To accommodate the influx in driver\u2019s license applicants, the California government hired roughly 1,000 additional DMV workers, extended office hours, and created several new locations.\u00a0 Nonetheless, the law continues to put illegal aliens ahead of U.S. citizens.\u00a0 For instance, the state requires all drivers over the age of 70 to go to the DMV in-person to renew a driver\u2019s licenses, making California\u2019s elderly compete in long lines with illegal aliens at the DMV.<\/p>\n \u201cIt certainly overloads the system,\u201d said Ann Coil, Santa Ana Tea Party Patriots coordinator.\u00a0 \u201cAnd, again, we\u2019re giving priority to people who aren\u2019t citizens,\u201d she added.\u00a0 \u201cThere is concern in this country, and it\u2019s reflected in this election, that there\u2019s more compassion for people who are not citizens than those who are.\u201d<\/p>\n ![\"iStock_000004441071_Large\"](\"http:\/\/live-immigrationreform.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/iStock_000004441071_Large-300x183.jpg\")
<\/a>Unfortunately, this already high figure has already likely been surpassed given the recent revelation this past week that the State of California gave driver\u2019s licenses to roughly 605,000 illegal aliens in 2015<\/a>.\u00a0 The California DMV began handing driver\u2019s licenses to illegal aliens January 2, 2015, when Assembly Bill 60, took effect.\u00a0 An estimated 830,000 illegal aliens have sought driver\u2019s licenses under the legislation thus far, and illegal aliens accounted for slightly less than half of all the new non-commercial licenses \u2013 about 1.4 million \u2013 issued by the DMV in 2015.<\/p>\n
