GREEN BAY, Wis. (WBAY) -- Governor Tony Evers laid out a number of proposals in his Biennial Budget Address that are not directly related to money. One of those proposals would make illegal immigrants eligible for driver's licenses and state IDs.
The governor believes granting illegal immigrants the ability to get an ID will lead to safer roads and a stronger economy in the state.
An estimated 15,000 undocumented immigrants live in Brown County alone.
"I think having driver's licenses for people who are here illegally will make Green Bay and all of Wisconsin safer for all of us," said Chief Andrew Smith with the Green Bay Police Department.
The issue has been a conversation among law enforcement officers across the state for more than a decade.
"Right now, you have individuals out there that aren't trained. They come to our area -- and how they get there, not an issue that we're part of; they're here," said Kewaunee County Sheriff Matt Joski. "They're here raising families. Our children are going to school together. We shop at the same stores together. They're here. They're not trained as far as driving. They have no way of getting insurance."
A driver's license enables American citizens to buy guns, travel internationally and voice their opinions at the polls. The state ID card being debated would only give illegal immigrants the ability to drive legally without any of the extra privileges.
"I think it's important that we take all of the emotion of immigration out of this and look at it from a practical standpoint," said Chief Smith.
Illegal immigrants would be responsible for paying for the driver's license and required to go through all of the training and testing outlined by law.

Our former RINO governor used the same bullshit excuses. The REAL reason to get them DL’s is to register them to vote.
And then, a few years on, Wisconsin will quietly mail them all regular cards without fanfare.
What a piece of shit...Spit*
Motor voter in action.
Non-citizens deciding our elections.
Another traitor commiting another treasonous act. I call em like I see em.
Natural result of years of Bush League Republican support for open borders.

Well round them up and kick them out.
Massive vote fraud in Milwaukee County that nobody is doing anything about.
Same formula as everywhere else, fraudulent absentee ballots.

I have known a lot of people from Wisconsin over the years and any of them would be ready to take action against the Governor over this. Do they tar and feather idiots in Wisconsin?

The governor believes granting illegal immigrants the ability to get an ID will lead to safer roads (to the voting booths) and a stronger (illegal alien) economy in the state.
Don't know why they bother, everyone knows it is only about voter fraud by illegal aliens.
Jerk needs to be swinging a yoyo on the side of a blacktop road.

If they’re here illegally then deport them. What other laws will liberal Evers allow us to ignore? None if you’re a taxpaying resident, but all if you’re here illegally. More proof Democrats would like the USA to be a third-world country.
But first have the big guys tryout for “The Pack”, after all Brown County is where “Green Bay” is located.
