N.J. may consider 'driver privilege cards' for undocumented immigrants

The Associated Press
Trenton, N.J.— A panel advising Governor Jon Corzine on immigrant issues is considering recommending the state allow undocumented immigrants "driver privilege cards" and in-state college tuition rates. Two Hispanic leaders have told the Record of Bergen County that the state's public advocate, Ron Chen, told them the measures would be included in a panel's report to Corzine. But a spokeswoman for Chen told the newspaper that it hasn't been decided what would be included in the report. The "driver privilege cards" and in-state tuition would need legislative approval before becoming law. Groups that support tighter immigration control have said they'd oppose the measures. Corzine assembled a panel on immigrant rights with the idea of passing comprehensive immigration reform.
