Securing our borders is a chief responsibility of the federal government. One of the first bills I introduced in the U.S. Senate would help block illegal immigrants from securing a driver's license. Some states are acting as sanctuaries for illegal immigrants by not performing even a cursory check to see whether a person is in our country legally before issuing them a license. My legislation will take away ten percent of those states' highway funds if they fail to comply with the law and redistribute that money to states like Wyoming who do. We won't truly be serious about securing our borders and stopping illegal immigration until we stop the practice of issuing driver's licenses to the very individuals who are breaking our laws.
