To Get Driver’s Licenses For Undocumented Immigrants, Activists Plan Rally In Rhode I
To Get Driver’s Licenses For Undocumented Immigrants, Activists Plan Rally In Rhode Island
May 31, 2016
BY CLARK MINDOCK
After an emotionally charged debate last week in Rhode Island on whether to make driver’s licenses available to undocumented immigrants in the state, activists and immigrants plan to protest state lawmakers’ seeming resistance to the policy. They said they will hold a march late this summer that will also honor labor leader Cesar Chavez's march across California's Central Valley in the 1960s.
The bill that would have allowed Rhode Island to issue the licenses died when state House Speaker Nicholas Mattiello said he wouldn’t let a vote happen before the session's end in June.
“My opinion is, the electorate across the state, the citizens of the state, are not in support of it,” Mattiello, a Democrat, said last week, according to the Associated Press. “So we’re going to respect what the majority of the citizens in the state want to do.”
Rhode Island's Latino population is concentrated in Providence and some nearby cities. There are roughly 35,000 undocumented immigrants in the state. While Rhode Island is dominated by Democratic lawmakers, those who come from less-Hispanic suburbs don’t appear to be as keen on giving undocumented immigrants licenses.

35,000 undocumented that need to be deported! No Driver' License. President Trump needs to declare that ALL Driver's Licenses issued to illegals are "null and void".
Stop aiding and abetting criminal trespassers.
No papers, no entry, no rights, immediate deportation.
Stop tearing American families apart!
