Maryland bill opposes illegals as drivers

ANNAPOLIS — A Republican senator plans to introduce a bill today during the General Assembly's special session that would bar illegal aliens from getting driver's licenses in Maryland.
Sen. E.J. Pipkin, Eastern Shore Republican, said he will introduce the measure with a second bill calling on officials to conduct a study to determine how much the state spends providing services to illegal aliens.
"The Annapolis tax-and-spend crowd has spent the last three weeks raising taxes. I introduced a billion dollars in spending cuts, and the Senate refused to adopt them," Mr. Pipkin said. "I am now asking the legislature to take action concerning illegal aliens and their impact on the state's budget."
Mr. Pipkin's proposal would bar illegal aliens from receiving any state aid, including in-state tuition at Maryland colleges and universities.
But legislative leaders yesterday said it was unlikely the bills would be considered during the special session. No comments No trackbacks
