The state’s Driving with Disability program has rolled out more prominent indicators on Texas drivers’ licenses and IDs that are intended to keep people with disabilities safe during a traffic stop or other encounters with law enforcement.

Jennifer Allen is the parent of a son with autism. The Samuel Allen Law is named for him. She says the updated program is the culmination of her work to educate state officials and lawmakers about communications differences and their potential impact on interactions with police. Listen to the interview above or read the transcript below.

    We are praising God that the state of Texas and different legislators are waking up and realizing maybe we made a mistake and that this was too much of a blanket rule to throw on everybody because not everybody is on the same boat

    But… wouldn’t god have told the legislators to do it?

    lol

    Problem: Too many immigrants, driving down everyone's salaries

    Solution: Limit work visas to jobs that pay a decent amount of money and (officially) the employer couldn't find a citizen for, don't allow immigrants on work visas to work for cheap so they wouldn't devalue local workforce.

    Problem: Now the immigrants can afford nice homes??? how DARE they???
