On Immigration: Disallow illegal immigrants from obtaining driver licenses

Healey said she’s defending taxpayers and that illegal immigrants pose a security risk. “I am a citizen of this state and this country. They are not. This country is not open to every single person who wants to come here. People who are here illegally pose a risk, both a security risk and a drain on taxpayer resources,” she said. “Let them go to private schools if they want to.” Healey also pointed out that Reilly opposes allowing illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses.
