VIDEO — Ohio's Republican Senators Want Ban on Illegals Obtaining Driver's Licenses: 'This Insanity Has to Stop'

A Connecticut drive-only card. An Ohio stop sign. Austin Grimes is dead.

Summary

  • Breitbart reports Ohio Sens. Jon Husted and Bernie Moreno are pressing to end policies that let illegal immigrants obtain driver's licenses after a crash killed a citizen on an Ohio road.
  • Husted wrote Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. Ohio's BMV requires legal presence, but 19 states and Washington, D.C., still issue drive-only licenses without it.
  • In August, Washington G. Naula-Ochoa allegedly failed to yield at a Fulton County stop sign and struck another vehicle. Two people were hospitalized. Austin Grimes, 29, was killed. Husted said the suspect was an illegal immigrant who obtained a drive-only license in Connecticut.
  • Husted told Duffy and Mullin the drive-only programs are not lapses in judgment but extensions of failed immigration policy. Moreno publicly pressed Connecticut's governor on the same card.

Commentary

A Fulton County night mechanic still wipes diesel off a split knuckle and stares at a stop sign that should have been enough. He did not pay Ohio insurance so a Connecticut drive-only card could outrun a yield.

Nineteen. States. Plus D.C. One. Dead. Twenty-nine. The honest dad already passed the test. The got-away passed a window.

Look every working father who still waits at a four-way in the rain in the eye and answer this: if a drive-only card can kill in Fulton County, who still wants the next one printed?

If a Connecticut drive-only card can kill in Fulton County, who still wants the next one printed?

Naula-Ochoa. Stop sign. Austin Grimes 29. Connecticut card. That is a funeral, not a courtesy.

u/midwest_vet · 4h

I taught a yield so a kid would come home. End drive-only. Do not mail another card.

u/rule_first · 4h

Husted letter. Duffy. Mullin. 19 states plus D.C. Publish the four.

u/tokyo_ally · 3h

Allied DMVs still treat legal presence as the first stamp. A drive-only window is a bill.

u/docket_rat · 3h

Fulton County August. Two hospitalized. Moreno to Connecticut. File the jackets.

u/night_shift · 2h

I still lock a bay smelling grease. I want the next card to require a country, not a smile.

u/texas_mom · 90m

A 29-year-old should not die on a stop-sign road because another state printed a workaround.

u/gulf_watch · 55m

A drive-only pipeline is a second border in the glove box. The first funeral should have been enough.

u/press_clip · 30m

Breitbart printed 19 states, Grimes, Connecticut, and the Husted letter. Argue those nouns.

u/soc_lead · 15m

Kill the drive-only programs. Verify presence. A visitor who cannot stay cannot drive.
