Isn't it sweet how the Dems want to look out for all those innocent Illegals.

A bill that was recently filed in Florida's House and Senate would allow people to get driver's licenses regardless of their immigration status.

Proposed in the Florida Legislature last month, the bill would let illegal immigrants use identifying documents like an unexpired foreign passport or a foreign birth certificate to get a license to drive.

Democratic Rep. Anna Eskamani, who sponsored the House bill, said she believes this legislation "helps to build that trust" with those who are considered "marginalized" in the state, and said it would make roads safer, according to the News Service of Florida.

“It doesn’t matter your immigration status. If you are on the roads, you should have access to a driver’s test and the ability to get car insurance," Democratic Sen. Jose Javier Rodriguez said.

The Florida Immigrant Coalition stated in a news release that allowing people without proper immigration documentation the ability to obtain a driver's license would "[cement] trust in law enforcement while protecting vulnerable communities."

The group says that Florida drivers would experience lower insurance premiums and safer roads, and a potential increase of $4 million in state revenue "if 75 percent of Floridians currently denied licenses due to their immigration status were able to receive a driver’s license."

Those seeking a license in Florida under current state law must prove they're U.S. citizens or resident aliens, the news service reported.

The word 'illegal' has lost all meaning. Otherwise, illegals would not be able to openly obtain state licenses. Bizarro world

And then they'll also be able to instantly register to vote while going through the process of getting their new driver's license, I'm sure.

I once had a Florida driver's license, and I remember registering to vote at the same time I got my license. That was about 2003. I'm guessing it's still the same today.

So illegals should go get a license, but getting any type of I.D. to vote is racist?

So that is how the Dems are planning on taking Florida in the next election. Hope this does not pass.

So, I could go down to Florida, present absolutely nothing to prove who I am, and get a Florida license just like the illegal aliens?

Illegals is a racist word now, I think they are calling them Country-fluid now or something like that.

I don't understand why we spend the effort trying to make them more comfortable. Being illegal should leave you in a constant fear of how to obtain employment and housing and the discomfort of looking over your shoulder every moment you are in public for ICE.

Bizarro world is right.

Not quite.

But really. How hard is it to fake a foreign birth certificate? Or any other obscure "identifying document" for that matter.

WTF?

Just... Damn!

just ridiculous

i think its time to abandon states that think they have control over immigration if they want to ignore federal law pull all federal resources and kick their ass out of the union

Illegals can get a driver's license in California now thanks to Moonbeam. Imagine that......

The progressive political mind thought is a disease and spreading quickly to other states sadly.

Do they have passports when they sneak across the border? Are they planning to vacation in Europe this summer, so they bring it along?

I'm SURE they're VERY concerned about their lack of auto insurance and only the fact that they have no license is what's holding them back or they'd rush right out and get it. They probably can't sleep at night worrying about it.

If the insurance companies balk at insuring these criminals, will the legislature force the companies to do so? Or, perhaps, allow them to drive without insurance and not be held financially accountable?

New Mexico has been giving illegals driver license for years. No birth cert. needed, all they needed was a rent receipt. Illegals came to New Mexico from as far as New York to buy a rent receipt and get a driver lic.
The feds uncovered this scam a few years ago. Ads were placed in different cities to get anyone a New Mexico lic. for a fee. I believe this why we all had to get new ID's with a star.

This is how you turn a State blue.

Yes, and you need an ID / fill out paperwork for Medicare, Wellfare, SNAP, etc.

But Voter ID is racist...

Washington State (or was it Oregon) would pretty much give anyone a driver's license as well as long as that person had a physical address. A Romanian man i know who lives in Florida (he's a citizen; has been for decades and came here legally) was married to a Romanian woman who was not here legally. She couldn't get a driver's license in Florida so he got her one from Washington. She traveled all the way there just for the driver's license. He had a friend who lived there so they used his address. It was a trailer so my Romanian friend called his wife trailer trash after that.

By the way, she finally became legal, but the point is some states make it way too easy for illegal aliens to get break the law and get away with it.
