Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) said on this week’s Fox News Sunday broadcast that giving immigrants illegally in Minnesota drivers licenses, free tuition and health care has meant safe roads.
Host Shannon Bream said, “The Wall Street Journal says this after you were chosen to join the ticket: ‘As the Democratic Governor of Minnesota Tim Walz signed into law initiatives allowing immigrants in the country illegally to apply for drivers licenses, qualify for free tuition at state universities, and enroll in the state’s free healthcare program for low-income residents.’ Are those not magnets that draw people here, many times on dangerous journeys for themselves, and why should your taxpayers in Minnesota or across the States pay for those programs?”
Walz said, “That’s not the vice president’s position but I will say this: Minnesota ranks as a top five business state, we rank as a top three state for children living, and we are the top state for healthcare access. I would also add this, we have some of the safest roads. The vice president has made it clear she has policies that make a difference. Her border policies are the most strongest and fairest we have seen.”
