Let them drive

摘要

Teimy zepeda was in an accident two blocks from her Connecticut home last year. One of her children was injured; her van was written off. The other driver fled the scene. His car was unregistered; he was presumed to be an illegal immigrant with no driving licence. So is Ms Zepeda. Illegals are often reluctant to call the police; they always ask for a driving licence. "Even when it isn't your fault,just not having [a] licence makes you guilty," says Armando, her husband.As the Senate voted this week to allow debate on comprehensive immigration reform, several states are pondering a narrower problem. Until this year illegal immigrants could not legally drive except in New Mexico, Utah and Washington state. So they typically drive without lessons, testing or insurance.
