(AP) — Hundreds of people packed in hours-long lines Friday as California began issuing driv- er’s licenses to the nation’s largest population of immi- grants in the country illegally. Braving near-freezing tem- peratures, immigrants donning scarves and gloves and poring over driver’s handbooks ar- rived at the newly-created De- partment of Motor Vehicles a.m. hoping to be among the about 9,500 people had ap- pointments to apply for new licenses on Friday. Hundreds more lined up outside the only walk-in applicants, including - ange County city of Stanton. California is one of 10 states that now license immi- grants in the country illegally to drive, though the new cards issued to immigrants will in- clude a distinctive marking and are not considered a valid Immigrant advocates have cheered the licenses as a way to integrate immigrants who must drive to work and shut- tle children to school. But critics have questioned state identity of foreign applicants, AP Photo/Lenny Ignelzi,File In this April 23 file photo, California Highway Patrol of- ficer Armando Garcia explains to immigrants the pro- cess of getting a driver’s license during an information session at the Mexican Consulate, in San Diego. citing security concerns. Celia Rayon, a 49-year-old warehouse worker from Ana- heim, emerged smiling from her newly-printed driving per- mit. For nearly two decades, the Mexican immigrant has refrained from driving, rely- ing on rides from co-workers to get to her job. say the program will improve road safety because more drivers will be tested and in- sured and studies show unli- censed drivers are more likely to cause a fatal crash. Applicants must submit proof of identity and state resi- dency and pass a written test to get a driving permit. Those who don’t possess foreign govern- list of approved documents can be interviewed by a DMV in- vestigator to see if they qualify. Immigrants must come back at a later date and pass a road test to get the license, which will be marked with the words “federal limits apply.” Those who have licenses from other states are not required to take the driving test again, DMV spokeswoman Jessica Gonzalez said. Still, some immigrants who waited in line for hours failed the required written test and vowed to make an ap- pointment to return on another date to try again. During the last year, immi- grant advocates, consular of- - couraged immigrants to study and offered free driver’s-test preparation classes to help ap- plicants get ready. About half of new driver’s license applicants in Califor- nia fail the required written test, Gonzalez said. Ready to shiver? Arctic air to put America on ice WASHINGTON (AP) — Much of America is about to get the Arctic shivers. - dently forecasting frigid po- lar air will plunge south into the northern plains, Midwest and then the East Coast from next Tuesday through Thurs- day. The Midwest should see temperatures well below zero, with single digit lows in much of the East and freezing tem- peratures as far south as At- lanta, New Orleans and parts of Florida. National Weather Service meteorologist Paul Kocin, an expert on winter storms, said it is a classic pattern of mas- sive blasts of Arctic air hitting just about everyone east of the Rockies. He said it will rival last year’s January Arc- tic outbreak that introduced the phrase “polar vortex” to America. “This is going to be a big cold outbreak, pretty windy as well,” Kocin said. “It’s go- ing to drive all the way down south.” The wind and cold could mean wind-chill factors that will make the temperature feel like 30 degrees below zero — 50 degrees below zero in Min- neapolis and Chicago, said meteorologist Ryan Maue of the private Weather Bell An- 40s snow ice 50s 60s cold front 70s 80s 90s 100s warm front stationary front 110s high alytics. He called it “old-tim- er’s type of cold.” Kocin predicts a small Mid- western band of intense snow along with the cold, with some also in parts of the Northeast. Even though it is several days in advance, meteorolo- gists are pretty sure about this forecast. Kocin said many of the best computer models are saying the same thing. This is all coming from cold air escaping from the Arctic. The center of the cold air will be around Quebec, Canada, where temperatures — not wind chill — may plunge as low as 40 degrees below zero, Maue said. low Yesterday’s National Extremes: (for the 48 contiguous states) High 84° in Naples, Fla.
