Michigan plan to give immigrants driver's licenses allows concealed carry permits
A package of bills that would permit people who are in the United States illegally to obtain state driver's licenses in Michigan would also allow them to get concealed pistol licenses, critics said, if they lied about their immigration status during the application process.
The Drive SAFE (Safety, Access, Freedom and the Economy) bill package, HB 4410-4412 and SB 265-267, was introduced last year in both the Democratic-controlled state House and Senate. A similar package of bills was initiated in both chambers, then controlled by Republicans, in 2021 but didn't move beyond committee hearings.
Immigration rights groups have been lobbying for the legislation, including holding a Tuesday rally at the Michigan Capitol to urge the passage of the proposals in the lame-duck session before Republicans take power next year in the House.
If passed, the measures would allow non-U.S. citizens to obtain Michigan driver's licenses regardless of their immigration status or U.S. citizenship. The bills also would prohibit the Secretary of State's office from sharing information about those applicants with federal immigration authorities.
