Someone should explain to our legislature exactly what their job description is. You are there to represent the people that put you in office and to vote the way they want you to vote and not what you think is best for them. When is the last time you heard a politician say, this is what I believe but the people I represent believe something different so that’s how I will vote? I know the next time I hear will be the first time.
Polls show that more than 65 percent of the people in this state don’t think giving driver's licenses to people that are here illegally is a good idea. But politicians believe they know better. Nobody believes these people are going to buy insurance or pay for car registrations. You don’t really have to since we don’t have a tag anymore that says our registration is up-to-date. So as long as you obey the laws, you will never get stopped. We are suppose to feel sorry for the woman driving around who doesn’t have a drivers license, and by the way, where did the license plate come from? Off the wall of some grocery store perhaps? You think cops will stop anyone after what you put East Haven through? There should have never been a problem with people hiding in the shadows because if you people in government just did your jobs, people would not be here illegally. The people I feel sorry are the ones that came in the right way and did the hard work because they want to be Americans, this is just a slap in their face. We all know what this is all about in the end, votes. That’s the next step! You think we are all stupid and maybe you are right.
I was born in this country, but I am sure somewhere in my family’s history someone worked hard to make this country what it is today. Despite all our flaws, we are the greatest nation and people should have to do some hard work to reap the benefits that our forefathers fought so hard for. People should want to come here to be true Americans and come in the right way and not the lazy way.
