Massachusetts voters will decide this November whether to overturn a new law that makes undocumented immigrants eligible for driver's licenses:
, those who entered the country illegally will be able to apply for a driver’s license with certain documents, like a foreign passport or consular identification paperwork.
Sarang Sekhavat, with the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition, said the law benefits immigrants and society as a whole. "Ensuring all Massachusetts drivers meet the necessary identification, registration and testing requirements for driving just simply makes the roads safer," Sekhavat said."The rule of law matters," Lyons said."People that are in the country illegally should not be rewarded for their behavior by getting a driver's license."
