Massachusetts Driver's Licenses for Illegals? When asked about it last week, Governor Charlie Baker vowed to veto a bill giving Massachusetts driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants. Introduced as the Work and Family Mobility Act, it would remove the portion of the current law that says people illegally in the country cannot get Massachusetts licenses. Baker said “I mean, the law that we signed basically said if you have lawful presence in Massachusetts you can get a driver’s license for the period in time of which you have lawful presence. I think that’s the right answer.”
