Virginia Democrats Now Plan to Issue Driver’s Licenses to Illegal Immigrants

[Anonymous]

Democrats in Virginia’s legislature are “removing the citizenship and legal presence requirements for obtaining a driver’s license” in the Commonwealth.

The bills, known as HB 1211 in the House and SB 643 in the Senate, are sponsored by Kathy Tran and Jennifer Boysko respectively, both Northern Virginia Democrats.

Right now Virginia illegal immigrants have to get a DL in Maryland and then registering and insuring a car in VA is hinky. VA wants it's taxes on cars.

They drive anyway, at least now they would presumably need to pass a test and also be able to get car insurance for the cars that they have been operating as unlicensed and uninsured drivers.

High time we started using drivers licenses and drivers licenses rather than as identification cards.

You want illegal immigrants to have a VA DL. If they get in an accident with you they can give a false name. You don't even know their real name.

Which do you prefer, drivers who are licensed or drivers who are unlicensed? I prefer drivers who are licensed.

They prefer to live in Willy Wonka's CandyLand where they can pretend that the only undocumented immigrants are Oompa Loompas.

Meanwhile, the rest of us in reality-based world want undocumented immigrants to have a license, insurance, and registration so they can be found if they hit my car. And also so they pay their taxes.

Sounds like a good idea.

Does it really matter though if they don't have insurance?

Right now a lot of them get DL in Maryland as PP said and then have MD plates/can’t or don’t register their cars in VA because that would require getting a VA DL. We had a huge fight about this in my condo association with some renters because our condo documents said that you have to have VA tags to get a parking permit.

Of course they do. Because all you have to do to vote is show a driver's license.

You are assuming they will not immediately drop their insurance and will re-register.

They are driving anyway. Making it legal means there is more accountability involved. This is a good thing.

The whole legal presence thing is in response to more than half the 911 hijackers having VA licenses.

I guess that's no longer a problem anymore.
