Since we're not deporting 11M people anytime soon,

Since we're not deporting 11M people anytime soon, it would be nice if they were required to pass licensing tests and carry car insurance, like everyone else. You know, for everyone's' safety?

1. AB 60 Requires a Slightly Different Application.

The AB 60 route of applying for a driver's license is available only to applicants who can't prove legal presence in the United States.

Applicants need to have proof of their identity, in the form of a foreign passport, state-issued ID card, or foreign birth certificate. They also need proof of California residency, which can come from lease agreements, insurance documents, or utility bills.

2. All Other Requirements Are Still in Force. AB 60 only changes the part of applying for a driver's license that involves proving lawful presence. Every other part of driving still stands. Applicants need to pass a driving test and maintain car insurance.

3. Undocumented Immigrants Still Aren't Eligible for Benefits. Like it says on the back of your current license, all the AB 60 license does is let holders drive a car. It "does not establish eligibility for employment, voter registration, or public benefits."

Over the years, however, the driver's license has become a de facto ID card.
