Immigrants seek Calif. driver’s licenses
STANTON, Calif. (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,

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-

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-

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.
