Mass. State Leg. Overrides Gov. Veto to Grant Driver's Licenses to Illegal Aliens

Published:  

Massachusetts state Democrats have overridden a Governor’s Veto on a bill that would provide tens of thousands of driver’s licenses to illegal aliens in The Bay State.

Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker vetoed the bill on the first of this month, saying that the plan “significantly increases the risk that noncitizens will be registered to vote,” as there is virtually no distinction between IDs given to citizens in the state and IDs given to illegal aliens.

However, Democrats hold strong majorities in the state House and Senate and secured enough votes to override the governor’s veto, meaning illegal aliens can begin obtaining driver’s licenses starting July 1, 2023.

Breitbart News reports:

Angel Mom Maureen Maloney, whose son Matthew Denice was murdered by an illegal alien in August 2011 in Milford, Massachusetts, told the Boston Herald that she will help fight the law.

“After the death of my son, that is why I have become involved, opposing illegal immigration and becoming politically active,” Maloney said. “… the issue with providing them licenses — it’s a magnet. It’s another reason to bring them to Massachusetts.”

Breitbart’s article estimates that the state of Massachusetts “is home to at least a quarter of a million illegal aliens.”
