Robed thugs can do as they please.
Maybe this delay is just the state’s way of circumventing this process.
At least I’d like to think this. In reality - this is probably just another FUBAR DMV action.
Easy pickings but ICE is nowhere to be found.
Forget selling them. Maybe the freepers just need to make a bunch of appointments that no one shows up for.
The fraud is up to our necks, all brought to us by corrupt politicians who are looting Middle America.
Btw, why are people who don’t move or change addresses required to re-register and pay for the same vehicle over and over and over and over?
It’s a colossal scam to loot.$$
Court order or no, this violates the Real ID Act.
Therefore no CO drivers license can be used for federal purposes.
If there was any justice.
One would think that this is a job for the DOJ and FBI, but not in Barry’s world. Oh no! Such behavior is sanctioned in this administration.
You can’t cheat an honest man.
