Thirteen foreign-born residents of Maryland filed a lawsuit yesterday alleging that the state's Motor Vehicle Administration routinely and improperly denies driver's licenses to immigrants.
Unlike laws in Virginia and several other states, Maryland's code does not prohibit illegal immigrants from obtaining a license. Attempts by several legislators to pass such a prohibition have repeatedly failed -- with many Maryland lawmakers arguing that most illegal immigrants are otherwise law-abiding and that the roads are safer if they are required to pass a driving test.
