From MDGOP: Restore Driver’s License Security Provision to Maryland Budget

Maryland Republican Party Chairman Jim Pelura today released the following statement on the removal budget language during the General Assembly Budget conference committee that prohibited the MVA from providing drivers licenses to those who cannot prove they are legally present in the country:

“The language put into the budget by Senator David Brinkley to prohibit the MVA from giving drivers licenses to illegal immigrants was important not only for the safety of Marylanders but to ensure that we are in full compliance with federal law, “Pelura said. “Its removal by the Democrats on the budget conference committee shows Marylanders once again that Governor O’Malley and Annapolis Democrats don’t care about the public’s concerns. O’Malley and his General Assembly allies are more interested in funneling taxpayer resources towards those here illegally rather than protecting Maryland citizens and legal immigrants.”

“I call on the budget conference committee to reinstate the Brinkley language and for Governor O’Malley to show some actual leadership by protecting Maryland’s citizens and driver’s license security.”
