Why the heck does Utah give licenses to illegals?
Utah has long protected illegal immigrants and provided them with endless public benefits, including discounted tuition at public colleges and universities. Two of the states largest citiesSalt Lake City and Provohave official sanctuary policies that forbid public employees or law enforcement officers from inquiring about a residents immigration status.
The policy inevitably led to the recent murder of a Utah sheriffs deputy who was gunned down by an illegal immigrant with an extensive criminal record and multiple deportation orders. The Mexican illegal had several felony convictions and had been deported three times yet remained in the U.S. undetected because he lived in a sanctuary state. He shot the officer, a mother of two, during a traffic stop in west central Utah
