| The League of Women
Voters of Illinois believes that the State of
Illinois should promote local community efforts to provide
orientation and counseling services for immigrants regardless of
documentation status. The State of Illinois should support funding
efforts for these services by encouraging federal funding and by the
use of funds from the state and local governments as well as from the
private sector.

should promote and fund educational programs and materials that seek
to inform all workers, including documented and undocumented
immigrants, of their rights in the workplace.

should provide "driving certificates" or some other form of
proof of

drive legally and ensuring that they would have passed a state

permit and encourage auto insurance providers to issue insurance
coverage to holders of such driving certificates.

state and local police to enforce immigration laws in Illinois.

ordinances at the state and local level that would penalize landlords
