Massachusetts revokes Alberta's backdoor driver's license Arizona may be famous for cracking down on illegal immigration, but the ease with which you can avoid the test and obtain a driver's license has attracted immigrants who don't speak English well. There are hundreds of immigrants in Massachusetts who, after obtaining driver's licenses in this state, return to Massachusetts to apply for conversion to local driver's licenses. Due to the large number of such applicants, the Massachusetts Department of Motor Vehicles drew the attention of the Department of Motor Vehicles and launched an investigation. Since October last year, the Massachusetts Department of Motor Vehicles has revoked 124 such "illegal" driver's licenses. The Massachusetts Department of Motor Vehicles and the State Police's Office said that based on their investigation, these driver's license conversions were not related to illegal immigration or national security. Most of these "illegals" are legal immigrants with language barriers. Since they cannot "normally" pass the test to obtain a driver's license in Massachusetts, they "go through the back door" and go to Arizona, which has looser driver's license controls, to get a driver's license, and then try to obtain a Massachusetts driver's license by "exchanging drivers." Asia allows applicants to pass the written test for translators. If you apply for a driver's license through a driving school approved by the state, you can also waive the written test and road test procedures. And the instructors in those driving schools speak the same language as the applicants. The message spread through immigrant communities everywhere, attracting motorists who didn't speak English. To obtain a Massachusetts driver's license, applicants must pass a written test and a road test. Massachusetts provides written test papers in English and 26 other languages, but to prevent cheating, translation assistance is prohibited. The director of the Massachusetts Department of Motor Vehicles stated that these applicants violated regulations by trying to obtain driver's licenses through tricks. The handling measures taken by the Supervision Office are by no means targeted at immigrant communities. Those who were caught cheating on their application to obtain a Massachusetts driver's license had their driver's license revoked for 60 days and were required to pay a $100 re-application fee. They were also told that in order to obtain a Massachusetts driver's license, they must take the Massachusetts written test and road test. Except for Arizona, which has looser driver license controls, Illinois is one of the few states where drivers can take the written test and road test on the same day, and receive a new driver's license immediately after passing it. The convenience of getting a driver's license immediately is very attractive to some people who need to get a driver's license immediately. Some new Chinese immigrants even fly to Illinois to apply for a driver's license for this purpose.
