According to the California Department of Motor Vehicles, a total of 830,000 illegal immigrants applied for a driver's license under AB60 last year, 605,000 of which obtained one. The state DMV says that taking these numbers into consideration, it can be said that the implementation of this law has been successful.
“We had about a year to put together a program and implement it on Jan. 2 of last year,” DMV spokesman Jaime Garza said. “We started with nothing and put together a large program statewide that was successfully implemented.”
