Oregon legislators are voting on HB 2270, which would implement REAL ID in Oregon and require legal presence to get a driver's license. Instead, they should vote YES on HB 2827 and HJM 11 which would block implementation of REAL ID in Oregon just as many other states have done. REAL ID is bad for immigrants and for all Oregonians.
From Causa:
The House Transportation Committee will hear testimony on REAL ID implementation TODAY at 3 pm in Hearing Room 357 at the State Capitol. This is the first time REAL ID bills are being heard on the House side and it is important that committee members hear from pro-immigrant voices.
Action: Call your own legislator and Transportation Committee members and tell them to vote NO on HB 2270 which would implement REAL ID in Oregon and require legal presence to get a driver's license. Instead, they should vote YES on HB 2827 and HJM 11 which would block implementation of REAL ID in Oregon just as many other states have done.

Key Talking Points for House Transportation Committee Members
* I oppose HB 2270 which would implement the REAL ID Act in Oregon.
* I support HB 2827 and HJM 11 which would block implementation of REAL ID in Oregon just as Washington, Idaho, and many other states have done.
* REAL ID is an unfunded federal mandate that will cost Oregonians millions of dollars and create a bureaucratic nightmare at Oregon DMV.
* REAL ID claims to make our country more secure, but will expose us to identity theft and invasion of privacy.
* I specifically oppose any legislation that would require proof of legal status to obtain an Oregon driver's license.
* Requiring a birth certificate in order to obtain a license would place substantial burdens on all Oregonians, especially immigrants, elderly, low-income, and homeless people and others who are unable to access these documents.
* Legal presence requirements would undermine public safety by resulting in more unlicensed, uninsured drivers on the road.
* HB 2270 does nothing to make us safer and would actually make our roads, our communities, and the lives of undocumented immigrant workers less safe and more insecure.
