About 40,000 new licenses have been issued in the first month alone.
One of those went to William Garcia, an undocumented resident in Silver Lake, who says the license has secured his livelihood.
The Guatemala native works in Los Angeles as an auto mechanic and, when he didn’t have credentials to drive, picking up his customers’ cars was nerve-wracking.
Now bearing a new license, Garcia told CBS2/KCAL9’s Amy Johnson in Spanish that he feels more secure as a person, more tranquil and more humble. He appreciates knowing the rules of the road.

Never mind the fact that the DMV is so backed-up handing out licenses to illegals that legals have to wait a year to get in and drive without a license in the meantime.
The Guatemala native, an undocumented resident in Silver Lake, works as an "auto mechanic"
FYI, Silver Lake, IIRC, is Chop Shop and Salvage Title Territory.
Yeah, I’m all gooey inside now.....
Never mind that he signed up to vote at the same time.
On January 21, 2017, he should be rounded up and shipped back to Guatemala. Whatever possessions he had is n the US should be seized, and sold to help pay for the cost of deportation.
And he’s happy to have one of the jobs that Americans simply won’t do. /s
I wonder whom the insurance carrier is??
Apparently doesn’t make the people there too fuzzy. There are only 14 comments under the original story, one of which is positive.
Will the last middle class taxpayer leaving California turn out the lights...?
Of course it has. Now he can get Welfare, Food Stamps, public housing and Obamacare — all courtesy of the US taxpayer. He’s living in paradise.
Whose identity did he steal?
All in Spanish.
Whoever hired shim should be shot. He was clearly driving cars without a license.
I wonder if he got a commercial drivers license, which in most states is much more stringent than a regular drivers license. If driving is a part of your job, you need a commercial license.
An auto mechanic. Just doing a job gringos won’t.
Yes but it’s a felony to register to vote if one is not a citizen! Surely this illegal fellow respects laws, right?
/s
And even if by chance he was caught he could just shrug his shoulders and say he didn’t understand the warnings. Even if the registration was in Spanish he could say he doesn’t know how to read Spanish. But then he passed the driver’s license exam in Spanish? Well, heh heh ... he just guessed and got lucky. See how I make a great lawyer?
Do you need a commercial license to pick up/drop off customers at a car repair?
I believe it is California that will allow uninsured, unlicensed, illegals to get back in their car and drive away after traffic stops while legal residents have their cars impounded.
