LYNN — It’s time to shatter negative myths dogging proposals to allow undocumented immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses, said state Sen. Brendan Crighton.
The Lynn Democrat and state Representatives Tricia Farley-Bouvier (Pittsfield) and Christine Barber (Somerville-Medford) support allowing state residents to apply for a standard driver’s license regardless of immigration status.
“The Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) cannot issue a driver’s license to anyone that cannot prove U.S. citizenship or lawful presence in the United States,” Registry spokeswoman Judith Reardon Riley said in a statement.
