For years, advocates have long pushed for Michigan to let undocumented immigrants secure driver’s licenses.

That effort failed again despite the Democratic trifecta of state government control.
 

“We’re devastated,” said Yvonne Navarrete, policy director at We the People Michigan. “There’s just been years of efforts from undocumented organizers and from our nonprofit coalition, and for all of that effort to not come to fruition in the final moments due to lack of leadership and lack of organization amongst the Democratic Party, it’s disappointing.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

This was such a monumental issue here in Michigan, that this is the first I've heard anything about it.  Say! You don't suppose the democrats and media colluded to hide it, do you? *****rollingeyes*****
