New rules of the road for Michigan
Only U.S. citizens and permanent resident aliens (a.k.a. "green card" holders) will be permitted to obtain new driver licenses in Michgan, according to an Opinion issued by Michigan's Attorney General, Mike Cox, and promulgated by Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land.
That effectively forces thousands of legal temporary visa holders - students, teachers, H-1B workers, L-1 managers, E-2 investors, refugees, asylees, etc. - into pedestrian mode.
Does this mean "economic suicide" for Michigan?
The local chapter of the American Immigration Lawyers Association filed a response.
