Eligibility for Driver’s
Licenses
QUESTION
Do you
approve of a law summarized below, which
was approved by the House of
Representatives and
the Senate on May 26, 2022?
PLEASE,
VOTE YES
WHY
WE SHOULD VOTE YES
1)
Today, by Law, undocumented immigrants can buy and register a car.
2)
They can get an ITIN – Individual Tax Identification Number to pay
their income tax
3)
They pay sale taxes when they fill up their car tanks.
4)
They work and they can buy almost everything as documented people
do and of course pay taxes, social security included even if they are
self-employed, in fact they pay all other taxes, state and local.
5)
They register their children in schools and bring them to their
school locations, or the city buses bring then too, they go to church, they go
shopping, they are moving all over the country back and forth.
6)
With ITIN Numbers they can even start a new corporation and hire
documented people to work for them. They can thrive economically and even buy a
house, a building, a factory, a shop and move the economy with a great measure.
7)
They clean America houses as cleaners, they build houses as
carpenters, painters, siders, remodelers, etc. They perform all kind of work;
they are very good performing all jobs you can think of.
8)
The only think they distinct themselves of any American or
naturalized citizen is that Congress didn't pass yet a LAW to make them LEGAL.
9)
If I would find a door opened to the America Dream and to Freedom,
why I would not hesitate to come here. Imagine. This is the land of all dreams.
10)
Immigrants are not criminal, law breakers. The percentage of
criminals are practically all the same in all spheres of society according to
their economy levels. It is true that are practically very few options for
someone to come here through a Visa. There are no visas for carpenters, painters,
house cleaners, waiters, busboys, dish washers, farmers, you name any
of basic jobs, there are no visas for them.
11)
In fact, America hires and love to hire undocumented people. That
is the only reason 30 million of them are here today working, studying, serving
their communities, going to church, raising their children, and enjoying their
lives.
12)
Why should they not get a driver's license?
SUMMARY OF
THE LAW
This law
allows Massachusetts residents who cannot provide proof of lawful presence in
the United States to obtain a standard driver’s license or learner’s permit if
they meet all the other qualifications for a standard license or learner’s
permit, including a road test and insurance, and provide proof of their
identity, date of birth, and residency. The law provides that, when processing
an application for such a license or learner’s permit or motor vehicle
registration, the registrar of motor vehicles may not ask about or create a
record of the citizenship or immigration status of the applicant, except as
otherwise required by law. This law does not allow people who cannot provide
proof of lawful presence in the United States to obtain a REAL ID.
The law
also requires the registrar and the Secretary of the
Commonwealth to establish
procedures and regulations to
ensure that an applicant for a standard driver’s
license or
learner’s permit who does not provide proof of lawful presence
will
not be automatically registered to vote.
The law takes effect on July 1, 2023.
