Thousands of illegal immigrants show up at DMV offices to obtain driver authorisation

Re: Thousands of illegal immigrants show up at DMV offices to obtain driver authorisa

I wonder if I could illegally sneak across the border into Mexico, find an under the table job despite speaking very little Spanish, and then go down to the local Mexican DMV and get me a Mexican Drivers License?

If you don't have a Federally issued voter card in Mexico you can't do anything, so no.

... I'm in Mexico... and you don't want to do that... not because of the law... but because most of the illegal immigrants work for wages the average Mexican would not work for.

I was being facetious, but I would imagine that even in Mexico it would at least require some bribes for someone that wasn't even legally supposed to be there to get a drivers license.

That was my point, I was being facetious.

It's actually quite easy to get a driver's license. A fake IFE and 300 pesos does the job.

Where I am they are checking everything once and again.

It is a whole show now to buy license plates for a car or even to changes them every three years.

You know those guys that help get your car registered? The guys that don't work directly for the state?

The arrested them all here, took them to the capital and some are still facing charges for falsifying documents and other things.

I came back to Nayarit a few days ago from a trip to GDL/ZCA. It's still as crooked as ever. A few weeks ago we had a case of a young woman stabbing her mother to death. Everyone is now saying the local equivalent of the state's attorney general is involved. Some guy named Veytia. The Policia Vial is pretty tame on my end.

It was rhetorical, I'm certain!
 
Re: Thousands of illegal immigrants show up at DMV offices to obtain driver authorisa

What i think is funny is that the GOV thinks that these people are going to get insurance and everything else in order to drive.

i can't wait till they get into an accident kill someone don't have insurance but nothing happens to them.

Eleven states have it now, you don't think we've had that scenario yet?

If we have then they have kept it hush hush and no one is reporting on it except for maybe local news stations. i haven't heard anything about it here.

we don't hand them out here and we still have illegals getting into wrecks.
 
Re: Thousands of illegal immigrants show up at DMV offices to obtain driver authorisa

License and auto insurance are good things. The real outrage is they have jobs.

Federal aid prolly covers the expenses!

It IS an outrage that they have jobs, but how is further legitimizing them "a good thing"?
 
Re: Thousands of illegal immigrants show up at DMV offices to obtain driver authorisa

At least when they run into you on their way to work they have insurance, and maybe dont hit you at all becasue they went to drivers ed.

:roll: they aren't going to get insurance. yet they are still going to cause accidents and wrecks. which drives up insurance costs.
worst the insurance company will probably have to fix their car as well.
 
Re: Thousands of illegal immigrants show up at DMV offices to obtain driver authorisa

Why would an insurance company have to fix someone's car who does not have insurance?

The point is that Mexico is a lot harder on those kinds of things than the US.

Liability insurance covers the other car if you are at fault.

If they continue to do things like they did when they were in Mexico, obviously I am talking about Mexican immigrants, than they won't have insurance or even care about that.
 
Re: Thousands of illegal immigrants show up at DMV offices to obtain driver authorisa

In most states I think it is impossible for the other driver to be at fault if the other driver does not have a liscense.

Exactly. We all know that. My first post to the op made fun of the notion that anywhere else in the world a person could sneak into a country, secure employment and then be invited to receive a driving privilege card. Then several others posted similarly and you seem to have taken it all serious. We know! That it wouldn't be possible in Mexico, or ANYWHERE else for that matter.

Yeah. I've had the misfortune of an incident like that. Very ****ed up.

Have you met many Americans who believe that this sort of thing goes on everywhere in the world? That it is normal? I've traveled a bit and have never heard anyone but the Americans doing this sort of thing, or spending billions of dollars annually on people who have arrived in their country illegally.
 
Re: Thousands of illegal immigrants show up at DMV offices to obtain driver authorisa

The very first guy in the story has a job. Why?

Because he's willing to work for 5 bucks an hour and his boss doesn't have to pay payroll taxes, workman's comp, nor unemployment insurance on him.
