Is it considered suspicious to not have a driver's license in LA ？?

When I told an American that I did not have a driver's license, he said, "Are you an illegal alien? I am a permanent resident of the US. When I applied for a job at a Japanese company and told them that I did not have a driver's license, I was repeatedly asked why I did not have a driver's license ？. I live in Tokyo, Japan, and I don't have a parking space, and I just never thought about getting a driver's license.

Just because you take the train to work doesn't mean you don't have a car ？
I don't know anyone who doesn't have a car.

Yup.
Even poor students all have cars.
Only short-term exchange students ？ don't have one.

Like the first thing I did when I came to LA was to get a driver's license.
There are many people who don't have their own car for financial reasons, but
I don't hear many people who don't have a driver's license.
If you are going to stay here forever, I think it would be better to get a driver's license and live in a car so you can move around more and feel more freedom.

It is up to the individual whether or not they have a car license, but for those who do, it would seem that they would be incredibly inconvenienced. This is inevitable. Because transportation here is not as developed as in Tokyo, many people inevitably choose to get a driver's license and drive a car. They think, "Oh ？ why don't you have a driver's license ？? And since many people know that illegal aliens cannot get a driver's license because they do not have a social security card that they must show to get a driver's license, the question becomes, "Are you an illegal alien?" or, in employment interviews, "Why don't you have a driver's license? ＝ They ask about the situation over and over again because they wonder if they can give the job to someone ） who is time-constrained. （ But you just have to explain to them and convince them ）

that no matter what they think, if they don't need a license, they don't have to get one, and they know that that's how people think ～ about them, so whether they drive or not, they should just keep their license. I think it is also possible. And a license is not a hindrance to have.

It seems that even illegal aliens can get a license.
