  Illinois Governor Pat Quinn has signed into law a bill that will allow illegal immigrants to obtain drivers licenses. Quinn says an estimated 250,000 immigrant motorists are on Illinois' roads today, and Quinn says these unlicensed drivers  present a serious but preventable safety risk to all Illinois drivers. Senate Bill 957 allows the Secretary of States Office to issue temporary drivers licenses to applicants who have resided in Illsinois for more than a year but who are not eligible for a Social Security number. In order to receive a temporary license, an applicant must pass a driving safety test and carry auto insurance. The drivers license cannot be used as official identificatrion and can be revoked if a license holder is found not carrying insurance.
