(TNS) Once again, a Republican is sacrificing his party’s high moral ground regarding illegal aliens at the altar of political expediency, but at least someone will be around to pick our food.
Idaho state Sen. Jim Guthrie is proposing legislation that would allow illegal aliens to “earn” driver’s licenses.

According to the Idaho State Journal, there are, at least, some strict requirements. The illegal immigrant must undergo the same driving requirements as citizens, but would instead be required to renew their licenses every year.
Also, the licenses could not be used for voting ID purposes or buying liquor.
So what’s the catch? Guthrie says the legislation would allow Idaho to attract more agricultural workers.
“We have undocumented aliens in the country, and that’s a given,†Guthrie told the State Journal. “Until the federal government decides to address the illegal alien situation, (the proposed legislation) gives us the opportunity to maximize that workforce while they’re here, because they’re here anyway and driving anyway.â€
Guthrie says he has heard from constituents, many of whom are farmers. They say they haven’t been able to attract enough drivers to move their produce to market, let alone find enough people to pick it. Also, he says constituents are concerned that illegals are driving to and from their farms without licenses.
“One of the responsibilities of the Legislature is to be responsive to the needs of constituents, and I’m hearing a very considerable need for this from my constituents,†Guthrie said. “I genuinely think it will help agriculture, and I’m getting a receptive ear on the issue.â€
The Idaho Dairymen’s Association is all-in as well, helping the senator craft the legislation, even.
“I think it’s way beyond dairy and way beyond agriculture. I think it has impacts on all of society collectively,†Idaho Dairymen’s Association Bob Naerebout said.
“Quite frankly, if you take the time to look at (the issue) you should be supportive. You should be supportive of the fact that if we have people driving on the roads, they should be properly educated and trained to drive. We want people on the roads who have insurance,” he added.
Unreal.
So, what else can Republicans do along with Democrats to accommodate people who have broken our laws to get into our country in the first place? And what makes these people believe that legitimizing the transportation mode of an illegal alien isn’t going to come with negative connotations to Idaho and other states?
What else can we do to encourage more people to break into our country, other than make the effort bipartisan? How else can we keep wages artificially lower and take job opportunities away from more Americans?
If Guthrie’s legislation passes, it will serve as a model (and excuse) for other Republicans (and Democrats) in other ‘farm’ states to do the same thing. So while these idiots complain that the Trump administration isn’t ‘doing enough’ to secure the border, they will be working against his efforts by passing legislation that will attract more illegal aliens.

GOT SOMETHING TO SAY? COMMENT BELOW
Our Jackoff (R) Fakepublican governor asked for more rapefugees. Soros has his puppet-buttclowns in every branch of government. Every once Red state has some jackoff bastard Fakepublican carrying the water for dem-marxists.
They’re all TRAITORS. Hang ’em high!
When illegals or any non citizen get driver license it should read “NOT ELIGIBLE TO VOTE’ ON THE license. EASY
He’s no Republican- hang him high and don’t waste any time. Idaho will turn into Cali north.
Cali south is even worse.
Too late.
WTH. Corp-state traitors for 3rd world slave class.
Once again greed and avrice trump morality and ethics. Check who bankrolls this gentleman and you will quickly see who are his masters. No surprise here. An illegal aline is an invader not an undocumented worker. This man is guilty of treason and proffering acts of sedition.
wtf is wrong with these people? oh wait, rino.
They shouldn’t be in the state in order to EARN ANYTHING.
I think we need to have a citizen committee to pass a citizen bill that says ANY politician supporting illegals coming into the the country is a criminal politician… oh we already have that.
“(Farmers) say they haven’t been able to attract enough drivers to move their produce to market, let alone find enough people to pick it.”
That’s because they aren’t paying high enough wages. That’s Economics 101.
No one has a right to cheap labor.
You nailed it on the head!! I have been in some facet of agriculture including production. I would rather pay $5 bucks for a head of lettuce then pay through the nose for an illegal alien to reside here with all the damn benefits from the county, state and federal government..California has “areas all over the state that look like Tijuana. They don’t buy into our culture, language; they just buy into taking things and thing from anyone and anywhere and leave us with high crime statistics!
Selling out American taxpayers every chance these dirtfaggots get.
Taxation without representation for the last four decades.
You should see how these imbeciles drive out here —no insurance, professional drunk driving/stunt driving specialists, two stories a week of some culero driving the wrong way on our freeways, killing innocent people.
No more motor-voter imbeciles.
You want to see the 3rd world? Open your drapes in any of our 320+ sanctuary shitholes!
Where can you send contributions to oppose this RINO traitor? Don’t care if it’s a demo republican. fire his butt.
We pay the government to keep illegal aliens out of our country and they are not holding up their end of the deal. Washington does as it pleases and we are left powerless. They get their power via our tax dollars. A tax revolt by John Q. Citizen would get their attention. Marxist corporate CEOs would still pay but if we turned off the spigot the parasites in Swampington would see who is really the boss. Let’s do it. They can’t arrest all of us. It would take nationwide unity amongst us patriots. No fragmentation. Everyone must stand firm. After… Read more »
