I understand that many farmers in my district support drivers licenses for illegal immigrants; however, I cannot support this bill due to its specific language. As far as Im concerned, this isnt a safety concern, its a political scheme aimed towards federal lawmakers. By granting undocumented immigrants the ability to obtain official government identification, it could potentially open doors to illegal voting. When it comes to providing official government documentation for individuals that live here illegally, the specifics are important. The Green Light Bill has too much gray area for my support.
