When undocumented immigrants apply for driving privilege cards in Delaware they must submit their finger prints that go to law enforcement for a criminal background check.
That requirement was a compromise reached with law enforcement when the legislation was approved this year.
State Senator Bryan Townsend who sponsored the legislation and is co-chair of a panel that will review the law next year fears finger printing could keep people from signing up for a license.
But he told the Wilmington News Journal that it was a key part of the measure to get the legislation passed in the General Assembly.
A Pew Research Center says there are an estimated 20-thousand undocumented immigrants in the First State.
