The Virginia General Assembly worked overtime through the weekend to pass a long list of progressive bills, including SB 34, which will grant illegal immigrants driving privilege cards.

Unlike driver’s licenses that are valid for years at a time, driving privilege cards must be renewed on an annual basis, and the cards would explicitly state that they can’t be used for voting or obtaining federal benefits, according to a Daily Caller report.

Democratic state Sen. Scott Surovell who introduced SB 34 on Sunday said in a statement, “Having identification also makes it more likely that individuals will come forward to assist law enforcement in an investigation. Other states who have taken action have seen a decline in collisions and hit and run cases. This is a public safety and quality of life bill.”

Today the Senate approved the final version of @JenniferBoysko, @KathyKLTran and my bill to give driving privileges to Virginians without requiring legal presence. This legislation will change lives for hundreds of thousands of our friends and neighbors. @CASAforall pic.twitter.com/tTM0hFldKo — Scott Surovell (@ssurovell) March 7, 2020

“If the State of Virginia truly wanted to improve public safety with unlicensed drivers, the state would discourage them from driving in the first place and not lower driving qualifications,” Matthew Tragesser, spokesperson for the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), said to the Daily Caller News Foundation.

“State and local governments should be on the side of enforcing our immigration laws, not undermining them.”

Elected Democrats in Virginia are preparing to give thousands of illegal aliens residing in the state “driver privilege cards” that allow them to freely drive without being pulled over by police for driving without a license.https://t.co/SlCkbikKPC — Mark Grant (@mgrant76308) March 10, 2020
