Camden forum on driver's licenses for undocumented draws 300
Philadelphia Inquirer ^ | October 23, 2014 | by Julia Terruso

Eufracia Mora and her husband run a commercial and residential painting business, and often have to drive from two to three hours for a job. The parents of two small children ride the whole way unlicensed and on edge.

"I'm always nervous every time I get in the car," Mora said, "Every day I drive for work, or I drive the kids to school, I'm worried I'll see a police car."

Mora is undocumented and cannot legally obtain a driver's license. She joined nearly 300 people Wednesday night for a forum on immigration issues largely focused on whether driver's licenses for undocumented residents will be allowed in New Jersey.

The event, organized by Camden County and held at St. Joseph Pro-Cathedral in heavily Hispanic East Camden, came out of an increased demand on the city's Office of Hispanic Affairs.

"We were hearing real problems, and lots of them, and we decided we needed to have a meeting to educate the public and bring legislators in to hear our side and to become advocates for our concerns," said Freeloader Carmen G. Rodriguez.

A panel of immigration lawyers answered questions, as did city, county, and state legislators.

They are not “undocumented” - they are FOREIGNERS.

Why give driver licenses to FOREIGNERS?!

AWWWW. The poor babies. Living in the shadows. Running a commercial and residential painting business living in the shadows. Worried about driving illegally in the shadows. Showing up to government buildings to petition US government officials in the shadows. Asking for legal rights while in the country illegally in the shadows.

And immigration enforcement officers were not at this event arresting these invaders why???

I trust that they use e-Verify when hiring employees.

Foreigners here legally can drive with their foreign driver license.

Why give driver licenses to FOREIGNERS?! Legal or illegal?
