On February 23 The Los Angeles Times publiished a new article on Immigrants getting drivers license

The author’s intended audience was towards people who live in states that have a high a percentage of immigrants that come in to their state and are driving around illegally with out a drivers license. Sheriff Baca's argument in this article is that he believes immigrants should go and get a drivers license and apply for all the things they need to towards becoming a citizen and also pay for car insurance just like the rest of us do. His logic to this conclusion is that if immigrants got their drivers license then less people would leave after an accident. Sheriff Baca states that most often people leave after an accident has occured because they are afraid of the consequences since they are not from the united states and they don't have drivers license so allowing them to get their drivers license would greatly minimize this percentage of people who leave during accidents because, if they have a drivers license then therefore they will not leave. I agree with this logic since there is a lot of illegal immigrants that are out there driving and allowing them to recieve a drivers license would also make driving on the road much safer and could possible minimize car accidents as well. Its only fair if immigrants want to come into our country that they also do the things that all citizens in the United States have to do and have such as having to earn and get a drivers license to drive on the road. If immigrants got their drivers license "On Wednesday, Beck said he does not believe licenses for illegal immigrants should be identical to standard licenses, saying "it could be a provisional license, it could be a non-resident license." By giving immigrants a different type of license it can help us determine whether or not to also make them a citizen by taking how they drive in consideration such as if they are always caught drunk driving then that would be a penalty towards becoming a citizen but it would help with many accidents that occur on the road if they had drivers license to determin who they are in case of a fatal accident.
