Illegal aliens are licensed to drive in many states. Unfortunately, many of the immigrants from other countries are not good drivers. A valid driver's license is an ID card which bestows a number of privileges other than driving, and opens a lot of doors that should be open only to U.S. citizens. This is especially true in the light of the relatively recent introduction of photo ID requirements at the polls. Unless the aliens' licenses have some obvious marking that shows the licensee is not a citizen, this could lead to a torrent of invalid votes. In my opinion, some states are allowing illegal immigrants to obtain licenses in anticipation of an upcoming blanket declaration of amnesty, and the state governments are trying to avoid the sudden development of massive crowds at the driver's license offices. One wonders how the Haitians are getting driver's licenses but can't actually drive. As the story unfolds, it seems as though Haitian migrants can't be trusted around house cats, in the public parks, or apparently, behind the wheel of a car. Watch the video below, from Tyler Oliveria, as he interviews residents of Springfield, Ohio, and pokes around the DMV: [Tweet with video clip] [...] [A]ccording to the Social Security Administration, noncitizens with TPS [Temporary Protected Status] "are generally issued an EAD," or an Employment Authorization Document. With an EAD, the SSA also acknowledges that a noncitizen can get a SSN — and boom, a noncitizen suddenly has the ability to register to vote. Also worth noting is the DMV worker's hesitation when asked if the Haitians are taking the same tests as American citizens, before stating that she's not "allowed to answer" the question; it's pretty condemning. Stopping Illegals from Voting. Let's look at Florida. Earlier this year, Governor Ron DeSantis signed SB 1718, the strongest anti-illegal immigration legislation in the country. Among other provisions to combat Biden's Border Crisis, the bill prohibits the issuance of a driver's license to anyone who does not provide proof of lawful presence in the U.S. and specifies that out-of-state driver's licenses issued exclusively to illegal aliens are invalid in Florida. Someone who is in our country illegally and has violated our laws should not possess a government-issued ID which allows them access to state-funded services and other privileges afforded to lawful residents. But it appears that the Florida DMV is processing driver's licenses to illegal immigrants between 6 am and 8 a.m. before the DMV offices officially open. If driver's licenses are the best voter ID in Florida, does this mean all these people will be able to vote despite SB 1718? Illegals Lining Up for Driver's Licenses — To Vote since they lack Cars? [A screenshot of a Tweet.] What's the Deal With Illegal Aliens on Motorized Bikes Without License Plates in DC? Many drivers of two-wheeled motorized vehicles are breaking the law in the nation's capital and don't appear to be facing any consequences for doing so. Individuals, many of whom entered the country illegally, are acquiring and driving motorbikes to do food deliveries in the District of Columbia, but many of the bikes do not have legal license plates, indicating they aren't properly registered or insured. D.C. law requires that a motorcycle or a motor-driven cycle, a motor vehicle that has a gas, electric, or hybrid motor no larger than 50 cubic centimeters (cc) and cannot go above 30 mph, be registered with the District's Department of Motor Vehicles within 30 days of purchase and display a license plate on the back of the two- or three-wheeled vehicle. The Perfect Storm: Drivers Licenses for Illegals + Noncitizens Voting + Mail-in Ballots + Private Funding of Elections + Partisan Hack SOSs. Does undocumented immigrant mean illegal alien? If you hesitated before answering yes, you are a victim of progressive doublespeak. Undocumented immigrants are illegal aliens. Noncitizens, whether here legally or illegally, are not allowed to vote in our nation's elections. It's a felony for noncitizens to vote, and the U.S. and state constitutions clearly prohibit foreigners from voting. Even so, "The Department of Justice appears to be using taxpayer dollars to have jails and the U.S. Marshals Service encourage incarcerated felons and noncitizens to register to vote," stated a letter to the DOJ from Mississippi's leading election official, Secretary of State Michael Watson (R). [...] According to an article in the Midwesterner, an illegal group claims credit for flipping the Michigan state House, and as a payoff, the party in power will seek to approve driver's licenses for illegal aliens. Connecticut Governor Wants To Give Noncitizens IDs That Look Exactly Like Those Used To Vote. Connecticut's Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont is trying to redesign driver's licenses so that those given to illegal aliens will be indistinguishable from those given to legal residents — in the same state where one city just had an election do-over because of an apparent cast of voter fraud. The Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles currently denotes on licenses if they are "Drive Only" IDs, a measure put in place to ensure ineligible individuals cannot vote, according to the CT Examiner. "Drive Only" licenses have a "DO" stamp on the front and information on the back clearly stating they may not be used for voting. Gov. Ned Lamont, however, wants to remove the marks because he's mad that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a law that does not recognize licenses given to illegal immigrants. "Connecticut prides itself on being a welcoming state," Lamont's spokeswoman Julia Bergman said in a statement, according to CT Examiner. [...] Florida passed legislation last year specifying that it will not recognize licenses from Connecticut and four other states that permit illegal immigrants to get the government-issued ID. Denver woman unsure of risk after selling car to undocumented migrant. A Denver woman said she has been left with an unexpected mess after she sold her van to an undocumented migrant. She learned the new owner of her vehicle can't register the van or insure it in his name. Kamelah Miller was looking to do some renovations on her home. So, her friend recommended someone who could do the work at a reasonable price. "Shortly after that, he was telling me he was looking to buy a car and I was looking to sell mine," Miller said. Miller gave him a price on her Volkswagen Routan and he gave her the money. "I signed over all the paperwork to him, and that was that. I went on with my life," said Miller. At least that's what she thought. "Three weeks after that, he called me and he said 'I'm not able to get registration, insurance, plates,'" she said. Small Town, USA learns the hard way that welcoming lawbreakers has negative consequences. [Scroll down] And there it is — with a driver's license in Wisconsin, these illegals then have the "right" to vote. According to the state's government website, all that's required to register to vote is a "Proof of Residence" document[,] which can be a valid state driver's license. From the website itself: ["]All voters MUST provide a Proof of Residence Document when registering. If you register to vote by mail, in-person in your clerk's office, or at your polling place on Election Day, you need to provide a Proof of Residence document. If you register online ... your valid State of Wisconsin driver license or State of Wisconsin ID card issued by the Wisconsin Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) qualifies as a valid Proof of Residence document.["] Then, when it comes times to vote, a person simply needs to show ID. If this isn't the most absurd slap in the face, then I don't know what is. People Here Illegally Are Getting Photo IDs. After releasing millions of anonymous, unvetted illegal aliens into the interior, especially into red states, Biden's administration will give them photo ID cards. They will probably vote illegally. Buried in the Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) annual report, officials confirmed that they are planning to begin issuing photo ID cards to border crossers and illegal aliens sometime this fiscal year. Flashpoints of a second civil war? ["]For more than a year, Breitbart News has chronicled how DHS is planning to roll out a pilot program that will give border crossers and illegal aliens photo ID cards, similar to a driver's license, upon their release into the United States interior from the southern border.["] This, knowing there is no way to confirm the identity of most, if not all, illegal immigrants. They'll be giving official government ID to military-aged males from enemy countries, establishing false identities for them. Unless government can be certain of the identification of these cardholders, data entry, storage and retrieval will be chaotic at best. We'll be storing false, misdirecting data on ghosts, criminals, terrorists and spies. These will be alternate social security numbers, rendering the real thing essentially meaningless. [...] This is nothing less than normalizing and legalizing illegal immigration. It's establishing a separate criminal class, yet a class that can never be prosecuted for their crimes. It's a blatant flaunting of the law. Blue states will use the cards, without any vetting, to issue driver's licenses, voter registration cards, and all manner of other entitlements. Every card issued is an abetment of a variety of federal crimes, and surrender of our national sovereignty. The plan to give all illegal aliens the right to vote. [Scroll down] The key here is the "state ID." Biden plans to hand out photo ID's to illegals. [...] Then blue state Governors can decide to accept those holding these photo ID's as valid voters. Illegal aliens will be able to neutralize the votes of American citizens- in particular, Republicans. I ask you- in what country in Earth can you enter illegally, get financial support, stay in swanky hotels, get a photo ID and free i-phones and vote as an illegal? Eventually this will marginalize all American citizens and destroy what it even means to be an American. Report: Joe Biden's DHS Plans Photo ID Cards for Illegal Aliens Freed into U.S.. President Joe Biden's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is reportedly planning to give photo identification (ID) cards to border crossers and illegal aliens before they are released into the United States. Leaked images of the photo ID cards for illegal aliens were first published by Adam Shaw at Fox News, showing space for the carrier's photo, a QR code, and information about the carrier, including name and age — similar to a driver's license or state-issued ID. The ID cards, part of a DHS pilot program, could be used by Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents at airports or to access public benefits. Tens of Thousands of Illegal Aliens in Massachusetts Rush to Secure Driver's Licenses. Tens of thousands of illegal aliens across Massachusetts are rushing to secure driver's licenses after voters approved a law to extend driving privileges to those in the United States illegally. Data from the state's Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV), published by Chris Van Buskirk of the Boston Herald, shows that about 100,000 requests for appointments to get a learner's permit have been placed since July 1, when the law took effect. Illegal Immigrants Allegedly Fleeing Florida After New Driver's License Law Goes Into Effect. Friday, a commonsense law passed by the Florida legislature that ends recognition of driver's licenses issued to illegal aliens by other states went into effect. This law is part of a package of laws passed by the Florida legislature that was enacted as a reaction to Joe Biden's refusal to react to the illegal immigration crisis at the US-Mexico border. The bill, known as SB1718, in addition to the driver's license provisions, imposes penalties on businesses that knowingly hire illegals and requires hospitals that accept Medicaid (edited) to ask about citizenship status. The bill also allocates $12 million to transport illegals to other, more welcoming states despite the bizarre "kidnapping" allegations hurled at Florida Governor Ron DeSantis by the left. Their licenses look like everybody else's — so they can vote. Driver's Licenses for Illegal Aliens to Cost Massachusetts Taxpayers $28M. Providing thousands of eligible illegal aliens with driver's licenses is set to cost Massachusetts taxpayers some $28 million, Gov. Maura Healey (D) reveals. Last year, Massachusetts joined a swath of other states after voters approved a new law that will make driver's licenses available to potentially 85,000 illegal aliens living across the state. Everton Candido, a 19-year-old illegal alien, had become the face of the driver's license law after he was arrested for allegedly killing 77-year-old Walter Wishoski Jr., a veteran of the Army National Guard who was born and raised in Malden, Massachusetts. Candido, who was driving without a license, allegedly killed Wishoski in a fatal crash. The Editor says... Minnesota Democrats Advance Giving Driver's Licenses to 77K Illegal Aliens. Democrats in Minnesota have advanced a plan to give driver's licenses to potentially 77,000 eligible illegal aliens. This week, the Democrat-controlled Minnesota state senate passed a bill in a 34-31 vote that will eliminate the legal residency requirement for obtaining a driver's license in the state. Instead, illegal aliens would be able to secure licenses to legally drive vehicles. The bill will now head back to the Minnesota state house for approval. Gov. Tim Walz (D) has said he will sign the bill if it reaches his desk. The bill overturns a prior law signed by former Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R). Minnesota Senate passes bills to restore felon voting rights, give licenses to illegal immigrants. Two more bills are on their way to the governor's desk: one to restore voting rights to felons when they leave prison and another to grant driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. Current state law requires felons to complete their entire sentence before regaining the right to vote, including probation or parole. HF28 will allow felons to vote whenever they are not incarcerated. [...] Republicans unsuccessfully attempted to amend the bill to prevent certain violent criminals and those convicted of felony voter fraud from regaining the right to vote until after serving their full sentence. Colorado 'Accidentally' Sends Out 30,000 Voter Registration Cards to Non-Citizens. In a move sure to raise a few eyebrows, Colorado has "accidentally" sent out 30,000 voter registration cards to non-citizens. That's according to a report from Colorado Public Radio. According to the outlet, the 30,000 cards were sent to non-citizens because of a mix-up with the formatting of the query involving DMV records. In Colorado, illegal immigrants are able to obtain a driver's license, which was apparently the nexus of the issue. Mass. voters on brink of overriding Dem law allowing illegal immigrants driver's licenses. Massachusetts voters will have a chance to repeal a law allowing illegal immigrants to obtain driver's licenses. The bill was vetoed in May by Republican Governor Charlie Baker. But in another case of ruling against the will of the people, the veto didn't stick. So strongly do Democrats in the state legislature feel about illegals voting that they went all in and overrode the veto. Nevertheless, the people will have the final say, as the ballot measure's approval was announced on Friday. The Editor says... Brandon Admin Seeking To Give ID Cards, Government Benefits To Illegal Immigrants. The Biden administration intends to provide illegal immigrants in the United States a temporary identification card so they can access government benefits while they wait for final decisions on their cases. The program, titled the "ICE Secure Docket Card program," would be funded with $10 million from the Biden administration's fiscal year 2023 appropriations bill, which states, "$10,000,000 for the ICE Secure Docket Card program to allow noncitizens access to immigration files and documents." "The ICE Secure Docket Card program is part of a pilot program to modernize various forms of documentation provided to provisionally released noncitizens through a consistent, verifiable, secure card," an ICE spokesperson told Axios. "The cards would feature a photo and biographic identifiers. It would also include 'cutting-edge security features." Biden Considers Giving ID Cards to Illegal Aliens Released into U.S. President Joe Biden is considering issuing government identification (ID) cards to border crossers and illegal aliens who are set for release into American communities as part of the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) expansive "catch and release" operation. Late last week, Axios reported that Biden is considering issuing the IDs to illegal aliens once they arrived at the United States-Mexico border. The goal is to make securing public benefits easier once they are released into the U.S. interior. The Sophisticated Deception of Massachusetts. [Scroll down] But what's happening now in Massachusetts is beyond awful, even by MA standards. (And remember, this is the state that first legalized same-sex marriage.) The State Legislature — bypassing the voting public altogether and easily overriding Governor Baker's pathetic veto — pushed through a new law authorizing driver's licenses for illegal aliens. Their public line is, "It'll improve public safety, since so many undocumented residents are driving now anyway. If they're licensed, we can keep track of their driving and hold them accountable." That's not the reason. In Massachusetts, as soon as a driver's license is issued, the driver is automatically registered to vote and their name is sent to the respective town Registrar of Voters and added to the voter rolls. The only way to not be registered is for the licensee to proactively opt out of being registered. DMV personnel are hardly qualified (or motivated!) to check the validity of immigration documentation for illegals, so there is no way to prevent MA's fraudulent voter ranks — all these illegals will become Democratic voters, obviously — from swelling to huge numbers, numbers that can't ever be defeated at the polls. The Editor says... Massachusetts Democrats Approve Driver's Licenses for Illegal Aliens. Democrats in the Massachusetts state legislature have approved legislation to provide tens of thousands of illegal aliens with driver's licenses — a vital tool for the open borders lobby. As Breitbart News reported, Gov. Charlie Baker (R) vetoed the legislation that would allow tens of thousands of illegal aliens in the state to obtain driver's licenses. Baker said he vetoed the plan because it "significantly increases the risk that noncitizens will be registered to vote." With majorities in the state House and Senate, Democrats have overridden Baker's veto to ensure illegal aliens can begin obtaining driver's licenses beginning July 1, 2023. Angel Mom Maureen Maloney, whose son Matthew Denice was murdered by an illegal alien in August 2011 in Milford, Massachusetts, told the Boston Herald that she will help fight the law. New driver's license for undocumented immigrants takes effect Saturday. Lives will change for hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants Saturday [5/8/2021], when the state Motor Vehicle Commission will begin accepting applications for driver's licenses from people without federal immigration status. After years of political fights and months of delays due to the coronavirus pandemic, New Jersey will become the 14th state allowing the state's 450,000 undocumented residents to obtain standard driver's licenses and non-driver identification cards. Virginia To Offer Illegal Immigrants Legal Driving Permits Starting Jan. 1. Illegal immigrants can begin applying for legal driving permits in Virginia on the first day of the new year, according to the state's Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). The state is the first southern state to allow people staying in the U.S. illegally to apply for such "driver privilege cards." Roughly 300,000 illegal immigrants in the state are expected to apply for the permits, according to The Washington Post. Illegal Immigrants in Virginia to Get 'Driver Privilege' Cards. Illegal immigrants will be able to apply for driver privilege cards in Virginia starting Jan. 1, 2021, according to the state's Department of Motor Vehicles. Advocates of the permits claim the issue is in the interest of public safety, NBC Washington reported. Virginia's General Assembly, which has a Democratic majority, passed the legislation allowing the cards in March. Noncitizens will be able to apply for driver privilege cards if they are a resident of Virginia; if they have reported income from Virginia sources in the last year or were claimed as a dependent; and if their driving privilege is not suspended or revoked in Virginia or elsewhere, according to the DMV. The Editor says... Under New Law, Cambridge, MA Police Can't Arrest Illegal Immigrants for Driving Without a License. The city of Cambridge, Massachusetts just brought the concept of sanctuary city to a whole new level. In an effort to protect illegal immigrants from ICE, the city has passed a new law which directs police not to arrest illegals caught driving without a driver's license. They don't call it the 'People's Republic of Cambridge' for nothing, folks. As a Massachusetts native, let me assure you that pretty much every joke you've heard about Cambridge is true. Virginia Lawmakers Vote To Allow Illegal Aliens To Obtain Driver's Licenses — They Will Follow The Example Of 13 Other States. I will say, opposition to voter ID laws is strange. If the problem is that not everyone can afford an ID or has easy access to the DMV, states should work to ameliorate those issues. Free IDs for those who can't afford one, full online registration. I say this because too many illegals end up voting in our elections. No debate on Election Security should go forward without first agreeing that Voter ID (Identification) must play a very strong part in any final agreement. Without Voter ID, it is all so meaningless! Blackburn Proposes Bill to Ban Funding for States that Give Drivers' Licenses to Illegal Immigrants. Senator Marsha Blackburn (R., Tenn.) announced on a conference call Wednesday that she was proposing a bill to block grant funding from the Department of Justice for local law enforcement in states with sanctuary policies that allow illegal immigrants to receive drivers' licenses. "When I look at the situation we have with immigration here in our country, I say let's leave the system in better shape than we found it, because it's a broken system," Blackburn said. She echoed the passing of the Real ID Act after 9/11 as rationale for additional measures. Homeland Security deputy secretary says New York is 'reintroducing the problem that caused 9/11' by passing law that gives undocumented migrants driver's licenses. The second highest-up person in the Department of Homeland Security said on Thursday that New York has 'reintroduced the problem that caused 9/11' by giving undocumented migrants driver's licenses. The Trump administration this week banned all New York state residents from applying to or renewing their membership to Global Entry and other Trusted Traveler Programs because of a new state law which allows undocumented migrants to obtain driver's licenses. The programs speed up travel times in airports and require an interview, passport check and fingerprint check before approval. No Citizenship Proof Required for Voter ID at DMV? The Wisconsin Department of Transportation wants everyone to know that getting a free ID for voting is easy. Maybe too easy. The DOT page detailing the Wisconsin ID card petition process advises individuals seeking a voter ID card to provide the Division of Motor Vehicles with the usual identifying information — a birth certificate, Social Security card, proof of Wisconsin residency (utility bill, government mail, etc.), and proof of U.S. citizenship. "If you don't have all or any of these, you can still get an ID for voting," the web page assures. Driver's Licenses for Illegal Aliens Likely To Pass In Virginia. Virginia is on the brink of passing driver's licenses for illegal aliens. This is not a new proposal in the Old Dominion, as both Republicans and Democrats have filed legislation in previous years, but then it was rejected in committee. However, now that Democrats control the House of Delegates, Senate and governorship, it is expected to see floor votes in both chambers and be signed into law. Delegate Kathy Tran (D-Springfield) has put forward language that would allow for any illegal alien to receive a driver's license. A Republican lawmaker in a red state is now proposing to give illegal aliens driver licenses. Once again, a Republican is sacrificing his party's high moral ground regarding illegal aliens at the altar of political expediency, but at least someone will be around to pick our food. Idaho state Sen. Jim Guthrie is proposing legislation that would allow illegal aliens to "earn" driver's licenses. According to the Idaho State Journal, there are, at least, some strict requirements. The illegal immigrant must undergo the same driving requirements as citizens, but would instead be required to renew their licenses every year. New York Democrats Move to Register Illegal Aliens, Non-Citizens to Vote. New York State Senate Democrats have advanced a plan that will automatically register to vote all residents who apply for a driver's licenses — which now includes non-citizens and illegal aliens — unless they "opt-out." On Thursday [1/9/2020], Senate Senate Democrats passed legislation that will automatically register all residents who obtain driver's licenses through the New York Department of Motor Vehicles (DMVs). As of this year, illegal aliens are able to obtain driver's licenses in New York, indicating that illegal aliens and non-citizens will only be excluded from the state voter rolls if they check the "opt-out" box before applying for a license. New York Floats Automatic Voter Registration To Illegal Aliens. New York may give automatic voter registration to illegals who have driver's licenses. A loophole in the new law granting driver's licenses to illegal immigrants could allow hundreds of thousands of people to fraudulently register to vote in New York. Trump Administration to Go After States Allowing Illegal Immigrants to Obtain Driver's Licenses. Chad Wolf, the acting Secretary of Homeland Security "is taking aim at new laws in New York and New Jersey that allow immigrants to get driver's licenses without proof they are in the U.S. legally, and restrict data sharing with federal authorities," according to a report from the Associated Press. Wolf sent a memo within the department requesting "a department-wide study on how the laws affect its enforcement efforts." New York is the 13th state that has authorized illegal immigrants to obtain driver's licenses. In addition to giving illegals a state-issued license, the New York state law actually prohibits the New York Department of Motor Vehicles from providing data to any agency that enforces immigration law barring a judge's order — which seems like a flagrant attempt to aid and abet individuals who have broken federal immigration law. DHS to investigate driver's licenses for illegal aliens. In the last few years, numerous states have already begun to, or soon will, issue driver's licenses to illegal aliens. Spurred by concerns about national security risks, Trump's Department of Homeland Security is finally investigating whether these licenses are pathways to dangerous identity fraud. The plethora of licenses in the hands of illegal aliens has worried those concerned about voting integrity. In California, for example, the current iteration of the "motor voter" law means that anyone who obtains or renews a driver's license is automatically registered to vote. Kearns: noncitizen registered to vote under Green Light Law. "They said it could never happen. It just happened," said Erie County Clerk, Michael Kearns. Kearns is talking about what he describes as voter fraud related to the recently implemented green light law. Kearns said last week, a noncitizen walked into the downtown branch of the DMV, applied for a commercial driver's license, but also registered to vote. "It goes to show that the person completed their transaction on a Tuesday and by Friday they're on the voter registration form," Kearns added. Don't Look Away. [Scroll down] And then they spent years throwing a screaming tantrum that we should abolish the electoral college, because they can't commit that level of fraud everywhere. Oh, but they're trying, they're trying really hard. Look at them completing the fatal wound that Motor Voter Inflicted on us by now giving licenses to illegal aliens: when motor voter mandates you also register people to vote without asking for proof of... well, anything, including that that's a real name. (Foreign documents are easy to fake, since most Americans at the DMV can't read the languages they're in. I got into movies at the student discount with my Portuguese bus pass for years [...] Also every legislature the Democrats capture becomes extremely concerned with the expense of elections and goes vote by fraud mail. Because vote by mail facilitates ALL the other fraud, including getting unvoted ballots from dumpsters. We know all this. Somewhere in our heads, we know all this. At least those of us who follow politics know all this. But even we look away. NJ becomes 14th state to pass drivers licenses for undocumented immigrants. New Jersey lawmakers passed a bill letting immigrants who cannot prove they're in the country legally get driver's licenses. The Democrat-led Assembly and Senate passed the measure Monday. Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy has said he supports the legislation as well.

Illegal Immigrants Soon Eligible for Driver's License in New York. Illegal immigrants in New York will get the green light for a state driver's license on Dec. 16. The "Green Light Law" narrowly passed the Democratic-majority Senate in June. It allows illegal immigrants without a social security number to apply for a state-level driver's license while shielding their information from immigration enforcement agencies. Sponsor of the bill Sen. Luis Sepúlvida (D) said he introduced the legislation to help working families and enhance road safety. The law was designed to prohibit the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) from giving applicant information to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or similar agencies without a court order. New York's 'Green Light Law' Going Into Effect — Allows Illegal Immigrants to Get Driver's Licenses. New York passed a law to allow illegal immigrants to obtain driver's licenses earlier this year but it was held up by challenges. Now it is set to take effect this week. In typical leftist fashion, supporters claim this is going to somehow make New York's roads safer for everyone. Could it really be about voting? New York to begin offering driver's licenses to illegal aliens this week. After the second of several challenges failed in court this week, the state of New York will begin offering driver's licenses to illegal aliens on Monday. This dream of the woke crowd in New York City is being delivered by Governor Andrew Cuomo and a closely divided state legislature in Albany. The potential problems this will cause (and has already caused in other states) are being ignored, as is the majority opinion of the voters. Drivers licenses for undocumented immigrants? NJ moving quickly to make it happen. New Jersey is moving quickly to extend driver's licenses to immigrants without legal status and others who lack paperwork. After years of pressure from immigrants and their advocates, lawmakers voted Monday on a bill that could get final votes next week. Gov. Phil Murphy has said he supports the measure. The Assembly Judiciary Committee agreed in a 4-2 vote to pass the bill after hearing testimony from undocumented immigrants and advocates, who said the measure is about creating safer roads and getting more drivers to buy insurance. CBP seizes thousands of fake IDs headed from China to New York. Federal officers recently intercepted nearly 3,000 fake driver's licenses and more than 3,100 blank card stocks used to make counterfeit licenses in Kentucky, according to US Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The IDs were heading from China to various locations in New York, the federal agency said, adding that the fake driver's licenses were seized at an Express Consignment Operations hub in Louisville, Ky. The licenses were for several states, including Florida, Michigan, Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey and Ohio. Huge illicit drivers license haul in Kentucky suggests a very established cartel operation. [I]f you're here illegally, a drivers license can make it a [...] lot easier to get a good paying job instead of a bad one. It can make you more money, taking that job away from some America and pocketing the difference, prompting you to tell everyone back home that the livin's easy. And it seems there are lots and lots of "accounts" for these cartels with clients seeking drivers licenses to service these days. Undocumented immigrants will have driver's licenses if new push for N.J. vote clears Trenton. Proponents of a plan that would allow undocumented immigrants to get driver's licenses in New Jersey say now is the time to get it done.

The latest Harvard/Harris Poll reveals overwhelming opposition against state's allowing illegal aliens to obtain driver's licenses, across racial, geographic, socioeconomic, and political divides. In fact, every demographic in the U.S. opposes driver's licenses for illegal aliens by a majority except voters who identify as "liberal." The Democrats' Blueprint To Steal 2020 From The Voters Of America. This summer the State of New York attempted a two-step process to allow the maximum number of people to vote — whether they were legally allowed to or not. The one-sided, Democrat-controlled State bodies passed the issuing of driver's licenses to non-citizens/illegal aliens. But that same group of Democrats also nearly passed the automatically completed voter registration of every license issued. Aliens would have had to "opt out." Just in case they didn't, the language also included a provision protecting the illegal voter and the authorities from any criminal wrongdoing. This measure passed one chamber, would've been signed by the governor, and had it not been for a true watchdog in the Assembly, would've already become law. With the enormous push by non-citizens storming our gates to get in, the corrupt powers incentivizing as much, you have to see the roadmap here could have dramatic impact anyway it is adopted. Oregon Governor Expected to Sign Illegal Immigrant Driver's Licenses Bill. Oregon is moving one step closer to allowing non-Oregon citizens to legally obtain driver's licenses regardless of their immigration status. Senators voted 17-to-10 this week to expand House Bill 2015 for the first time in more than a decade. Under that bill, the state would eliminate the requirement to provide proof of legal residency to obtain a non-commercial driver's license, a driver's permit, or an ID card. Cuomo: GOP will hammer us for illegal immigrants driver's license law. Republicans will try to hammer fellow Democratic lawmakers on the ballot in 2020 for approving a controversial law to provide driver's licenses to illegal immigrants, Gov.

Some Upstate New York Clerks [are] Refusing to Issue Driver's Licenses to Illegal Aliens. Some upstate New York clerks are refusing to issue driver's licenses to illegal aliens even after the State passed a law allowing illegals to obtain the documents. On Monday [6/17/2019], New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the Green Light Bill, which had passed the state Senate in a close 33-29 [vote]. The bill allows illegals to obtain driver's licenses in a move the law's supporters said would make roadways "safer." Supporters also said it was only fair to allow illegals a way to get to their jobs. But county clerks in Erie, Rensselaer, Niagara and Allegany counties, such as Erie County Clerk Michael Kerns, say the new law conflicts with federal laws. The Editor says... Obvious: Upstate clerks refuse to grant illegal immigrants driver's licenses. Some upstate New York county clerks are taking a stand against the state's controversial new law granting driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. Clerks in Erie, Rensselaer, Niagara and Allegany counties have said they won't be handing out the licenses, despite the legislation signed Monday by Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Erie County Clerk Michael Kerns said he believes the Green Light Bill, which passed the state Senate 33-29, conflicts with federal policy — and is ready to go to court with his concerns. Loophole in NY law granting illegals driver's licenses could lead to massive voter fraud. A loophole in New York's new law allowing illegal aliens to obtain driver's licenses could actually make it easier for them to vote, leading to widespread vote fraud in federal elections, the New York Post reported Wednesday [6/19/2019]. According to critics, the NY Board of Elections and the sponsor of the bill, it could lead to "radical" changes that will throw future elections into doubt in the Empire State, leaving some to question whether Democrats who passed the bill knew exactly what they were doing. Cuomo signs bill granting undocumented immigrants access to New York driver's licenses despite 11th-hour concerns. Undocumented immigrants will have access to driver's licenses under a law green-lighted by the Legislature on Monday and signed by Gov. Cuomo hours after he'd tried to tap the brakes on the controversial measure. Cuomo has repeatedly expressed support for the bill — but raised last-minute concerns Monday about whether the information about undocumented immigrants gathered by the state DMV could be obtained by federal officials and used for immigration enforcement. New York State Assembly passes bill allowing illegal immigrants to obtain driver's licenses. The New York State Assembly passed a bill Wednesday that would allow illegal immigrants to obtain driver's licenses. Passing the lower chamber of the New York State Legislature with a vote of 86-47, the bill needs only to pass the New York State Senate before heading to the desk of Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has expressed his readiness to sign it. The law would allow residents to use passports from other countries and other foreign-issued documents to prove their identities at the Department of Motor Vehicles. Oregon Bill Would Give Illegal Aliens Driver's Licenses, Possible Voting Rights. The Oregon legislature is moving ahead with a bill that would allow illegal aliens to obtain driver's licenses. House Bill 2015 "Eliminates requirement that person provide proof of legal presence before Department of Transportation issues noncommercial driver license, noncommercial driver permit or identification card." Poll: New York State Voters Overwhelmingly Oppose Illegals Getting Drivers Licenses. A majority of New York State voters, according to a newly released Siena College poll, overwhelmingly oppose illegal immigrants receiving driver's licenses. Sixty-one percent of New York voters say they do not believe non-citizens should receive driver's licenses. While 49 percent of Democrats support issuing driver's licenses to illegal immigrants, 84 percent of Republicans and 71 percent of Independents oppose such a policy. California DMV to be audited after lawmakers become suspicious of voter fraud. California's DMV has been rife with scandal. On Wednesday morning [2/27/2019], lawmakers agreed to yet another audit, this time focusing on the program that registers drivers to vote. "The problems with motor voter have risen to such a degree that there is a bipartisan effort in this," said Assemblyman Jim Patterson (R-Fresno). The department has admitted mishandling voter registration information for 23,000 drivers and double-registering as many as 77,000 others. NYC pushes to get driver's licenses for undocumented immigrants. An estimated 570,000 undocumented immigrants are currently living in New York State — the majority in New York City — may soon be eligible for driver's licenses. Rallying on the steps of City Hall, elected leaders and advocates are pushing for all immigrants regardless of legal status to be granted the privilege. "The one thing we are hearing from our immigrant communities from Brentwood to Buffalo is drivers licenses are the single biggest issue," said Steven Choi with the New York Immigration Coalition. In latest reversal, Gillibrand now supports letting illegal immigrants get driver's licenses. After initially opposing the idea of her home state granting driver's licenses to illegal immigrants, U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand has had a change of heart. "I think we have to make it possible for people to provide for their families," the New York Democrat said Wednesday, as she was leaving to attend her 2020 presidential campaign kickoff event. Gillibrand's new stand on the issue is in contrast from the position she took during her days in the House, when she opposed then-Gov. Eliot Spitzer's controversial 2007 plan to allow illegal immigrants living in New York to obtain driver licenses. Gillibrand Reverses Position on Drivers' Licenses for Undocumented Immigrants. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D., N.Y.) no longer opposes giving drivers' licenses to undocumented immigrants. "I think we have to make it possible for people to provide for their families," Gillibrand told the New York Daily News on Wednesday [1/16/2019] outside a diner in Brunswick, New York. "We need comprehensive immigration reform. Without doing that, you're not going to get the problem solved for the rest of the country." Gillibrand formerly opposed then-New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer's controversial 2007 proposal to give drivers' licenses to undocumented immigrants. Group to spend $1 mil to convince lawmakers to allow driver's licenses for undocumented immigrants. New York's largest immigration advocacy group is looking to spend $1 million to convince lawmakers in the state to allow illegal immigrants to obtain driver's licenses as President Donald Trump cracks down on unlawful entry into the U.S. The New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC) plans to increase its lobbying efforts and invest at minimum $1 million on TV, radio and targeted ads on social media, the New York Daily News reported Monday. This could be NYIC's biggest campaign. Illegal Aliens Fatally Separate American Parents and Children. In 2008, Colorado separated a Jewish boy from his parents. Marten Kudlis was separated from his parents while waiting for his mother to bring him his ice cream. The 3-year-old boy who had just been playing in the park never got his ice cream. Instead Francis Hernandez, an illegal alien driving 81 miles an hour, slammed into a pickup truck, killing the two women inside, and smashing it through the glass wall of the Baskin Robbins. Blood and broken glass covered the floor. Little Marten, who had just learned to ride a bike, died of a slashed jugular vein and was buried with a teddy bear. Francis Hernandez had been arrested 16 times in 5 years without ever being turned over to immigration authorities. That failure to enforce immigration law separated a little boy from his family forever. Illegal Immigrants Block Traffic in Grand Rapids Marching for Driver's Licences, Other Rights. Thousands of protesters marched in Grand Rapids, Michigan this week demanding rights for illegal immigrants. Blocking traffic has become a staple tactic for the left despite being extremely dangerous and annoying. California DMV allows illegals to vote: GOP chairman. California is responding to accusations that a new program allows illegal immigrants to vote. On April 16, the Golden State will automatically register motorists who obtain or renew a driver's license to go to the polls. "The New Motor Voter Program will automatically register customers to voter, if eligible, during driver license, ID card, or change of address transactions," the DMV said in a statement. "A customer can choose to opt out of the process. Undocumented Californians are not eligible to register to vote, and DMV has programming measures to prevent that from occurring." By Handing Out Driver's Licenses, Far-Left California Invites Illegals To Stay — And Taxpayers To Pay. 1,001,000. It's a big number, especially since it represents the number of so-called undocumented immigrants who now have driver's licenses in California, according to the state's Department of Motor Vehicles. Welcome to the Golden State's special brand of lunacy. 1 Million Illegal Aliens Have California Driver's Licenses. California has some of the worst drivers in the world. And there's a very good reason for that. ["]More than million undocumented immigrants have received driver's licenses, the California Department of Motor Vehicles announced Wednesday.["] Undocumented immigrants with licenses. What could possibly go wrong? More than a million illegal immigrants scored California driver's licenses, state DMV announces. More than one million illegal immigrants living in California have received driver's licenses, according to a new report. The state's Department of Motor Vehicles announced that as of March 31, 1,001,000 illegal immigrants have received licenses, The Sacramento Bee reported on Wednesday [4/4/2018]. More than a million undocumented immigrants have received California driver's licenses. More than 1 million undocumented immigrants have received driver's licenses, the California Department of Motor Vehicles announced Wednesday [4/4/2018]. Assembly Bill 60, authored by then-Assemblyman Luis Alejo in 2013, required California DMV offices to issue driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants as long as they can prove their identity and residence within the state. The law has led to 1,001,000 undocumented immigrants receiving licenses as of March 31 but doesn't give the licensees carte blanche to drive outside of California or fly across state or federal borders. Illegals in California with Driver's Licenses Eligible to Vote After April 1. Starting on April 1, 2018, illegal aliens in California who have recently obtained state driver's licenses legally, or obtained them previously by lying about their immigration status, will automatically be registered to vote. Since January 2015, according to the California DMV, A.B. 60, a law passed by the California Assembly, "allows illegal immigrants to the United States to apply for a California driver's license with the CA Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV)" [emphasis original]. As of December 2016, more than 800,000 California driver's licenses were issued to illegal aliens under the A.B. 60 law. Additional thousands of illegals may have been granted licenses prior to 2015 because they lied on their driver's license application forms and claimed they were in the country legally. (No proof of legal residence has been required by the California DMV in recent years.) New California law will automatically register illegal immigrants to vote... and it all begins on April Fool's Day! A new law in California that goes into effect this spring will automatically register people to vote — including immigrants who are in the country illegally.

The legislation, which goes into effect April 1, will automatically register people who apply for a new driver's license or new state ID at the Department of Motor Vehicles. ICE Busts 24 Illegal Immigrants with DUI Convictions in Sanctuary New York. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Removal Operations (ERO) officers arrested 25 illegal immigrants in Long Island, New York — 24 were convicted of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. One of those is an MS-13 member. ERO officers arrested one other person for an immigration violation. The illegal aliens arrested during the six-day "Operation Secure Streets" sweep are being detained pending the finalization of immigration removal proceedings. The criminal illegal aliens who are already subject to outstanding deportation orders, or who re-entered after being deported, can be removed from the country immediately. 1 Million Illegal Immigrants To Have California Driver's License By 2018. More than 905,000 illegal immigrants have a California driver's license at this point, and that number could rise to more than a million by January of 2018. By the end of June 2017, more than 900,000 drivers have been registered under California Assembly Bill 60, which requires only proof of identity and residency, not immigration status, in order to receive a license to drive a car. After passage in 2013 because of 15 years of lobbying by liberal pro-immigration groups, the bill was meant to "intended to bolster public safety and reduce penalties for undocumented immigrants who drive," according to The Sacramento Bee. Sanctuary for Illegal Alien Drunk Drivers? It is almost trite and redundant to state that there is a contentious debate in the United States between those who are pushing for the strict enforcement of the immigration laws and those who believe that certain aliens, notwithstanding the fact that they are removable from the United States, should not be subjected to the "harsh punishment" of removal. [...] One particular group of aliens who have received a significant amount of support lately from opponents of immigration enforcement are aliens who entered illegally who have been convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI), collectively known as "drunk drivers". Being Legal in New Mexico. I was in town recently, trying for the fifth time to renew my driver's license. Rejected, again. On the first attempt, I learned that NM has decided to up the ante for regular folks, and you can no longer go into the NM MVD office and get a driver's license based on the fact that you simply needed to renew the old one. New Mexico was one of the states, in a frenzy of political correctness and deference to illegal aliens, that passed a new law to give driver's licenses to people they knew were in the state illegally. But in the aftermath, they had fights about it in the state legislature about how to make up for the debacle they had created by causing all New Mexico drivers licenses to be suspect — because the TSA would no longer recognize them as legal identification for purposes of boarding a plane. [...] And apparently, the illegals do not have to prove squat to get a driver's license. How California DMV Could Settle the Question of Voter Fraud. California AB 60 driver's license holders — who are admittedly in the country illegally by virtue of applying for this class of license — are concerned that the Trump administration may use their AB 60 licenses to identify them for deportation, according to an AP story picked up by Oregon Live. According to Jessica Gonzalez, spokeswoman for the Dept. of Motor Vehicles (DMV), illegal aliens in California have nothing to fear. She told the AP that although the department makes "databases available to law-enforcement entities," that information would not include the legal status of driver's license holders. In response to follow-up questions from Breitbart News, Gonzalez may have inadvertently provided the Trump administration a way to get to the bottom of allegations of massive voter fraud. John Kelly: 'Even A Single DUI' Could Start Deportation For Illegal Aliens. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary John Kelly confirmed Sunday that federal immigration authorities won't shy away from arresting illegal immigrants who would have been ignored under the Obama administration. New categories of criminal aliens will be targeted for deportation, not just those who've committed headline-grabbing crimes like rape and murder, Kelly said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "Someone, as an example, with multiple DUIs," he said, is the kind of illegal immigrant that would draw attention from immigration authorities. "Even a single DUI, depending on other aspects, would get you into the system," he added. California Licenses 800K Illegal Aliens as Motor Voter Law Looms. Over the last two years, the Golden State has licensed over 800,000 illegal aliens to drive, and as the new motor voter law AB 1461 goes into effect in 2017, anti-Trump lawmakers are vowing to fight the Trump administration on attempts to enforce immigration law. AB 60 went into effect on January 1, 2015, inviting well over a million illegal aliens in California to apply for driver licenses with lawmaker promises that their non-citizen status would not be shared with immigration authorities. With the law about to hit the two-year mark, the California Department of Motor Vehicles announced that 806,000 illegal aliens have been granted driver licenses, according to the Bay Area's Mercury News. 14,000 of those licenses were issued in November of this year. Giving Driver's Licenses to Illegal Aliens Makes Illegal Voting a Real Possibility. A December 28 report in San Jose's Mercury News noted that two years after the implementation of AB 60, a controversial law allowing illegal aliens to obtain driver's licenses in California, an estimated 806,000 illegal residents have received driver's licenses, according to the latest Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) statistics. However, the fallout from that law is even worse than allowing more than four-fifths of a million illegal aliens on the road. On October 10, 2015, Governor Jerry Brown signed Assembly Bill 1461, the New Motor Voter Act, which will automatically register people to vote through the DMV, and could result in illegal aliens voting. Evidence scant California's licensed illegal immigrant drivers getting insurance. In the push to grant illegal immigrants driver's licenses, Californians had been assured that doing so would spur them to get safety training and insurance coverage. Nearly a year-and-a-half later, there's no evidence it worked. Radical Left 9th Circuit Forces Arizona to Grant Driver's Licenses to Illegal Aliens. Over the past few weeks, we've highlighted the growing trend of judicial amnesty for illegal immigrants at the hands of unelected judges. Among the many stories you won't read in the mainstream media today is that the Ninth Circuit has just taken judicial amnesty a step further. It has ratified Obama's amnesty by forcing Arizona to grant driver's licenses to recipients of the DACA amnesty — a complete violation of both national and state sovereignty. After Hiring 1,000 New DMV Bureaucrats, California Issues 605,000 Licenses To Illegals. After spending $141 million to hire nearly 1,000 new Department of Motor Vehicle employees to process driver's license applications in the wake of AB60 — the California law to issue driver's licenses to 1.5 million illegal immigrants — the results are in, and it's clear the bureaucrats have kept busy. Tuesday [2/9/2016], the DMV said it had issued 605,000 shiny new driver's licenses to illegal immigrants, with the full 1.5 million expected to be in place in the next two years. The total accounted for more than half of the licenses issued in 2015. But that's not searchable in a database, accounting to True The Vote. There's been a boom in driver's licenses issued to immigrants here illegally. An estimated 605,000 licenses were issued under the law last year, accounting for nearly half of all new licenses, according to the California DMV. Nearly 400,000 of the licenses were issued during the first six months. "We believe that this new law increases safety on California roads by putting licensed drivers behind the steering wheel," spokesman Artemio Armenta said. The Editor says... Almost Half Of California Driver's Licenses Went To Illegal Immigrants In 2015. Almost 50 percent of all California driver's licenses issued in 2015 went to illegal immigrants, according to recent state reports, wrapping up the first year of a state-wide program designed to provide Department of Motor Vehicle services to those without citizenship. In total, California issued 605,000 driver's licenses to illegals a year after the program started Jan 2, 2015, which is far more than the anticipated number, the Orange County Register reports. The program is expected to cost the state $141 million over a period of three years. In first year, California issues 605,000 driver's licenses to immigrants. California issued more than a half-million driver's licenses under a new law granting the identifying documents to immigrants who may be in the country illegally. Illegal Aliens Sue to Drive, Claim Discrimination of "Disfavored Minority Group". About a year ago Oregonians overwhelmingly voted against Measure 88, which would have provided special driver cards to illegal aliens. Voters throughout the state, which is largely represented by Democrats in Congress, fiercely rejected the initiative 983,576 to 506,751, according to election results from the Oregon Secretary of State. All of Oregon's 36 counties voted against Measure 88 by significant margins, the figures show. Measure 88 was put on the ballot after Oregon legislators passed a controversial law in 2013 directing the Department of Transportation to give illegal immigrants who have resided in the state for more than a year a special driver card. Disregarding the clear intent of Oregon's U.S. citizens, a group of five Mexicans, identified only by their initials in court documents, are suing the state for — get this — violating their civil rights by denying them driving privileges. Cojones: Illegals Sue to Overturn Oregon Ballot Initiative That Overwhelmingly Refused Them Drivers Licenses. Fox News is reporting that a group of aliens living illegally in the United States, Oregon specifically, is suing to overturn a ballot initiative in that state in which voters resoundingly rebuffed attempts to legislatively permit illegal aliens to obtain Oregon driver's licenses. The basis? Discrimination. The plaintiffs allege that the ballot initiative, Measure 88, is unconstitutional "because it 'arbitrarily' denies driving privileges based on membership in a 'disfavored minority group.' It [the lawsuit] alleges Oregon voters were motivated by "animus toward persons from Mexico and Central America." The Editor says... N.J. considers driver's licenses for undocumented immigrants. Proponents of the bill — which would establish a driver's license for unauthorized immigrants who can supply proof of identity, date of birth, and residency in New Jersey — say it would improve safety on the roads. Under the bill, the chief administrator of the state Motor Vehicles Commission would decide what documents could be considered. Documents for proving identity could include original or certified copies of identification issued by a consulate from the applicant's country of citizenship, a passport from the country of citizenship, or a foreign driver's license. Spitzer: I buried plan to give illegal immigrants licenses to help Hillary. In a stunning admission, former Gov. Eliot Spitzer says he buried a plan to give drivers' licenses to illegal immigrants just to help Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign back in 2007. The licenses became a key issue in Clinton's nomination fight with Barack Obama, who said he was for the licenses at a debate in Philly, while Clinton danced around taking a position. Jerry Brown Cooks Up A Recipe For California Voter Fraud. Just months after handing out California driver's licenses to illegals, Gov. Jerry Brown has signed a law to automatically register every driver to vote. Supposedly, it's to raise turnout. More likely, it's inviting fraud. So how does opening up U.S. presidential elections to the votes of any of the citizens of El Salvador, Armenia, Mexico or China sound? Foreigners have complained for years about wanting to vote in U.S. elections and in California. And now they may get their wish — unless California's Gov. Jerry Brown is somehow kept from enacting AB 1461, a bill to automatically register every recipient of a California driver's license to vote. Non-Citizens Will Now Vote in At Least One State. Governor Jerry Brown just sold out the American vote in California. He signed a new version of the Motor Voter Act that will register every eligible California citizen who acquires a driver's license or renews a license at the Department of Motor Vehicles to vote. This is after he made all illegal aliens eligible for diver's licenses. Eleven states allow illegal aliens to get driver's licenses. Overcoming fear, thousands of immigrants line up for a driver's license in California. For the past five years, Carmela Gonzalez was scared every time she got behind the wheel. "I would make the sign of the Holy Cross," she said in Spanish. "My mom would always tell me, 'trust in God, everything is going to be all right.'" [...] In March, Gonzalez walked into her local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) office, Mexican passport and a utility bill in hand, and applied for a driver's license as an undocumented immigrant — protected by the law AB 60. More Than Half of New CA Driver's Licenses Go to Illegal Immigrants. More than half of the new driver's licenses issued in California during 2015 have gone to illegal immigrants. "Of the 759,000 total licenses the DMV has issued, 397,000 — or 52 percent — have gone to [illegals]." The surge in illegal licensing is the result of AB 60 — a California law that went into effect at the beginning of the year. The law allows applicants to get a license by "only [proving] their identity and California residency, rather than their legal presence in the state." More than half of new driver's licenses go to immigrants in U.S. illegally. More than half the new driver's licenses issued in California during the first six months of the year have gone to immigrants in the country illegally, the state Department of Motor Vehicles reported Friday [7/17/2015].

Escaped Mexican Drug Lord 'El Chapo' Has A California Driver's License. Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman is currently on the run after escaping this weekend from a maximum-security prison near Mexico City. [...] El Chapo was given a California driver's license in 1988, according to a Drug Enforcement Administration report. El Chapo used the alias "Max Aragon" to get the license. Arizona again seeks to deny licenses to 'dreamers'. Saying the president acted illegally, an attorney for the state wants appellate judges to once again allow the director of the Arizona Department of Transportation to refuse to issue licenses to "dreamers." In filings with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Assistant Attorney General Dominic Draye acknowledged Arizona issues licenses to some individuals who are granted "deferred action" under various federal programs. Russian, Spanish-language ads fueling rampant driver's license fraud in Vermont. Foreign-language ads are helping out-of-state illegal immigrants fraudulently obtain Vermont driver privilege cards, the chief inspector of the Vermont DMV has revealed. "We found two ads out of state ... saying you can come here and get a driver's license," Capt. Drew Bloom, chief inspector of the DMV, told Vermont Watchdog. "One of them was in Spanish and the other was in Russian," he said. States flouting post-9/11 ID law, giving cards to illegal immigrants that mirror licenses. After the 9/11 attacks, Congress passed the REAL ID Act to prevent foreign nationals from fraudulently obtaining a U.S. driver's license — by requiring that any ID issued based on unverifiable foreign documents look different in "design or color" from an official driver's license. That way, TSA and other law enforcement would know the ID holder might not be who they say they are. But more than a decade later, several state and local governments are openly flouting the law, issuing ID cards that are barely distinguishable from a bona fide driver's license. Half Million Illegal Aliens Elude Deportation in Landslide California License Response. Almost 500,000 illegal aliens have applied for California driver licenses within the first three months of 2015, doubling expectations under the state's new AB 60 law.

Only 203,000 of the 493,998 applicants have been granted licenses to date under the law that took effect on January 2, 2015, reports the California DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles). The DMV has added extra offices, employees, and hours in preparation for an expectation of 1.4 million applicants over three years. Employees working on AB 60 applications also attended mandatory sensitivity training. A 'Privileged Cracker' Visits the California DMV. The other day I received a letter from the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) instructing me to renew my driver's license in person. The letter stated I was required to take a vision test and a new photo. The letter also provided me with a phone number to schedule an appointment. When I called the number, the representative told me that the next available appointment to visit my local DMV was 8 weeks later, well beyond the expiration date of my driver's license. The representative explained it was due to undocumented immigrants, what we used to call illegal aliens, now being able to obtain driver licenses, and that my best bet was to simply go to my local DMV office and see if I could receive a same-day appointment. Thank you Governor Moonbeam Jerry Brown. 110,000 Illegals on CA Roads with New Licenses. The new California law AB 60, an attempt to license the roughly 1.5 million illegal aliens in the state, has already licensed 110,000 immigrants since going into effect in January. When a similar attempt was initially made in Nevada, the illegal residents failed the test 90% of the time. The ACLU attests that the failure rate can be due to the language barrier; Gloria Cruz of the San Diego ACLU told ABC 10 News that the need to apply online or with the DMV's touchscreen had left immigrants with great difficulties to overcome. California applicants have faced similar difficulties with the written test[.] California issues 110,000 driver's licenses to immigrants in first 7 weeks of applications.

Overall, a total of about 236,000 immigrants in the country illegally began the application process during January, the state Department of Motor Vehicles said in a statement. About Those Drivers' Licenses for Aliens. You've got to admire the persistence of the Left. When they've got a goal in mind, they never give up and they never play by the rules. [...] We can't match the Left for unscrupulousness and deceit, and we operate in the light and not the dark. But maybe we, too, can be persistent. Driver's Licenses for Immigrants Spur Debate in New Mexico. Fresh off a political power shift, the Republican-led House of Representatives is poised to pass a measure repealing a 2003 law that made New Mexico one of the first states to offer licenses to immigrants regardless of status.

In Vermont, Drivers Licenses are a Magnet for Fraud by Illegal Aliens. As California battles a flood of immigrants seeking driver's licenses after enactment of Assembly Bill 60, Vermont's Department of Motor Vehicles has found issuing driver's privileges to illegals can be a magnet for benefits fraud. In the first week after AB 60 went into effect in January, California's Department of Motor Vehicles issued more than 11,000 driver's licenses and processed nearly 50,000 applications for people living illegally in the U.S. By the end of week two, the number of issued licenses more than doubled, reaching 25,300. Over the next three years, Golden State taxpayers can expect to pay as much as $220 million to give licenses to 1.4 million undocumented immigrants. It's permanent, 'dreamers' can keep licenses. A federal judge on Thursday [1/22/2015] permanently ordered Arizona to keep allowing young immigrants known as "dreamers" to get driver's licenses. U.S. District Judge David Campbell's ruling comes a month after he issued a temporary injunction forcing Arizona to start allowing dreamers with work permits through President Barack Obama's deferred-action program to get licenses. "This means they can keep their licenses," said Araceli Martinez-Olguin, a senior attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union Immigrants' Rights Project. TSA Whistleblower Confirms Illegal Aliens May Board Planes With CA Licenses. Illegal immigrants can board airplanes with California's driver licenses despite repeated guarantees to the contrary.

DMV cites low pass rate on first day of new driver's licenses. Spanish-language test takers fared worse than English-language applicants on the first day a law took effect allowing people who are in the country illegally to obtain California driver's licenses, according to the Department of Motor Vehicles.

In the early hours of December 1, 2023, at around 5:40 a.m., a Haitian national ran down 71-year-old Kathy Lynn Heaton, a Springfield grandmother known affectionately as "Mawmaw" by her beloved, in the quaint Midwestern community.

An Illegal Alien Car Crash That Never Made The Papers. I was talking recently to a cop in a small town in a northern state. The town has a lot of immigrants (both legal and otherwise) who work in local area farms. He told me they had a 16 year old illegal Guatemalan kid who crashed into a parked car while driving drunk. In an effort to get away, he sped off at high speed and managed to smash into a house. He was arrested and dragged off to jail. Well, he had his trial a few months ago, and the defense attorney was quick to tell the judge to please reduce the charges against the kid because he was in the country illegally and a conviction would reduce his possibility of being granted amnesty or political asylum. (Lots of judges — and prosecutors — are willing to listen to that argument.) The kid's illegal alien mother was with him there in court too. The case never made the papers because of the kid's status as a youthful offender. He likely didn't have a driver's license, was drinking underage, was drinking and driving, causing an accident, fleeing the scene of that accident, and causing another accident. For all this, he may not be punished. Illegal alien privilege! The Editor says... Bail Reduced From $1M to $100K for Illegal Alien in DUI Crash That Killed Washington State Trooper.

A recently rediscovered video shows Joe Biden as a 2020 presidential candidate inexplicably declaring, "I don't count drunk driving as a felony," to the astonishment of his stunned interviewers.

The Biden administration has done a lot of damage to immigration enforcement in the U.S., but perhaps its most dangerous move has been its consistent refusal to deport criminal illegal aliens who commit crimes right here in the U.S. The latest example of the Biden administration's malfeasance came late last month when the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) canceled a deportation request for an illegal alien who allegedly killed a teenager in a hit-and-run incident. Heriberto Fuerte-Padilla, an illegal alien from Mexico, was arrested in November 2020 after he allegedly drunkenly rammed his car into the car of 19-year-old Texas woman Adrienne Sophia Exum, killing her. Fuerte-Padilla then allegedly fled the scene before police officers caught up and apprehended him. After initially putting out a detainer for Fuerte-Padilla's deportation, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) rescinded the detainer after Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas dramatically reduced the pool of illegal aliens eligible for deportations. Mother of woman, 19, killed by drunk illegal immigrant criticizes Biden.

'My message is, look out for the American people first,' Rhonda Exum told Fox News during a panel of victims of crime by illegal immigrants when asked what she would tell Biden's team when it comes to border policies. [...] Heriberto Fuerte-Padilla, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, was driving drunk in November 2020 when he caused a car crash in Texas, killing 19-year-old Adrienne Sophia. The accused tried to flee the scene but was caught by police. DHS cancels deportation request for hit-and-run killer. Heriberto Fuerte-Padilla, an illegal immigrant, was driving drunk in 2020 when he smashed into the car driven by a Texas teenager, killing her. He tried to flee the scene, but police caught up with him. The Homeland Security Department initially said it wanted authorities to pick him up and deport him once Texas punished him, but then it changed its mind. Under rules issued in September by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Fuerte-Padilla doesn't qualify as a priority anymore. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement also told Texas that it was canceling deportation requests — known as "detainers" — on other illegal immigrants, including some who pleaded guilty to felony charges of evading arrest or had convictions for drunken driving, drug possession or domestic assault injuring a family member.

At the time of the crash, Hensley was the passenger in a vehicle involved in a separate crash when he got out of the vehicle. Then, Leal-Corona hit Hensley who was rushed to a nearby hospital and died hours later as a result of his injuries. The Death of a North Carolina Father of Two Sheds Light on Illegal Alien Crime. In the early morning hours of March 29, Cheston Gerard Edwards of Kinston, North Carolina — a father of two — was driving home from his girlfriend's house. He was traveling along Highway 70 near Pine Level in Johnston County, which is located to the southeast of the city of Raleigh. Unfortunately, illegal alien Rolbin Pacheco-Diaz was driving on the same highway that night — intoxicated, unlicensed, and going the wrong way — and struck Edwards' truck head-on, killing him instantly. He was only 36 years old. Edwards' family is understandably devastated. [...] Much less is known about the impaired driver who killed Edwards. The media outlets that reported on the deadly accident said nothing about Pacheco-Diaz's immigration status, although Joe Fisher of WRAL News did briefly mention that "investigators are working" to figure it out. 'Angel Mom' Says Biden [is] Creating [a] 'Super Highway' to [the] Border.

Brandon, a sergeant on the Mesa police force, was 32 years old. "Biden decides he's going to open our borders, and every one of our lives are in jeopardy," she said. "It's just going to be a super highway now." President Joe Biden has issued executive orders to stop border wall construction, stop the Remain in Mexico program — which will restart the practice of "catch-and-release" — and pause deportations, among other actions. The Editor says... GOP Senators: Obama Era Policies Kept DACA Illegal Alien Accused of Killing 4 Officers in U.S.. Ivan Robles Navejas, a 28-year-old illegal alien from Mexico killed 4 police officers using his car. The suspect was drunk at the time, but he should not have been in the country at all.

He was charged with six counts of intoxication, assault with a vehicle, and three counts of intoxicated vehicular manslaughter.

There Will Be No Marches To Commemorate The Death Of Phillip Thiessen. Imagine if you will, seeing the following story breaking on the news out of Wisconsin during all of the racial tension and rioting going on. A White guy in a truck is driving along the road when he sees a bicyclist approaching in the other direction. The bicycle rider appears to be dark-skinned, either Black or Hispanic. The White driver makes a spur-of-moment decision and intentionally swerves into the other lane, striking and instantly killing the bicyclist. When the police question him later, he freely admits that he ran the guy down intentionally because of his race and he'd gotten up that morning thinking about killing a person of color. That would be national news for weeks to come. Many other issues would be pushed off the front pages to make room for the coverage. But this is one story that's actually true, and yet the odds are you haven't heard a peep about it unless you follow one of a handful of conservative sites or live in the same town. That's because the driver of the truck was Daniel Navarro, a 27-year-old Hispanic man of Mexican descent. And the victim (who was actually on a motorcycle) was Phillip Thiessen, a Marine, former Police Officer and worker for the Wisconsin Department of Justice. He was also White. National Review has more of the details that make the media silence on this story so glaring. Illegal immigrant who avoided deportation under Obama accused of killing three in DUI.

As usual when these things happen, the only thing you hear from the media is crickets. According to Denver's local ABC station, on August 2, Miguel Ramirez Valiente, from El Salvador "went off the side of the road on Hwy 83, over-corrected into the opposite lane and hit Sean Buchanan," killing the father of five, who was meeting his wife that morning at their new house they had just bought.

An Illegal Immigrant Almost Killed My Family. [Scroll down] Thankfully, nobody in my family was seriously hurt, though my sister had braces and her mouth was bloodied. By providence, the younger kids sitting in the back had been wearing their seat belts. A few people in our vehicle had back pain after the accident, and I still have a herniated disk with the accompanying neck, shoulder, and arm issues, a result of the airbag blowing my arm back as my body went forward (my right arm and hand ache as I write this today).

[...] More illegal immigrants deported for traffic offenses. Problem for Obama?

Unlicensed to Kill. Approximately 20 percent of all car accidents nationwide involve a driver who lacks a valid license. In the ten states with the highest concentration of illegal immigrants, (according to FAIR's most recent estimates: California, Texas, New York, Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Georgia, North Carolina, New Jersey and Colorado) 14.6 percent of driving fatalities are caused by an unlicensed or improperly licensed driver. Furthermore, the percentage of those killed by hit-and-run drivers is higher in these states, 6.1 percent compared the national average of 5.3 percent. How open borders turn Americans into roadkill. A report by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Study found 20 percent of fatal accidents involve at least one driver who lacks a valid license.

Statistically, that makes them an even greater danger on the road than drivers whose licenses have been suspended or revoked — and nearly as dangerous as drunk drivers.

Nearly all of the vehicles driven by migrants were registered to other drivers, 93% of the vehicles had false out-of-state tags. In 2003 and 2004, 128 of the 395 people, 32.4%, arrested on DUI charges were Hispanic, a rate six times greater than the Hispanic portion of the population.

Furthermore, the percentage of those killed by hit-and-run drivers is higher in these states, 6.1 percent compared the national average of 5.3 percent. Needless to say, because data on whether drivers were licensed or uninsured or inebriated can't be collected on those who leave the scene of an accident, the data would likely show a higher incidence of unlicensed and uninsured drivers causing accidents if that data were available.
