Greg Abbott Faces Scrutiny As Texas Hands Vehicle Registrations To Illegal Immigrants

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is facing scrutiny as the state continues to provide vehicle registrations to illegal immigrants, The Daily Wire has learned.

Republican State Rep. Brian Harrison’s office sent a letter on Nov. 3 to the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles Board to crack down on state authorities after he “received alarming reports of illegal immigrants being able to register their vehicles” in Texas without a state license.

Since then, the Texas DMV “confirmed that they are and have been issuing vehicle registrations to illegal aliens,” Harrison wrote in a letter to Abbott Monday.

“While I appreciate DMV telling me they are attempting to determine the ‘full understanding of options available to address the issues,’ this requires immediate action,” Harrison wrote to Abbott.

“Texas should be leading the fight against illegal immigration, not incentivizing it,” Harrison wrote, adding, “This is unacceptable.”

A spokesperson for Abbott’s office didn’t immediately respond to The Daily Wire’s request for comment.

The Trump administration has worked to get illegal immigrant drivers off the roads through its mass deportation campaign.

Federal agents arrested more than 120 illegal immigrant drivers on Texas roadways in a single day last month as part of an effort to clear “our roads of dangerous, often unlicensed and uninsured, illegal aliens who should NOT be behind the wheel,” the agency said.
