I am a 16 year old girl living in central jersey who is originally from Mexico. I was adopted as a young baby by US citizens but due to the adoption agency’s error I have been living undocumented my whole life. Teens my age are all starting to get their licenses, but due to my status I am missing out on this important milestone. I want to be able to drive to the mall to meet my friends, and not have to burden my parents by relying on them for transport. My parents worry for me every day, but if this bill passed I could gain a bit more independence that other people my age have. Thank you so much for your activism and all your hard work

Had a Drivers Permit for a class D car license that expired in September 2018 due to my federal Employment authorization card that expired last year. For my Drivers Permit, I took the test in October 2017 to which it was valid up to October 2019 yet I can’t renew it due to NJ not allowing immigrants who lack federal immigration Status such as myself. If the proposed A4743/S3229 gets then immigrants who lack federal immigration can renew their licenses and Driver’s permits including my self.

I arrive Christmas and snow I have 2 children of 12 and 10 years old both in talent school with the best grades I wonder if one day I can drive a car and put them somewhere this cold is very difficult life so if we all make mistakes no one is perfect just ask for an opportunity we come to this great country looking for a dream we will be a punishment if but do not separate us from our families that more punishment than seeing my parents and not being able to bury them. for God’s sake car license for undocumented parents

If I am able to drive, I would be helping my children be better students and citizens. They are limited in the amount of activities because I am not able to take them. My husband works full time. I will be contributing to the states economy and I would be able to buy a car and pay insurance. I can probably find a better job. Thank you
