Description
For many Minnesotans, a driver's license is simply a rectangular piece of plastic that gathers dust in a purse or wallet, pulled out only when writing a check, conducting a transaction or during a rare encounter with a law enforcement officer.
The crowd gathered on March 7, 2023, at the St. Paul Armory will likely tell you a license means more - much more. They cheered wildly as Minnesota Governor Tim Walz signed the Drivers Licenses for All bill into law, a piece of legislation designed to both provide economic opportunity and free undocumented immigrants from the fear they will be forced from the place they call home.
"This broad coalition of folks who call Minnesota home," Walz said, crediting the lawmakers and citizen leaders who have spent two decades pushing Drivers Licenses for All over daunting hurdles. "Who understand that making good policy and treating each individual with dignity makes all of us safer, and makes our state even stronger."
