Dear Culcune,

Are you sure about that? Especially there in your state -- if an undocumented person is caught driving without a license, or has an accident without license/insurance, surely they are fast-tracked for deportation like our friends here in Beijing, with a 10-year ban on re-entering the US. Or am I misunderstanding the situation?

I do think visitors, including the undocumented, should be allowed to get drivers licenses, since this and only this allows them to get insurance and drive legally. That's way better than refusing to let them drive, thus guaranteeing that when they hit you or me they are uninsured. I don't see that as a "reward" for being undocumented, but a way of reducing risks for law-abiding folks like you and me.

cheers
