Republican bill stops funding to states issuing DL's to illegals

[Ray From Cleveland]

Funny they do nothing about stopping them from working.

Of course they don't. And commies don't do anything about their children attending our schools, voting in local elections, giving them drivers licenses so they can get to those jobs you speak of, creating policy that prohibits their police force from working with ICE. But let's not go after Democrats. Let's go after Americans employers that hire them knowingly or unknowingly.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

All you Republicans keep going on about states' rights. Well the issuance of drivers licenses is a state issue, and the feds can't say dick about it.

Trump tried this before, the cities and states sued, and the Administration lost every case.

If driving privileges were restricted to that state only, you might have a point. But an illegal can use their drivers license in any state they decide to travel to. We don't want these drivers in our state of Ohio, but if NY gave them a divers license, it's applicable in our state as well even if we don't allow it.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Republicans in the House and the Senate are introducing legislation that would block federal funds from states that allow illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses -- the latest move in an escalating fight over “sanctuary” laws.

The Stop Greenlighting Driver Licenses for Illegal Immigrants Act would block funds to sanctuary states -- which limit local cooperation with federal immigration authorities -- and those that give licenses to illegal immigrants. Specifically, it would halt Justice Department (DOJ) grants, in particular those awarded under the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant, which is a top source of federal criminal justice funding for states.

The bicameral legislation comes amid a growing fight over sanctuary legislation. The Trump administration has been attempting to highlight attention to the dangers of the policy and has been shining light on cases whereby illegal immigrants have killed Americans.

“The United States of America should be a sanctuary for law-abiding Americans, not criminal aliens,” Trump said at his State of the Union address last week. Read more:

Republicans introduce bill to pull funds from states that give driver's licenses to illegal immigrants

Of course this is common sense legislation, but as we all know, Democrats lack that gift. They would rather see American business people locked up behind bars because their claim is those employers attract illegals to our country, but making them comfortable by issuing drivers licenses so they can get drunk and kill Americans is not luring them in.

With the Democrat House, it stands no chance of passing. But if there is a turnover in leadership after next election, I do hope Republicans don't let this bill remain defeated as they did with Kate's Law never to bring it up again. We'll see.

Lol good luck with that, snowflakes

You people think you're powerful, but let me ask.

What exactly have you won lately?

We'll see this November

And we can't wait.

What does a Drivers License have to do with immigration?

It raises the status of illegals closer to that of citizens.

No it doesn’t

It just shows they have the skills and training to drive a car.

Let them prove that ability in their country.

But let's not go after Democrats. Let's go after Americans employers that hire them knowingly or unknowingly.

Yes, because without them they don't come here to start with.

Maybe because they shouldn't be here in the first place yet alone granting them privileges???

Of course not. They don't come here for the industry of Birther Tourism. They don't come here for public aid for their children. They don't come here to take care of legal immigrant family members. They only come here to work illegally.

Given the estimate that we have 20 million illegals in this country, are you really stupid enough to believe that most or all of those 20 million are working illegally in this country?

More good news!

That's right because they can not survive here without the jobs. No one can live on nothing while waiting to give birth. No one can live on food stamps alone.

If the jobs aren't here, they don't come but the Republicans (and many Democrats) want them to come to fill jobs to keep wages depressed.

Someone is to provide for the ones that aren't. If the jobs go, they all go.

So are you really that dense to believe that all 20 million are working jobs illegally?

You would see how fast they would close their doors. The crime, the decrease in Canadian pay for their citizens, the cost to harbor them. They (and no other country) would put up with what we are. Only the Republicans want to put a stop to this.

They shouldn't be on the roads anyways. If they are illegal they should go home.

Why should the Federal Government (you and I) pay for illegal aliens to have a driver's license?

Immigrants must follow the proper federal process and obtain citizenship or lawful status before obtaining a state driver license.

Well, I doubt if Trudeau has the cojones to not take them. While we're at it, let's send them our leftists too.

Democrats have ignored the FACT that 'Illegals' are called 'illegals' for a reason ...

They have tried to ignore the fact that their just being in this country is a crime, making them 'criminals'.

They have tried changing the law....and failed.

They have admitted they do not have the Constitutional authority to do it themselves ... and then issued illegal / In-Constitutional edicts enforced by criminal judges who protect and enforce the liberal edicts / agenda from the bench instead of the Constitution and Rule of Law.

They have turned their backs on the law and have completely embraced lawlessness and crime by betraying US citizens / taxes-paying Americans by creating and running these federal law-violating Sanctuary Cities that protect and provide safe havens for the violent criminal illegals who prey on Americans.

They have released foreign murderers, rapists, sex traffickers, etc... back out onto the street to continue committing crimes against US citizens....refused to deport them ... have helped them elude ICE only to have them commit more crimes....

Its not that they do not understand that they are breaking US law by obstructing justice, aiding and abetting criminals, and facilitating these crimes - they do.

It is that they don't give a crap because their agenda is more important than US law....and they don't give a crap because the DOJ has never held them personally accountable for their crimes.

Governors, mayors, police chiefs, etc.... If they facilitate crimes by running Illegal Sanctuary Cities they should be jailed.

Congress needs to pass the bill allowing citizens to sue cities & their politicians / leaders who run these criminal schemes.

Not 1 US tax dollar should go to funding the facilitation of illegal immigration, Sanctuary cities, & continued crimes perpetrated by protected illegals.

Enforce the law....period. Stop letting leftist extremists who ignore the laws do so.

Driving is a privilege in this country that are not even extended to many Americans. Why should be be giving that extension to people who broke our laws to be here?

See, it's NOT State monies that pay for the DL's, so yeah, the Feds CAN say 'dick' about it.

 

[MeBelle]

So are white teenage boys but they still get licenses.

Trying to turn this into a race issue?

Guess what - teenage blacks, asians, hispanics and smurfs get licenses too because they live here legally.
