Flashback: VP Pick Tim Walz Smiles for Cameras as He Signs Bill That Gives Illegal Immigrants Drivers Licenses
The article discusses the recent announcement of Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate for the upcoming presidential election, revealing that she has chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz instead of the more moderate Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro. This choice has raised eyebrows due to Walz’s controversial policies, particularly a recent law he signed that allows illegal immigrants in Minnesota to obtain driver’s licenses, regardless of their immigration status. The article notes concerns among Minnesota Republicans that this legislation, combined with automatic voter registration for driver’s license holders, could enable illegal immigrants to vote, despite it being technically illegal. Critics argue that the legislation’s provisions prevent effective cross-checking with voter databases, relying on an honor system to enforce restrictions on non-citizens voting. The piece highlights the implications of Harris’s choice for her running mate in the context of immigration and voting rights in the state.
On Tuesday, a leak revealed who Vice President Kamala Harris has chosen as her running mate for the November presidential election.
Many were shocked to learn Harris opted not to pick Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, a more moderate-appearing candidate who could have helped Democrats carry Pennsylvania and other key swing states.
Instead, Harris opted to go with Minnesota’s radical Democrat Gov. Tim Walz.
That pick is already coming back to haunt her as Walz’s radical policies are brought to light.
Perhaps no video is more damning of the Walz pick than the following from March 2023, when the far-left governor signed a bill giving illegal immigrants the right to receive driver’s licenses in Minnesota.

According to CBS News, Walz signed the bill back in March of 2023.
As of September 2023, the law went into effect, giving illegals unfettered access to legal documentation.
Illegals weren’t even required to complete the necessary testing for a license in English.
According to CBS News, driver tests in the state are offered in English, Spanish, Somali, Hmong, Vietnamese, Russian and Karen.
Obviously, the act alone is immoral on its face for rewarding those who break the law to enter the country.
But beyond that, many Minnesota Republicans grew concerned over how the bill — in conjunction with automatic voter registration for all driver’s license recipients — might give illegals in the state free rein to vote in elections.
Though doing so is still technically illegal, it’s unclear how Minnesota authorities would be able to enforce such a restriction, given the way both laws operate.
The Center of the American Experiment, a Minnesota public policy think tank, elaborated on the problem in a 2023 report.
“Democrats supporting both bills brushed off concerns that illegal immigrants receiving driver’s licenses would be able to register and vote,” the report noted.
“The driver’s license bill specifically prohibits the Department of Public Safety from sharing this information with any other agency, including the Secretary of State, preventing the cross-checking of new licensees with the voter database.
“House Democrats are relying completely on the honor system to prevent a non-citizen from canceling out your vote.”
In blue states like Minnesota, Democrats like Walz appear to be doing everything in their power to give the illegal immigrants pouring over the southern border the ability to vote in elections.
And now, the chief architect behind that scheme is Kamala Harris’s running mate.
