Letter: Reader responds to immigration story
After reading the article “Supporters: Driver's license for illegal immigrants a step in the right direction”, I too agree that the new AB60 legislation is a small yet important step in immigration reform. For years, California has suffered from a lack in the agricultural workforce for one reason: immigrants are being deported. However, by giving immigrants driving licenses they will have the opportunity to become a part of the community. The police will no longer have issues with unlicensed drivers on the road. This will help establish a better relationship between immigrants and police officers. New mobility to immigrant will contribute to the wellbeing of the community. This new AB60 legislation is groundbreaking because finally hard-working immigrants will have some rights in the country they work so hard to live and prosper in.
