Roughly 300,000 illegal aliens across Illinois will soon be eligible to secure standard driver’s licenses thanks to a law signed by Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D).
“This legislation is a significant step in eliminating the barriers to opportunity that many undocumented immigrants face,” Pritzker said in a statement. “We’re ensuring every eligible individual can obtain a driver’s license, making our roads safer, decreasing stigma, and creating more equitable systems for all.”
The law will take effect at the start of next year. Illinois, today, has an illegal alien population of about 680,000 — one of the largest in the United States.
Driver’s licenses for illegal aliens are vital for the open borders lobby because when illegal aliens are pulled over by local police, driving without a driver’s license is the first criminal charge that can put them in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody.

How does that work, exactly?
Good question. Republicans snoozing more than Jeff Sessions was during his attorney general gig. TRUST SESSIONS
I thought the law requires you have auto insurance. So, who pays for their insurance?
Got a mirror?
It doesn’t but it is feel good rhetoric for the liberals to virtue signal. Consider this. If the illegals didn’t respect the laws when they crossed the border illegally, why would they the laws of the road while driving? They won’t.
The taxpayers and everyone’s insurance goes up to pay for uninsured motorists, which 99% of these illegals will be. Actually I doubt even 1% of these illegals will opt to actually pay for insurance, when they will just drive uninsured.
The hordes of illegals leaving Florida will move there
They don’t need no stinking insurance
We already give driver’s licenses out regardless of immigration status here in Massachusetts. Hasn’t caused one problem.
theoretical you must be a United States Citizen to vote in Illinois.....
I’ll bet the insurance companies in ILLinois are so excited about what the Prickster is doing.
How about their customers? Half of my insurance premium is for “uninsured motorists”.
Duh.
Bingo. I imagine the Prickster will next make it legal for his illegal voters to drive without insurance.
Just another TRAITOR to his Country...
If they were shot on sight, a few would die, the liberals, media, etc., would scream hysterically, but the invasion would stop cold and millions of lives would be saved.
Exactly.
Illinois was already giving out driver’s licenses to non-citizens, but there was a key difference: the licenses used to differentiate between Americans and aliens. Now Pritzker has approved removing the designation that informed law enforcement that the driver was not a US national.
That is a huge difference.
You are absolutely right. And are these new drivers/voters going to purchase auto insurance, or are we going to have to subsidize them? I’m thinking that our insurance rates are going to go up…
The conservatives in Illinois are >meow<….
