Governor Quinn Signs Historic Traffic Safety LegislationSpringfield – Este pasado domingo, Illinois líder republicano Tom Cross se unió con Gobernador Quinn y otros líderes y dignatarios para la firma de la iniciativa de ley SB957, la cual permitiría otorgar licencias de conducir temporales a los indocumentados en Illinois. SB957 se convertirá oficialmente en ley, por lo que la Secretaria de Estado tendrá diez meses para implementar el sistema, antes de comenzar a expedir la Temporary Visitor Driver’s License (TVDL) o Licencia de Conducir Temporal para Visitantes.

“Mientras el Congreso continúa debatiendo la política de inmigración y la reforma, en Illinois damos un paso monumental para reconocer las necesidades de muchos inmigrantes que ya viven aquí y contribuir tanto a nuestro gran estado” dijo Cross. “Esta nueva ley ofrece a los residentes de Illinois la posibilidad de ir a trabajar, llevar a sus hijos a la escuela o al médico. También hará que las carreteras sean más seguras para todos los residentes. Debemos seguir trabajando juntos para unirse en torno a principios comunes y las maneras de ayudar a mantener a las familias unidas.”

Springfield – On Sunday, Illinois House Republican Leader Tom Cross joined Governor Quinn, other leaders and dignitaries for the signing of Senate Bill 957 which would allow undocumented immigrants to apply for temporary driver’s licenses. The Secretary of State will have ten months to implement this new program and will start issuing the Temporary Visitor Driver’s License (TVDL) later this year.

“As Congress continues to debate immigration policy and reform, in Illinois we take a monumental step in recognizing the needs of many immigrants who already live here and contribute so much to our great state,” said Cross. “This new law offers Illinois residents the opportunity to go to work, take their children to school or to the doctor. It will also make the roads safer for all residents. We must continue working together to unite around common principles and ways to help keep families together.”

    The criminals here continue to amaze at their outright violation of the law and clearly there is no difference between the parties. These people should be behind bars for the fraud, rape and robbery of the taxpayers. This is not only an insult to all the legal immigrants who have come to this country, but it is another demonstration that the criminals are running the institutions. No wonder the nation is not only financially bankrupt but ethically too. Before any new immigration laws are drafted or considered all these Politicians who have chosen not to uphold the law as they were sworn to in their oath of office should be put into jail starting with Comrade Obama who protected his illegal aunt.
