And How are ILLEGALS Doing in their Quest for Driver's Licenses in Various States?

A law granting driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants is set to take effect Friday in Colorado, but the state is facing challenges as it seeks to handle a wave of applicants.

Other states with large immigrant populations, such as California and Illinois, also are dealing with complications and high demands as they implement similar laws.

In Colorado, the motor-vehicle division's scheduling website was overwhelmed in early July after it started setting up appointments for undocumented immigrants, and shut down several times.

There is a three-month wait to get an appointment with the Driver Services Department in Illinois, which began issuing licenses to undocumented immigrants last December, as tens of thousands of people have tried to apply.

And an estimated 1.4 million undocumented immigrants in California are expected to seek special driver's licenses beginning in January. Officials have been working on a new document design since the federal government rejected the state's initial effort because it was too similar to a traditional driver's license.

Eleven states and Washington, D.C., have laws permitting undocumented immigrants to get some sort of special driver's license or permit, said the National Conference of State Legislatures. Individuals who can't show that they are in the U.S. lawfully typically are required to provide proof of state residency, tax returns or other identification to qualify for licenses. But in larger, more populous states, where substantial numbers of immigrants may be eligible, the new regulations are proving tricky to roll out.
