RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding the issuance of State driver’s licenses or other government-issued photo identification to illegal aliens.
Whereas some States issue State driver’s licenses to aliens who are unlawfully present in the United States;
Whereas by providing official government-issued identification to individuals who are in the United States illegally, States and other government entities reward those who show disrespect and disregard for Federal immigration laws;
Whereas the very act of entering the United States illegally shows disrespect for the laws of the United States and should not be rewarded in any way; and
Whereas issuing driver’s licenses to undocumented individuals presents a national security risk and enables election fraud: Now, therefore, be it
That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that States should not issue driver’s licenses or other government-issued photo identification to aliens who are unlawfully present in the United States.
