Lives will change for hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants Saturday, when the state Motor Vehicle Commission will begin accepting applications for driver’s licenses from people without federal immigration status. After years of political fights and months of delays due to the coronavirus pandemic, New Jersey will become the 14th state allowing the state’s 450,000 undocumented residents to obtain standard driver’s licenses and non-driver identification cards. Nearly 750,000 people will be affected by the law, which passed in December 2019 and will also benefit certain senior citizens, formerly incarcerated residents, transgender people whose documents may not match their given gender identity, domestic violence

But will they have to pay for insurance coverage or are they exempt?

What’s an “undocumented immigrant?”
If they are given a license does that make them a documented immigrant? I don’t care what you give them. They are still illegal
Oh and no driving school or drivers test? Can they read English street signs and road laws?

No #5. They can't read English. They probably cannot read or write their own language.

Wait until people in New Jersey see their insurance rates skyrocket because of the "uninsured driver" portion.

I'm sure a lot of these newly documented undocumented illegals will be moving to your state and mine. I wouldn't be surprised if they somehow got grants or government assistance to move to a red state of their choice.

A liberal friend of mine visited Newark, New Jersey, for an oldies concert about 12 or so years ago. He told me that he "didn't see any Americans" while he was there.

Well then, if they have a drivers license they are no longer undocumented, but they are still illegal aliens. It's a mystery why any state would want to reward people who have already proven they have no regard for the law, and expect them to obey traffic laws.

The common sense we see displayed on this site by American citizens who have not lost their minds or their love of country is the only thing preventing this country from imploding. The defiant lawlessness of the democrat party and its supporters will destroy us, if they are not stopped. It’s looking pretty grim for the good guys right now and policies like this one will escalate our demise.
The reality of the consequences of open borders does not bode well for our citizens and their way of life. Democrats do not care about the very people who make the country work and pay their salaries. While our seniors, veterans, homeless, and children are ignored, the democrat party supports the lawless invasion of illegals pouring through our southern border from a host of different countries. This illegal invasion will forever change our country, culture and way of life. The democrats are striving to create a Balkanization of the country which will assure easier control for them than would a united people. The last thing the democrats want is the country united. The evil that drives this party and their supporters is unimaginable in its scope. This one issue will remake this country and not in a good way. We are being worn down by evil men and women who have taken a sledge hammer to our foundation and will not stop until it is destroyed. We will be left with an angry, violent, divisive, people ruled by arrogant elites who will never suffer the consequences their actions have wrought on the rest of us. I cannot think of another reason that a so called American political party would do what they are doing to this country other than profoundly immoral. Their policies are toxic to the American dream and our way of life. Evil is the best word to describe them.

#14, on my last business trip to the UK (2012) a friend was driving me into London and told me, “You won’t see any Brits in London”. There, it’s all “Asians” - Muslims and Chinese.

The Democrats are rolling out their plan for how to steal the next election. There is no rational explanation of why illegal immigrants should be given any type of government ID except to vote. By law if they even show up at a Secretary of State office they should be immediately arrested and deported. This has been their immigration strategy from the beginning.

People from other counties breaking our law by coming here ILLEGALLY, many of whom commit more crimes and take our money in welfare and these idiots give them drivers licenses instead of deporting them. Does anyone see anything wrong here??????

If you move them to Georgia they apparently will lose the ability to figure out how to get the license. Problem solved.

The democrats are so worried about voters... that they will do anything illegal to get the vote...New Jersey is lost anyway... so it's not worth worrying about their illegal efforts to pull votes out of the air....don't count US out...legal hispanic voters are NOT happy about their rights being trampled on... they are freedom loving citizens and ms13 is not welcome into their communities...don't fall into the democratic hope for victims...divide and conquer isn't working as well as they had hoped...

So...the dems allow illegal, undocumented aliens to vote for POTUS, and gives them untested licenses to drive....but then doesn't count them in the census used to apportion Congressional seats.
Yeah, nothing wrong with that...except for all of it.

These are racist requirements that demand modification. After all, and we have been told this time and time again, it is an unnecessary burden with extreme racists overtones to require any people to have identification, especially for voting.

FTA: "Residents can also obtain an identification card compliant with the Real ID Act, permitting the holder to board domestic flights and will identify the holder’s citizenship status."
So, what was the point of "Real ID"? Another bunch of BS foisted on the useful idiots that comprise the majority of Americans. More Homeland Security along the border, please. Oh, too busy changing diapers and chauffeuring illegals to the airports and bus terminals.

In reality the Clinton era motor-voter laws register all applicants for US drivers licenses to vote and prohibit voter registrars from verifying the citizenship status of those newly registered voters. So common sense will tell you that there are massive numbers of non US citizens, both illegal aliens and legal immigrants currently registered to vote all over the USA. Registering to vote has been easy for illegal aliens to do since huge numbers of illegal aliens have for decades been making false claims to US Citizenship, bolstered by all sorts of either entirely bogus or fraudulently used US identification documentation that were either manufactured by false document vendors or that were legitimately issued to some other person. So you can see that in the leftist Democrat run big cities or in so-called Sanctuary Cities where the lack of a legal immigration status is ignored, unqualified people fraudulently registering to voter is of no consequence. Look back and you will see that there were a lot of cheap labor loving wimpy Republicans during the Clinton era who helped the Democrats pass their motor-voter laws.

Illegal aliens you say? oh, no, future demonrat voters! For NJ political party ..it's undocumented workers.
1984, change the language, change the culture.
BTW, will these illegal aliens have to pay back taxes, or now car insurance, unemployment insurance, FICA insurance? Because you know, a driver's license is the starting point to get government FREE EVERYTHING! without ever having to pay (taxes) into the system. IT MAKES US SICK!

It is not legal to issue driver's licenses to persons in the country illegally. They have no constitutional rights. Our laws are being broken by both Democrats and Republicans, both of which have become totalitarian, criminal organizations. The road to totalitarianism and communism has been paved by democracy, which has replaced our republican government.

Not only will the criminal illegal alien invaders be affected by the law, they will be all over East Coast highways with the rest of us. Legitimate New Jersey residents are bad enough on the highways, wait until they get mixed in with drunked up illegals. Did you see the part where a Mexican or otherwise non-US drivers license will be accepted in lieu of driver training? New Jersey's delusional officials have obviously never driven in Mexico City, it's like a chariot race at the circus maximus. This move is illegal and wrong in so many ways.

They are illegal aliens. I was driving Interstate 5 in the Sacramento Valley three years ago. I was between two semi’s, doing the speed limit. There were several trucks behind me and I started hearing blasting horns. The truck behind didn’t blast me (thank goodness) but I caught a weird motion on the right side of my car. A car, on the shoulder, no license plates, doing at least 80 mph. The driver? Hispanic.
