ABSTRACT
The author reflects on the issue regarding the immigration reform imposed by the Texas Drivers License Division in Texas. He asserts that the restrictions may not appear overly onerous, and that the intent of the reform is to prevent immigrant labor from overstaying their visas with a license issued for five years. Furthermore, he cites that the restrictions also prevent employers who need seasonal labor to hire qualified workers to drive trucks.
