Tennessee Governor Questions Rules Denying Licenses to Work-Authorized Immigrants
Original: Tennessee Gov. Lee questions state rules denying licenses to immigrants legally able to work in U.S.
Tennessee Governor Bill Lee is questioning state rules that prevent immigrants who are legally authorized to work in the United States from obtaining licenses. The Republican governor's comments raise doubts about policies enacted by his own party in the state legislature, which have drawn criticism from immigrant advocates who argue they block qualified workers from filling jobs and supporting Tennessee's economy.
Why now: Immigration policy remains a contentious national and state-level issue, and a Republican governor breaking with his party's rules draws attention.
