Buffalo, NY (WBEN) Supporters of the Green LIght bill say they're happy the Assembly voted to give driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. But they're concerned some of the votes did not come from their local assemblymembers.
Supporters are now calling on the Senate to make the next approval. "Common sense and fairness will prevail, and this is a common sense legislation that benefits all families and in particular immigrants families. We call on the Senate to take the next step," urges Connor.
Assembly Majority Leader Crystal People-Stokes said: "The Passage of the Greenlight NY bill IS a victory for undocumented immigrants, who have waited over a decade to have their access to driver's licenses restored. As a co-sponsor of this bill, I believe this move WILL make a difference in my community and the whole state ---improving public safety, increasing economic revenue, lowering insurance rates for all residents, and keeping families together .
