USCIS & DMV system is flawed at so many levels

– This individual was able to illegally, enter into the US and still stay for several years. No Action taken. – The state of CA granted him a drivers license ? on what basis ? that too for a semi- truck. ?
– This guy was responsible for collapsing the 88 year old Arkansas Bridge in 2019 , as he ignored the weight limit on the bridge & still rode on it, causing it to collapse. he had multiple issues earlier, but still his drivers license was never revoked.

Coming to my case. I came into the legally & was on a visa then during my stay in CA. The CA CMV always grants you a DL with validity only till visa end date ( which is fair) . During my standard visa renewal process( which takes about 6 months) , USCIS gives you a receipt of application which makes you legal in the country ( until a decision is reached or 180 days) . USCIS clearly calls out this receipt can be used for everything from work permit to getting DL.

DMV rule book accepts this receipt as proof of legal residency, yet the CA DMV used to reject my application & refuse to grant even a temporary license as per the rule . I have tried filing in atleast 8 different DMV in my locality in west LA , all of them reject it as they 'cannot identify this document' although it is mentioned in the DMV rule book. Imagine hearing this stupid statement after you have waited in queue for atleast 3 hours in DMV & pay the expensive CA tax all along.

I was forced to go around in ubers or car pool with friends, limiting my career options as I was in sales. & imagine, i had to undergo this renewal every 2 years, which meant that I would in carpooling after every 18 months, because these folks dont know their own rulebook.

The CA DMV is just filled with such illiterate thugs.

The system is built in such a way ,that they penalize the ones who follow the rules & make it easy for those break it ( like this above semi truck driver )
