ANNAPOLIS, Md. - A bill that would effectively upend a Maryland state law that prohibits new driver's licenses for illegal immigrants is moving through the legislature.
"If you live in Maryland you should be able to obtain a driver's license," says State Senator Vincent Ramirez.
Ramirez is sponsoring the measure, asserting it would offer every driver more protection on the roadways and generate millions in additional fees.
"It would allow people to drive to work, to get insurance," he says. "It's a necessity."

How will they pass the test if they can't speak english?
Kinda like registering firearms....the government will know where a bunch of them are...easier to round up and deport! If they use this undocumented feature of the program, I would be for it...however, the illegals should fear it - just like the gun owners....
The only necessity is to round them up and deport them!
NO LICENSE IN MD!
The key words in this idiots statement is "and it generates millions in additional fees". And, how can you say it gives every driver more protection on the roads when you add more drivers to the roads. Don't worry though. For sure Conway,Cane, and Mathias will rubber stamp it.
the mva/dmv should all be arrested for aiding and abetting. they know these people are illegal and they choose to hide them and/or not report them to the authorities.
This is just too unbelievable. And how will they even afford a car and better yet, afford to buy insurance. Oh thats right...it's okay for them to be driving around without insurance with the crazy rules in this liberal state. They will probably be "exempt" from having to be insured.
What part of Illegal do people not understand? The only right you should have is to be deported....and come here the right way....just like everyone else did....

They will do like they did back in 2009. They hire people and have a special section for all the ones that can not speak english. I remember going to the DMV when Maryland didn't require people to be here legally and it was a mess. It used to take hours to get through there. Once they required people to prove they were here legally it was a breeze to get in there and out in a timely fashion. That only tells me one thing. The ones that were at the DMV were in fact ILLEGALLY here.
Hey Vincent Ramirez. If you live in the USA you should do so LEGALLY!
Everything is good to do in MD. except have a gun...anyone see any problems here?
8:52 and 9:15. If I'm not mistaken, the dmv already does have a section for foreigners. And last I heard they send certain workers to take Spanish lessons. Now this may come as a shock to you, I believe you are paying for it!

Mr. Ramirez what part of illegal don't you understand? Is it because they are "your people."

And they vote Democrat!
Sounds like a bad thing. Guess what it is!!

Yes they do have a section over to the right hand side. It used to be packed, now there is never anyone over there. If they can not read English how are they able to read the road signs? I guess the state was losing to much money the legal way. Now all the legal people will have to wait in the long lines again.
Hell with the licenses!! Make them get insurance! They're alrady driving.
This state is a joke, I think ODummy is trying to out-liberal California and Massachusetts. What part of ILLEGAL dont they understand. If they do this the people will have no respect for the authority of the state. If they don't care about the law, why should we?

You are exactly right and they are driving drunk and crashing into innocent victim. Then they run, abandoning the car behind, and the victim to fend for themselves if they survive. Some people have become permanently disabled and wards of the state because of these drunk illegals run. Some of the victims are hospitalized in state hospitals because they didn't have enough insurance to pay all the medical bills. Guess who pays for them now!
Elected people like Obama and O'Malley are well off and can afford a tax increase so Progressive tax increases don't even put a dent in their pockets. They are also exempt from many laws.
Most illegals have auto insurance just long enough to obtain a driver's license, they then cancel their insurance. I know this happens in Delaware and I'm sure it happens in every other state as well! Have you been in a accident with someone that has no insurance?
A walk over the border would take care of this problem.
You're right 11:32. People will have no respect and we wil attract more of those people like flies to a dung heap. They will tell all their people to go to md because they can get away with anything.
More democrat votes for ODummy 1:12
It's sad to see how ignorant some people are. For the ones that say that the "illegals" are on welfare and voting democrat, you need to inform yourselves, to receive any help from the federal government you have to prove you are legally in the country, a person can not vote unless it is a citizen,so just because you have a drivers license it does not mean you can vote!!!
A necessity? How absurd, having a drivers license is a privalage, as I have always been told and not a necessity! These idiots need to get their heads out of ...
Is it possible to protest this ridiculous bill in any way?
Illegals getting DL will NOT make it safer on roads, and will NOT force them to get insurance.
