[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 1492082, member: 12952"] [url]http://www.capsweb.org/blog/california%E2%80%99s-illegal-immigrants-struggle-pass-dmv-test[/url] On January 2, thousands of aliens lined up at Department of Motor Vehicle offices throughout California. In Sacramento, lines stretched around the block. DMV anticipates that 1.4 million aliens will eventually apply. In anticipation of [URL='http://www.scpr.org/blogs/multiamerican/2014/09/22/17331/california-dmv-hiring-900-workers-to-serve-immigra/']the crush[/URL], DMV has opened four new offices and hired 900 additional staff. But many first-day applicants’ hopes were dashed when they couldn’t pass the written test, even though Hispanics can take the exam in Spanish. DMV offers the knowledge test [URL='https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/?1dmy&urile=wcm:path:/dmv_content_en/dmv/dl/dl_info#languages']in 31 languages[/URL]. Several of California’s leading daily newspapers interviewed (in Spanish) applicants who failed their tests. As one [URL='http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article5360535.html']put it[/URL], “No one is passing.” Advocates steadfastly insist that allowing aliens to drive will [URL='http://www.cbsnews.com/news/california-opens-drivers-license-applications-to-illegal-immigrants/']improve road safety[/URL]. But early DMV evidence suggests the opposite. When would-be drivers can’t pass the written test in their native language, expecting them to read, understand and obey road signs may be too much of a stretch. [/QUOTE]
