Tennessee fires shot across the bow of secessionist blue states that issues driver's licenses to illegals

[Dekster]

Good on Tennessee. They're going to arrest anyone they catch with out-of-state driver's licenses issued to illegal border crossers, by other states.. The law took immediate effect on Thursday, January 1.

Tennessee BANS use of out-of-state driver's licenses for illegal immigrants​

"Tennessee has implemented a new law that prohibits the recognition of out-of-state driver's licenses issued exclusively to illegal immigrants, exposing such individuals to criminal charges if caught driving in the state. The law took immediate effect on Thursday, January 1.

The measure, House Bill 749 and Senate Bill 1086, aims to tighten restrictions on driving privileges for those without legal status in the United States, aligning with broader efforts to address immigration-related concerns at the state level. It specifically targets licenses from other states that are marked or designed to indicate they were issued to non-US citizens, making them invalid for operating vehicles in Tennessee. Certain states, like Connecticut and Delaware, have special markings on driver's licenses distributed to illegal immigrants, while other Democrat-run states, such as California, Washington, and Oregon, do not.

Under the new rules, illegal immigrants found driving with these invalidated out-of-state licenses could face a Class B misdemeanor charge, punishable by up to six months in jail and fines. Currently, 19 US states and Puerto Rico allow illegal immigrants to obtain some form of driving privileges, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, but Tennessee joins a small group—including Florida, Wyoming, and New Hampshire—in invalidating certain out-of-state versions.

State Rep. William Lamberth, a Republican and strong supporter of the bill, said during a debate on the House floor: "The sign says, 'Welcome to Tennessee, illegal immigrants are not welcome,'" per the AP. Law enforcement officials have been advised to verify licenses against the department's published list, and state troopers are expected to enforce the rule during routine patrols.

Recently, the Trump administration cracked down on states distributing driver's licenses to illegal immigrants following a significant number of fatal car crashes, which continue to occur, according to recent reports."

How would they know unless they require every person to carry their birth certificate

Good, if the blue states won't recognize another state's concealed weapon permits I see it as fair play.

It's a little too complicated for a simplistic solution

Driver's license reciprocity works because of standardized, easily verifiable systems (like magnetic strips/ barcodes) and a federal framework, while gun permit reciprocity is complex due to varied state standards (background checks, training), lack of a national database, and intense political debate over Second Amendment rights, leading to a patchwork of differing state-level agreements instead of universal recognition.

Driver's Licenses (Why it works)

• Standardization: All licenses follow a federal format, making them instantly recognizable and verifiable by any officer.
• Centralized Verification: Law enforcement can quickly check validity (expiration, status) through national databases.
• Federal Framework: The REAL ID Act created a baseline for state-issued IDs, encouraging consistent standards.

Gun Permits (Why it's difficult)

• Varying Standards: States have different requirements for training, background checks, mental health evaluations, and even permit types (concealed/open carry).
• No National Database: There's no central system to verify out-of-state permits, making quick checks difficult for officers.
• Political Conflict: Gun rights advocates push for national reciprocity (like the proposed Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act), while gun safety groups and some law enforcement oppose it, citing public safety concerns and state sovereignty.
• Patchwork System: Instead of federal mandates, states create bilateral or unilateral agreements, resulting in a confusing "patchwork quilt" where permits are recognized in some states but not others, notes this article from The Trace.

Do you always get agitated and frightened when confronted by your superiors ?

You have delusions of adequacy.

It's not difficult....Just lame excuses......You either have a permit or you are from a constitutional carry state. It's simply either/or.

Every cop car has a computer, they can save which states are what as a favorite.

The only constitutional right illegals have is the right to due process.

Actually, no "Right", in the bill of rights is contingent upon citizenship. They just aren't.

You did not read what I posted very carefully. It is not just a matter of verifying a person is from a state the issues carry permits

Requirements for a drivers licence are fairly uniform among states. States have different requirements for training, background checks, mental health evaluations, and even permit types (concealed/open carry)

There's no central system to verify out-of-state permits, making quick checks difficult for officers.

There are states that do you want gun totting , mentally unbalanced yahoos from some shit hole state , in their state, and that is their prerogative given the fact that public safety is the first priority of local ajnd state government .

Sadly this was too late to save a U.S. marine and his child. The marine lost his leg and the child was killed, by a Democrat POS illegal driving DUI. Yet another tax paying American citizen and child destroyed by asshole Democrat traitors.

I wonder if this will survive legal challenge under the 14th Amendment (interstate travel) and the Privileges and Immunities Clause. Being able to drive through a state is generally protected if you have a valid out of state license. Interesting.

If the courts rule that way, we will just turn them over to ICE for immediate deportation. WIN-WIN

So, which of the Bill of Rights applies? Don't know, do you?

Basically all the rights in the bill of rights applies to citizens, non-citizens alike. They have been referred to as God given inalienable rights. Possible exception (just off the top of my head) might be the 2nd Amendment, but I am not even certain, about that.

So, which right applies to denying illegals the right to drive in your state?

You are never certain about anything because you suffer from TDS.

You think driving a motor vehicle in OUR state, is a right? It isn't.

Never said it was, so why do you think illegals can?

The Feds revoked their licenses so they aren’t valid. I would think that would end the legal challenges.

Who said I did? You? I didn't, and you don't count.

Try answering the original question AGAIN!

Who said, there was a right, to drive in Tennessee, whether resident or not? Driving in any state, is not a right, but a privilege, subject to the laws of the state.
Are you sure you live in Tennessee? Are you sure you were a teacher?
Sometimes, we are not sure, you even grew up or were educated in this country. If so, it was certainly not in the State of Tennessee.

I swear you get dumber by the day! Answer the ******* question!

What right under the Constitution are you claiming we violate by denying illegals the right to drive?

Your original post said:

The underlined statement is a lie because they are not mentioned anywhere in the Constitution. You are thinking of the Declaration of Independence, dumbass!

if you have a valid out of state license.

Illegals can have "valid" licenses?
