New legislation introduced by Rep. Troy E. Nehls (R-Texas) aims to block a Biden administration program that seeks to provide identification cards to illegal immigrants. It also seeks to prevent these individuals from accessing public benefits.
“This summer, President Biden’s DHS [Department of Homeland Security] is expected to launch the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Secure Docket Card program, which will doll out photo identity cards to thousands of illegal aliens across the country,” Mr. Nehls said in a May 16 press release. “This program would be funded directly by American taxpayer dollars. Issuing photo identity cards to illegal aliens will allow them to further take advantage of the American people and abuse local, state, and federal government benefits, such as housing, healthcare, and transportation.”
