So we're going through the expense, time and effort of changing multiple laws so that illegal immigrants can get Texas DL. I'm not seeing the gain here. The problem is that this person had no insurance, if they had a valid DL, there's no guarantee that they would have insurance either. You're acting like if we give illegal immigrants the ability to obtain DLs, they will all of the sudden go out in droves to buy insurance. I think you're wrong about that.
The real issue here is that there's an uninsured motorist driving, but there are uninsured US citizens driving around as well. Perhaps there neeRAB to be a better system for verifying insurance before someone is allowed on the road.
