Illegal Alien Drivers’ Licenses No Good in New Hampshire
Kelly Ayotte just made it crystal clear: if you’re in this country illegally and holding one of those feel-good, law-dodging licenses from Vermont or California, you better keep on driving, right out of New Hampshire.
She signed the bill. She dropped the gavel. And with that signature, Live Free or Die just got its bite back.
New Hampshire Is Not a Sanctuary State
Liberals across the region are frothing at the mouth because New Hampshire had the gall—the audacity—to say: “No, we won’t recognize a driver’s license that was created solely to reward someone for breaking federal immigration law.”
Governor Kelly Ayotte didn’t flinch. She didn’t issue some mealy-mouthed “we hear both sides” press release. She stepped up, took the pen, and put the law in motion like a true constitutional conservative. [Related: MacDonald: How Many More Illegals Are Voting in Manchester?]
This is leadership, folks. This is what it looks like when someone in Concord puts the citizens of this state before the politics of the D.C. donor class.
We Don’t Owe Criminals a Lane on Our Roads
Let’s get one thing straight: This isn’t about hating immigrants. It’s about loving the rule of law. And it’s about refusing to let New Hampshire become the extension office of failed border policies.
We don’t owe illegal immigrants driver’s licenses.
We don’t owe them out-of-state reciprocity.
And we sure as hell don’t owe them our silence.
This law blocks the use of licenses created specifically for people here illegally. Vermont calls them “driver privilege cards.” Cute name. Sounds like something from Chuck E. Cheese. But here in New Hampshire? Privileges come from citizenship, not backdoor activism.
Governor Ayotte Draws a Line in the Granite
This is the kind of backbone that’s been missing for years. Governor Kelly Ayotte isn’t just talking the talk—she’s walking the walk. [Related: MacDonald: Irony Alert – Firearms Background Check Gets Illegal Busted by ICE]
Her message is simple:
“You can keep your sanctuary state gimmicks across the river. In New Hampshire, we follow the Constitution.”
Let Vermont and Massachusetts chase their utopian fantasies of open borders and zero consequences. We’ve got real issues to solve: drug overdoses, crime, inflation, infrastructure. And we don’t need more strain on law enforcement or more unlicensed, unverified, uninsured drivers roaming our roads because someone in Montpelier or Boston thought it was politically correct.
The Left’s Meltdown? Delicious
The Democrats are having their usual tantrum: “This is racist! This is hateful! This is unconstitutional!”
Cry louder, Karen.
This bill doesn’t target any race or nationality—it targets a legal status. That’s not discrimination. That’s law and order.
Want to drive in New Hampshire? Apply for a legal license. Become a citizen. Do it the right way. That’s how it works in a state that still believes in accountability, not anarchy.
Final Word: Ayotte Just Sent a Message
To every illegal immigrant driving around with a foreign-issued “get out of jail free” card: your road just hit a border.
To every sanctuary-state politician: don’t test our fences.
And to every New Hampshire taxpayer who’s been told to sit down and shut up while your values are bulldozed by globalist nonsense: “Stand up. Speak louder. And remember who’s got your back—because Governor Kelly Ayotte just proved she does.”
This is Live Free or Die country—not “Live Illegal and Drive.”
