Virginia lawmakers this weekend passed legislation allowing thousands of illegal aliens in the state to obtain driving privilege cards.

SB 34, introduced by Democratic state Sen. Scott Surovell, passed the state House of Delegates on March 7. The bill enables thousands of the roughly 300,000 illegal aliens living in the state to obtain driver privilege cards but not full-fledged licenses.
