immigrant labor ... Good for business sure, but detrimental for the community at large.
Yet that "business" is part of the "community at large". If the business fails for lack of workers, how is that not "detrimental" for the "community at large"?
So should the law pass, Mr. Ortiz would be able to stay in Hawaii, legally. Following the rules.
It's easy to "follow the rules" when you get one handcrafted for you personally.
At the time that he got the TWO DUI's, in Hawaii, Hawaii did not allow illegals to obtain a driver's license.
Hawaii also honors your foreign license until it expires -- most other states require you to "convert" to their native license within a certain time; California gives you 10 days, after which they can charge you for "driving without a license" because whatever license you hold is no longer considered "valid".
Even if you purchase insurance while illegally here without a valid license
There are insurance companies that will bind "non-licensed" persons, and in most cases, valid insurance is more important than a valid license. (Personal experience: traffic stop with insurance and no license, $100 fine -- but license and no insurance is $500 + impounded vehicle + license suspension.)
