From Philly.com:
Gov. Corzine said yesterday that he supported allowing illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition at New Jersey colleges, but called a proposal to let undocumented residents obtain driver’s licenses “problematic.”
Corzine made his comments in reaction to an immigration-policy report issued by a panel he created. The Blue Ribbon Advisory Panel on Immigrant Policy made dozens of recommendations in many areas. It will be up to Corzine and the Legislature to decide which to adopt.
Many of the ideas focus on breaking down cultural and language barriers to expand immigrants’ access to services and to make them feel more welcome in their communities.
