Maryland’s Illegal Immigrant Drivers – The Enablers Have Bloody Hands Too

The horrifying Thanksgiving Day 2006 killing by a drunken driver of two Maryland citizens, Cpl. Brian Matthews of Columbia and Jennifer Bower of Montgomery Village , made national headlines. Cpl. Matthews, an Iraqi war hero and Ms. Bower, a graduate of Hood College , were victims of Eduardo Raul Morales-Soriano, an illegal immigrant from Mexico who has had previous run-ins with the law.

Yet thanks to the help of taxpayer subsidized organizations like CASA of Maryland and a long list of Maryland Senate and House legislators, criminals like Morales-Soriano are able to obtain driver’s licenses, as well as live and work in the great State of Maryland . Forty-three states in America require serious proof of citizenship to obtain the privilege of a license. Maryland and six other states do not.

Despite the carnage on our roads, Maryland legislators like Del. Ana Sol Gutierrez (D-Dist 18), Del. Joseph Vallario (D-Dist 27A), Del. Jane Lawton (D-Dist 18) and even newly elected Saqib Ali (D-Dist 39) seemingly have no problem granting licenses to persons who should not even be in Maryland, let alone behind the wheel of a car. Morales-Soriano did not have the only set of hands on the bloody steering wheel.

Now CASA’s Executive Director, Gustavo Torres, a ranking member of Governor Martin O’Malley’s transition team wants to take matters a step further for his illegal immigrant clientele. CASA is promoting two separate Maryland IDs at tremendous cost to the taxpayers to circumvent the Federal REAL ID Act requirements triggered in 2008. CASA wants to keep the current porous license system in place so illegal immigrants, which surely includes MS-13 gang members, can continue to do harm to our citizens on their way “to and from work”. A separate form of identification would be created for us legal residents to comply with the REAL ID. “We think that’s the most sound economic and structural solution” said Kim Propeack, CASA’s advocacy director.

I don’t think so Kim and neither do countless other law-abiding Maryland citizens. Had enough of this pandering nonsense? Join us at Help Save Maryland as we put an end to this lawlessness.
