Michigan Bills Would Give Drivers’ Licenses to Illegal Aliens
By David Jaroslav | FAIR Take | November 2019
Legislators in Michigan have introduced bills that would allow illegal aliens to procure drivers’ licenses. Despite support from Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D), there is a good chance these bills can be stopped by the Republican-majority state legislature. Already 14 states have passed driver’s licenses laws.
On October 31, State Senator Stephanie Chang (D-Detroit) surrounded by various open-borders groups held a press conference to push for her bill, Senate Bill (SB) 631, which gives illegal aliens driver’s licenses. Representative Alex Garza (D-Taylor) introduced the House companion bill, House Bill (HB) 5192. Sen. Winnie Brinks (D-Grand Rapids) and Rep. Rachel Hood (D-Grand Rapids) introduced SB 632 and HB 5193 respectively which gives illegal aliens state ID cards. Granting driver’s licenses or ID cards to illegal aliens treats them as if they are lawfully present and facilitates illegal conduct. It is one of the most useful items to create the appearance of lawful presence and allows illegal aliens to continue to live and work in the state in violation of federal law.
