Claudia Tenney fights back on illegal immigrants getting driver’s licenses with new legislation

Published



Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) introduced a bill that would prevent illegal immigrants from obtaining a driver’s license in the United States.

The Red Light Act was introduced earlier this week to combat Tenney’s home state’s Green Light Law that was established in 2019.
