NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — A group of Connecticut religious congregations is calling on state officials to allow illegal immigrants to get drivers’ licenses and register their vehicles.
More than 400 activists gathered Sunday in New Haven to launch a campaign supporting legislation that would expand access to licenses. Several state lawmakers attended and pledged to back a bill during the upcoming legislative session.
Congregations Organized for a New Connecticut says about 54,000 Connecticut residents who must drive to work or take children to school cannot get licenses because they are in the U.S. illegally.
Advocates say allowing immigrants to have drivers’ licenses would improve safety on the roads because the immigrants’ driving skills would be tested. Supporters also say the state would get more revenue from the DMV fees paid by immigrants.
They want illegal immigrants licenses? YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING… This is so not right
As if we don’t have enough problems already.
Why not probally on us via dan malloy. You cant speed but u can come into the country illegally. Lol fuking pathetic.
How about a free ride to Bradley Field and a one way ticket out of the country? This is residency by squatters rights.
I understand people are still going to do things as they see fit, legally or not. But I think this is truly unfair. As a US citizen, we have to have all the proper documentation to obtain a license. Jump through hoops in some cases to get something simple as a loan. And if you see right on the CT DMV you will see what is portrayed as an acceptable Form of ID. So tell me again, how can people find it fair to treat others differently? You need to treat everyone the SAME. If they want a license, become a citizen. Many do it. All should. : Taken from the CT DMV:
