(Reuters) - Connecticut joined other U.S. states that allow illegal immigrants to get a driver's license, with the state Senate narrowly approving the measure on Thursday without a single Republican vote. Democratic Governor Dannel Malloy said he would sign the bill, which passed the Senate by a 19-16 vote, after a highly divisive debate that lasted overnight. "This bill is first and foremost about public safety.

It was previously approved by the House, and no Republicans in either chamber voted in favor. -snip- Read more: Connecticut to allow illegal immigrants to get driving license | Reuters
