ALL Iowa Immigrants Should Be Able To Apply For A Driver's Permit
Allowing ALL immigrants living in Iowa to apply for a driver's permit will make us more safe.
Why is this important?
Already, 13 states allow ALL immigrants to apply for drivers permits. By bringing the policy to Iowa, we will:
- Increase the number of insured drivers on the road
- Lower insurance premiums for everyone
- Promote effective law enforcement
- Increases public safety
Over one-third of new rural Iowans are immigrants. But many of these immigrants are prevented from obtaining a state issued ID because of their immigration status.
Multiple studies have shown that driver’s license restrictions, like those we have in Iowa, make us all less safe. They force immigrants to avoid contact with law enforcement which means fewer crimes are reported.
Please join the growing number of Iowans and support driver's permits for ALL immigrants.
