The economic value undocumented immigrants bring into the economy can be measured in the billions of dollars. The value they bring to our society by pursuing higher education, joining the military, or simply contributing to our national narrative is more difficult to quantify\u2014yet may have the strongest impact. But those who come to this country to work hard and seek a better life also deserve a life of dignity, a life without fear. They deserve no less than any one of us would want. That is why TRP and its partners have been at the forefront of this fight. We advocate for the undocumented individual and the country alike.<br \/>\nIn late November, a member of our staff, Erendira Rendon, appeared on CNN to discuss the importance of new legislation\u2014SB 957\u2014that would allow undocumented immigrants to apply for temporary drivers\u2019 licenses. The passage of such a law would help thousands of undocumented families while making our roads safer by dramatically reducing the number of uninsured, unlicensed drivers in Illinois.<br \/>\nIn January, SB 957 passed the Illinois legislature. It was a historic moment, and our elected officials chose to celebrate alongside TRP and its partners. <a href=\"https:\/\/resurrectionproject.org\/mayor-rahm-emanual-at-trp-celebrating-drivers-licenses-for-undocumented-immigrants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mayor Rahm Emanuel held a celebratory press conference at the La Casa Student Resource Center<\/a> the day SB 957 passed the Illinois Senate. And on January 27, Governor Quinn signed the legislation into law at a press conference at Instituto Health Sciences Career Academy.<br \/>\nWe are excited about the new legislation, but understand that it\u2019s only one step toward comprehensive immigration reform. We are hopeful that President Obama\u2019s proposals for immigration reform, and proud that our state has become a model for others to follow. We will continue to work with our partners and elected officials to ensure that the historic victory of the past month is but a prelude to larger victories that will preserve the rights and dreams of thousands of people.<br \/>\nIn this issue of our monthly newsletter:<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-12007 alignleft\"
