Illegal alien drivers are rarely insured. New Mexico requires an insured driver secure (pay for) uninsured motorist coverage as the chances of being in an accident with one there are horrendously high. Many times the vehicles illegal aliens drive are not properly maintained or they are stolen and used to commit crimes. In my California neighborhood an illegal alien ran a stolen vehicle into a community owned wall which of course we all had to pay for since he was uninsured and had little or no financial resources.

Why we allow people who enter this country illegally to remain here much issue them drivers licenses is beyond ludicrous.
