Illegal Immigrant and Drivers License

Since the federal government isn't doing much about illegal aliens and drivers license, or for that matter any element of undocumented aliens, the local governments are saying they've had enough.

Local communities are using their own local laws to target illegal immigrants who drive with no drivers license. Since now, most cities require you prove you are legal in the United States, illegal aliens don't get new licenses - or get old ones renewed. And being pulled over by a traffic cop is just a matter of time.

Another bite into illegal immigration is to the landlords who rent to known illegal aliens, and businesses that knowingly hire them. The ACLU says that there are over 40 such laws on the books, being enforced.

Some see the drivers license ordinance with illegal immigrants as racial profiling. Ramon Becerra, at the Labor Council for Latin American Advancement says almost all the cars that are towed belong to Hispanics. The mayor of Waukegan, Illinois, Richard Hyde, says that now the illegal aliens stopped with no drivers license are mostly white people. He notes that traffic accidents have gone down.

How You Will Get Caught

If you are an illegal immigrant, the chances are you will be caught as you go to and from work. If your car is not in good shape, there is a chance that something will break, and you will have to stop at the side of the road. A police will likely pull up to check out what is happening.

As an illegal alien, your best chance of not getting caught driving without a drivers license is by taking public transportation - the bus, or a taxi. However, you must be aware that you are still working illegally and that there is probably an ordinance against your employer for hiring you without documentation.

Sooner or later, if you don't gain legal entrance to the United States, and proceed in the proper and legal manner, you will be caught.
