This May Be the Most Far-Flung Argument Yet to Reward Illegal Aliens
May 15, 2024
Illegal aliens can’t legally drive in Missouri. Legislation passed in 2009 specifies that applicants for driver’s licenses must be U.S. citizens, or have proof of lawful presence in the United States. Admirably, Missouri is holding fast against trends to the contrary. Nineteen states plus the District of Columbia now grant driver’s licenses to illegal aliens.
This, of course, does not deter mass immigration advocates from pushing their agenda and trying to systematically whittle away at the rule of law. To them, Missouri is simply another challenge to overcome. Now, thanks to researchers at left-leaning Washington University in St. Louis, they have a new argument to use, one that may hold the record as the most over-reaching, painfully desperate justification ever advanced for extending benefits to illegal aliens.
New research from the university, published in the lofty American Sociological Association’s Journal of Health and Social Behavior, finds that, “Birth outcomes improve in states that extend driver’s licenses to undocumented immigrants.”
