Deivers License for All

"Advocates stress safety in effort to restore driver's license provision
6/22/2009

Representatives from law enforcement, the dairy industry, labor groups and religious organizations urged lawmakers this morning to approve a provision in the state budget that would provide limited driver's licenses for undocumented immigrants.

The state Senate last week stripped the provision out of the budget after the Assembly had signed off on it. A series of speakers this morning asked the Senate to reverse course, stressing it was not an immigration issue, but rather about providing safe roads in Wisconsin.

Dairy farmer John Rosenow of Cochran said many immigrants working in rural Wisconsin studied for driver's license exams and took the test to obtain licenses prior to the approval of the federal REAL ID bill. Since then, he said there has not been a drop in the number of immigrants driving on rural roads but rather a decrease in safety.

"The only issue here is safety," Rosenow said.

Speakers at this morning's news conference singled out state Sen. Tim Carpenter (above) as a key member of the Senate that they plan to lobby to restore the provision.

What safety issue can there be? What  B S ! What seems to be the problem. If you are a legal citizen you can get a drivers license. If your not, then you can't.

Today it's a drivers license , then it's SS numbers , then it free dental, then free k- 12, then it's free collage. And just for votes to keep power.

Dam liberal ideas and who ends up paying for the problems they bring!
Law abiding taxpayers.
