Senate Bill to Stop IllegalS From Getting Driver’s Licenses TO COMMIT MORE CRIME
Republican senators have introduced legislation that would block certain federal funds flowing to states that allow illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses.
Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) said Thursday that she, along with a number of GOP senators, including Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), Steve Daines (R-Mont.), Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), and Mike Braun (R-Ind.), have introduced the Stop Greenlighting Driver Licenses for Illegal Immigrants Act. The bill targets sanctuary states that allow immigrants to get driver’s licenses without proof that they legally reside in the United States.
“No town in America is secure from criminals and terrorists if our borders aren’t policed and federal immigration laws aren’t fully enforced,” Blackburn said in a statement. “This country is governed by the rule of law. We should not reward illegal aliens with driver licenses when they fail to follow the proper legal process.”
