Thousands Testify In Favor Of Bills Allowing Undocumented Immigrants To Get Drivers Licenses
The Hartford Courant ^ | March 4, 2013 | DANIELA ALTIMARI

NEW HAVEN ——

About 2,000 supporters of a pair of bills that would permit undocumented immigrants to obtain a Connecticut drivers license turned out for a public hearing Monday night.

The crowd filled the auditorium, cafeteria and gymnasium of Wilbur Cross High School, where members of the legislature's transportation committee had gathered to collect testimony.They heard from Mayor John DeStefano, top legislative leaders and Catholic priests. But they also heard from dozens of illegal immigrants, who brought deeply personal stories, in both English and Spanish, of how they must drive to get to work, or to pick up their children, even though they are breaking the law and live in fear of being stopped by police.

("We're always scared,'' said Veronica Noria, a factory worker in her 20s from Mexico who now lives in New Haven. "A lot of people get stopped on their way to work." ) Hummmmmmm I wonder why ?

A great step forward in the interest of assuring Obama’s re-election in 2016. Those photo ID driver’s licenses will suffice for being granted access to voting booths.

The IRS will pay you a reward for turning in employers of illegals!

Call the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) hotline 1-800-829-0433 to report all suspected employers of illegal aliens-—you are not required to identify yourself and may be entitled to a reward. The Application for Reward ( Form 211 http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f211.pdf)

can be downloaded from http://www.irs.gov. or call 1-800-829-3676. The IRS does not take kindly to employers that seek to evade taxes by paying cash for day labor-this is a common practice at construction sites. Report the employer`s license plate number and any other information you may have. Employers usually can’t run and take the hit in their wallets. Follow up with the IRS and ask what action is being taken; if they refuse to cooperate, notify the press and your elected officials. Do your part-—spread the word-—help make this nationwide campaign a success!!!

This is about the genocide of the English, but it also applies to the New English.

Like right here...After being summoned by the guard, she hastily gathered her things, was put in handcuffs and ankle chains, and was placed in a van bound for the ICE office in Bloomington.

Since deportations generally happen on Tuesdays, Dolores feared the worst. She had been deported before, in 2006, soon after crossing the border. She fled her native Honduras again a year later, fearful of an abusive boyfriend. Because of him, she asked that her full name not be used.

She was convicted of illegal re-entry after removal and because of this conviction, she was subject to mandatory detention. While in jail, she lost more than a third of the hair on her head.

After waiting at ICE, an immigration official approached her and delivered the stunning news — she was getting out of jail.http://www.startribune.com/local/194713181.html?refer=y
Illegally entry has now been downgraded low risk offenders..

In Texas you supposedly have to prove your citizenship or legal status. At least you have to if you’re caucasion. Not sure about others.

Links are laws and tips for Americans driving in Mexico.
A law in Florida that foreign license holders need the international drivers license.
The same should apply everywhere in the US...

This country needs to mandate International Drivers Licenses.

Then when an illegal gets arrested for killing someone with a car... at least the police blotter won’t state “from New Haven” but “from Guatemala,etc.”

These damn liberals are always ready to violate the constitution to allow these parasites to run amok in our country,but they refuse to allow us to carry,or buy a firearm that's guaranteed under the second amendment.

What hypocritical SOB’s.

>Catholic priests

I’m assuming these Catholic priests want the illegals to have means to get to their church? Wouldn’t that be special.
