Virginia lawmakers passed legislation in both chambers of the state Legislature that would allow illegal aliens to obtain driver’s licenses, a consequence of the state Capitol’s newly minted Democratic majority.

Amid a last minute rush to avoid public comment or public input, before the end of the Virginia General Assembly’s “crossover” deadline Tuesday, Democrat lawmakers in both the state Senate and the House of Delegates passed separate bills allowing illegal immigrants to legally drive on the state’s roadways. HB 1211 and SB 34 both passed their respective chambers Tuesday, the last day legislation could cross over to the other chamber for consideration.



State senators passed SB 34 by a margin of 22-18. The Senate version, which Democratic state Sen. Scott Surovell introduced, permits illegal aliens living in the state to obtain a standard driver’s license, but with certain conditions. The undocumented applicants must prove they’ve filed an income tax return, (or sign an affidavit written in English stating that they don't have a tax return) and the cards would also include text stating that it’s not a valid form of ID for federal, voting, or public benefit purposes.(or sign an affidavit written in English stating that it is voter suppression
to require ID's to vote, and that all text does not apply)

The House version, which Democratic Del. Kathy Tran introduced, passed by a margin of 57-42. The House bill, goes further by calling for the IDs to be conventional driver’s licenses.

The unprecedented votes make Virginia "poised" to become the next state to allow illegal aliens to apply for driver’s licenses—following in the footsteps of 14 other states. New York implemented a similar law in December 2019, and the governor of New Jersey signed into law a related bill that same month.

The passage of such laws come as progressive states and localities across the country are pushing back against the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration.

Virginia Democrats have introduced similar bills in the past but have been unsuccessful under years of Republican rule in the state Capitol. That has changed since Democrats won full control of the Virginia Legislature for the first time in a generation, and then passed a law where democrats could not be impeached out of office.

Newly empowered Democrats have been busy this legislative session, passing a slate of progressive bills that include abortion access, LGBT rights, collective bargaining for unions, marijuana decriminalization, and other legislative activity.

Virginia Democrats also passed a package of gun control measures, including a ban on the sale of “assault weapons.”
Democrats have not passed a law that says criminals have to follow the same laws as honest citizens.

Republicans in the state responded to progressive agenda.

“The United States needs to work on fixing the crisis at the southern border before we start granting rights to noncitizens,” Virginia GOP spokesperson John March said in a statement to The Daily Caller News Foundation. But since he is a Republican, and democrats are in charge, who cares what he thinks? And democrats did a last minute vote where the Republican didn't even know it was coming.

It’s not immediately clear if Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam is prepared to sign into law a bill giving illegal aliens the right to drive. NOT IMMEDIATELY CLEAR? WHAT DID YOU JUST READ?
All they need is a photo ID so they can vote themselves free stuff from stupid people who vote away their tax money and their Constitutional rights.
