Senator launches assault on illegal immigration gaps as GOP races midterm clock to lock in key wins

Sen. Jim Banks is pressing the Senate to pass a package of seven immigration bills that target issues such as birthright citizenship and visas. A key measure, the Dalilah Law, would require states to stop providing commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) to illegal immigrants and certain foreign nationals, and mandate English testing for license administration. Banks argued this action is necessary due to concerns about future Democratic administrations implementing open borders or mismanaging Temporary Protected Status authority.
