Well, there are some states that already do allow those who entered the country illegally to get a legal driver's license - California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, Utah, Vermont, and Washington. DC will also allow you to do this. Studies show this will increase the insured rate by about 1%. That's good, until you realize that unlawful entrants are a much larger percentage of the population than that - meaning that most unlawful entrants are driving without insurance. In the positive column, insurance rates are reduced by about $18 per year in states that insure illegal workers. Its not a big change, but let's mention it anyway. California recorded a drop in hit and runs by 8-10%. However, there are more crashes in states where those who committed a crime and entered the country illegally can get a legal drivers license.
