Minnesota Governor Tim Walz signed a bill that allows driver's licenses for illegal aliens in the state, reversing a 20-year-old law. The legislation is aimed at making communities safer. Similar laws exist in California. The open borders lobby supports such measures to prevent illegal aliens from being put in ICE custody for driving without a license.
