Fox News: House Republican's bill would rip federal funds from states that give illegal immigrants driver's licenses
Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.) has reintroduced the Red Light Act, a bill aimed at withholding federal highway funding from states like New York that issue driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. She argues that such laws incentivize crime and obstruct immigration enforcement.
The Green Light Law, enacted in 2019, allows undocumented individuals to obtain licenses while limiting law enforcement access to DMV records. Tenney's legislation would empower the transportation secretary to withhold federal funds and reallocate them to states that repeal similar laws.
