MVA's service to Latinos faulted

“Everybody's trying to do the right thing, so they can drive legally and get insurance”

Advocates for immigrants are urging the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration to improve its services to foreign nationals, saying long wait times and confusing requirements have created a climate in which immigrant drivers are being exploited.

Immigrants and their advocates complain that MVA's phone lines are constantly busy, with applicants waiting as long as six months to schedule an appointment. As a result, a side business has emerged: opportunists offering to make appointments for immigrants for as much as $100, say advocates. Read more

If Md would abide by the the law we wouldn't have the problem or the problem in the waiting lines at the ER.
I know if I get hit by an ileagle I'm coming after the MVA in a law suit.

North Carolina gives thousands of licenses to illegals everyday. You dont even have to have a Social Security Card to get your license in NC. Its a real shame what is happening to this country.

This is ridiculous! Citizens can't get shit, we wait in long lines when we go to the DMV, so what is so special about immigrants -- legal or illegal? And what kind of crazy states give illegals a driver's license? That's absurd!

Jeb has no position.

I'm thinking it's just a rumor. I heard she was the sister of Fox's wife...but really, I can't find any evidence of that.

Columba Garnica Gallo was born in Leon Guanajuato on August 17, 1953 to Jose Maria Garnica, a migrant worker, and Josefina Gallo.(Her parents were not married.)

Marta Maria Sahagun Jimenez was born in Zamora Michoacan on April 10 1953. Her father was a physician and her mother a religious housewife.

It would be hard to picture them being related seeing as how one parent would have to be the same (and it couldn't be the mother, since they were born just a few months apart), and the descriptions of the parents don't sound similar at all.

Illegals are COMPLAINING about the long lines at the DMV? How absurd!!

They complain about things that United States citizens must endure daily. The irony!

This is why illegals are not wanted in the United States.

And I'm sure that they don't care if the illegals can speak or read any English. Or can even read at all. Or have any driving skills at all.

When you have an illiterate driver who never saw the inside of a car until arriving illegally in the USA, handing him a drivers license does not make him any safer a driver.

Mexicans don't care about the drivers license except to provide them legal residency -- because they'll drive with or without them.

Are you BLAMING ME for the illegals who are exploited? I don't care WHAT they go through. They come here illegally and then bitch about how difficult things are? Get a grip. No I don't give a damn about any of them.

Hey idiot! They might be native to the Americas, but they are illegally in the UNITED STATES.

Did you forget that we live in a COUNTRY and not a CONTINENT? You don't have a leg to stand on, with that argument.

Why on God's GREEN EARTH would I assist a lawbreaker with ANYTHING? What can I expect from them in return? NADA. They expect OUR help, but don't want to GIVE theirs.

That's part of the reason that the lines are so long at the DMV. My God! Were you born with NO SENSE, or have you lost what little you had?
