Nebraska -- Supporters of a bill that would allow Nebraska residents to get a driving privilege card even if they are illegal residents, said the issue is public safety, not immigration.
But opponents, including several legal immigrants, believe the issue is immigration and laws should be followed.
Ivonne Jones, a legal immigrant from Brazil, said she can understand the desire to come here for opportunities and a better life, but “sneaking across the border is wrong.”
“It’s unfair for those who have waited for years to come into the country and have to go through the process,” to then give illegal immigrants the “gift” of the driving card, she said.
