Pat Quinn: Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel

Quinn Dept: Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn signed Illinois' measure into law Sunday in Chicago. Backers, including Quinn, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and some of the state's top Republicans, tout it as a public-safety measure. They argue that required facial recognition technology is reliable enough to prevent fraud, according to Montreal Gazette. "This was a bi-partisan effort to pass an important law," Quinn said. "The president can say about his home state of Illinois ... we not only passed the Dream Act last year, we passed driver's licenses for those who are undocumented." CHICAGO - As Illinois becomes the fourth and most populous U.S. state to issue driver's licenses to illegal immigrants, nagging concerns remain about whether there are enough safeguards to avoid the identity fraud and other pitfalls faced by other states with similar laws. They hailed it as an important step for immigrant rights in Illinois, which approved its own Dream Act in 2010 to create a privately-funded scholarship program for immigrant students. President Barack Obama plans to discuss his plan to overhaul the immigration system during a trip to Las Vegas on Tuesday. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
