Clyde Introduces Legislation to Prevent Illegal Aliens from Purchasing Firearms | 2024-10-08 | 2024 | 2024-10 | Republican | House | GA | Andrew S. Clyde | C001116 | clyde.house.gov | clyde | https://clyde.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27 | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Andrew Clyde (GA-09) introduced the No Guns for Illegal Aliens Act to prohibit illegal aliens from using government-issued IDs to purchase firearms. Currently, 19 states and Washington, D.C. offer driver’s licenses to illegal aliens. Additionally, Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) controversial Secure Docket Card pilot program is projected to distribute around 10,000 ID cards to illegal aliens released into the United States. Under the Biden-Harris Administration, more than 600,000 illegal aliens with criminal histories have been released into the country. Alarmingly, this includes 13,099 illegals convicted of homicide, 62,231 convicted of assault, and 13,423 convicted of weapon offenses. “Border Czar Kamala Harris has allowed criminal illegal aliens to enter our country and roam our streets,” said Clyde. “Meanwhile, radical liberals like Minnesota Governor Tim Walz are offering driver’s licenses to illegals — creating a recipe for disaster. As we await President Trump’s historic mass deportation effort, we must ensure illegal aliens with government-issued IDs cannot obtain firearms and wreak havoc on our communities.” “States like Georgia know the painful realities of illegal alien crime all too well. It’s imperative that we do more to protect Americans from dangerous illegal aliens, which is why I’m working to both prevent these criminals from purchasing guns and defend American citizens’ Second Amendment freedoms,” Clyde added.
