no new illegal aliens . . . next week

A just-released TDOT press release looked promising:
The Dept. of Safety will immediately halt the issuance of Certificates for Driving to people who cannot prove they have legal presence in the U.S.
Well, duh. The program should have been halted on September 12th, 2001.
However in the second to last paragraph we find that it’s only a temporary suspension of the CDF program.
No CDFs will be issued to anyone between today and March 5th, to give the dept. time to train employees on who is still eligible for the certificates, and what documentation will be required. Certificates will be issued to eligible applicants beginning Monday, March 6th.
Keep your eye on this one as it develops.

State Rep. Donna Rowland’s bill HB 2903 to abolish the driving certificates and authorize issuance of one-year renewable driver’s licenses to aliens demonstrating lawful presence is on calendar for Feb. 28 in the Public Safety and Rural Roads Subcommittee of the state House Transportation Committee.
State Sen. Bill Ketron sponsors the companion bill, SB 3123.
We urge you to support these bills. Contact your own state rep and senator. And contact the House subcommittee members right away and tell them to pass Rowland’s bill. If they do that, the bill will then go to the full House Transportation Committee for consideration. Always give the bill number.
