TRUCKERS NEWS * USA - States discuss driver’s licensing of illegal immigrants

Grain Valley,MO,USA -Land Line Magazine, by Keith Goble -11 March 2011: -- Two states allow illegal immigrants to obtain full-blown driver’s licenses. One more state offers a permit that allows them to drive, but not use the license as an ID. In these and other states, lawmakers are discussing legislation that would change licensing rules... In recent years, the list of states providing driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants has dropped from nine to two – New Mexico and Washington. In Utah, illegal immigrants can obtain licenses to drive but they cannot use the licenses as identification... The Alaska House approved a bill that would link driver’s licenses to residency. As is the case in 30 states, HB3 would tie a driver’s license validity to the duration of a person’s authorized residency in the U.S... An Oregon bill would return illegal immigrants’ right to drive.

Haulers' Lament * USA - Federal rules could have a big impact on truck drivers...

... many of whom are illegal immigrants...

Long Beach,CAL,USA -The Chicago Tribune/Press-Enterprise (subscription - Riverside,CAL), by STEPHEN FRANKLIN & DARNELL LITTLE -Jan 27, 2007: -- ... Fanning out from the mammoth ports, the drivers, nearly all of them Latino, crisscross Southern California's congested highways in their worn trucks, carrying freight that will make its way to every part of the country... But a number of the drivers are illegal immigrants, and they may soon find themselves out of work. So freight may begin backing up... That's because the federal government, in its drive to boost port security, is on the verge of issuing guidelines for checking identities of the nation's 750,000 port workers, including 110,000 or so who work as haulers...
