Illegal Driver's Licenses

Here is a response from my local delegate regarding illegal aliens and driver licenses in Maryland. Does this make sense?



Dear Mr. Wolfe, Thank you for your e-mail. You are correct in your understanding of the bill's provisions. Maryland (unfortunately) has been one of five states that allows individuals to get driver's licenses without proof that they are here legally. If there had been more yes votes, that would have stopped effective April 19. As to your insurance question - as far as I know, an applicant for insurance doesn't have to provide proof of income. You are correct that an illegal immigrant who has a license can renew his license through 2015. Though since there weren't enough yes votes for the bill, an illegal immigrant could go to MVA before June 1 and get his license renewed for another five years anyway.
Sincerely, Del. Dana Stein
