BOSTON – On Tuesday, July 26, Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker signed into law a legislative amendment ensuring that illegal immigrants will not be able to receive a driver's license in the Bay State.
Massachusetts law does not currently allow illegal immigrants to obtain driver's licenses. Last month, lawmakers attached a policy rider to the state budget intended to bring the state into compliance with new federal secure identification standards, raising concerns that the legislature had created a loophole for illegal immigrants to obtain licenses that were previously off-limits to them.
Following the hack of Democratic National Committee emails and reports of a new cyberattack against the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, worries abound that foreign nations may be clandestinely involved in the 2016 American presidential campaign. Allegations swirl that Russia, under the direction of President Vladimir Putin, is secretly working to undermine the U.S. Democratic Party. The apparent logic is that a Donald Trump presidency would result in more pro-Russian policies. At the moment, the FBI is investigating, but no U.S. government agency has yet made a formal accusation.
