Illegal immigrants raid the Michigan State Capitol to demand driver’s licenses

Illegal immigrants get freebies all the time, so it’s no wonder they feel entitled to the same things as taxpaying Americans.

A group of illegal aliens gathered at the Michigan State Capitol this week to demand that lawmakers give them driver’s licenses and called on state Democrats to push through the Drive Safe bill that would give them the right to drive.

More than a dozen illegal immigrants ambushed the state capital, shouting: ‘What do we want? Driving licenses! When do we want them? Now!”

“Driver’s licenses!” The audience sang repeatedly.

The Democratic-backed legislation, co-sponsored by Democratic Majority Leader Abraham Aiyash and introduced in the House, Senate by Democratic Majority Leader Winnie Brinks, is currently stuck in committees, despite the left arguing that illegal aliens should be able to get driver’s licenses so they can take American jobs.

Illegal immigrants were able to obtain driver’s licenses between 1995 and 2008, according to an opinion from Democratic Michigan Attorney General Frank Kelley. However, that changed when Republican Attorney General Mike Cox arrived on the scene.

Aiyash claimed last year that illegal aliens should have access to the same “basic freedoms” that Americans have.

“If you live in Michigan and have proven that you can be a responsible driver, you should be able to get a driver’s license regardless of your immigration status,” Aiyash said. “The safety of our residents should not depend on whether the federal government uncovers our broken immigration system.”

The Midwesterner pointed out that undocumented immigrants worked with Democratic activists to elect left-wing lawmakers who would grant them the so-called “rights” they believe they are entitled to.

Last year, Organize Forge have credited their efforts with bringing the state House to a one-seat majority for Democrats for the first time in four decades. “The electoral organizing of undocumented Michiganders has tilted the balance of power in the 38th and 103rd Districts, giving Democrats a slim one-seat majority in the House of Representatives and flipping seats that flipped the legislature,” the statement said. non-profit organisation. That, according to Forge, was “instrumental in changing the playing field and creating a path for the Drive SAFE laws to finally become law.” Through the Midwesterner.

The Democratic majority that took over state government in 2022 vowed to quickly make the dream a reality.

However, the Drive SAFE bills were held up and have remained so ever since.
