Providing undocumented immigrants access to driver's licenses has become a focus of many immigrants' rights organizations and of communities that recognize the important role immigrant residents play as part of these communities. Progressive proponents of providing access to driver's licenses to all immigrants believe that doing so could improve public safety and could likely create a positive economic impact, both for families and the state's economy as a whole.
