Oregon Sanctuary Vote

The Oregon Legislature has adjourned. What is left in its wake is a sludge of bills that go against most Oregonians. Here is an example. DACA and TPS enrollees get Oregon ID, permits and driver cards now sanctioned by Oregon Revised Statutes. Thats even after Measure 88 failed. (Measure 88 also tried to give ID and licenses to illegal aliens in 2014) Measure 88 was defeated by 66% of the vote.

DMV Administration used their rule-making process in 2014 to give driver cards to DACA and TPS registrants. Although the Oregon Department of Transportation says that only citizens and those with legal presence are allowed to get Oregon ID, permit, or license, it is a fact that whether DACA enrollees have a legal presence is in debate. It is before the courts awaiting rulings. So, claiming that DACA enrollees have legal status is jumping the gun in their favor and short-changing citizens expressly voted wishes.

The Real ID bill was passed in 2017 to met the federal requirements of the DHS for requirements for air travel. HB4111was drafted to meet some of the funding requirements that surfaced over the implementation of the Real ID bill. Subsequently, HB4111 was highjacked with an amendment that makes the progressive pro-sanctuary policy DMV administrative rules part of the Oregon Revised Statutes. This amended bill passed through the legislature through contorted means and public outcry but ended up passing, primarily due to Democrat support.

The Amendment to the bill stipulated that DACA and TPS enrollees did not have to prove legal presence and that their documentation could NOT be verified by DMV. The documentation and ID were completely exempted from verification while Americans have to have a certified documents to get a license. Americans are not allowed to get short-term licenses. DACA and TPS only have to present an unverified work authorization document. A document you can apply and print online. After the DACA and TPS enrollees get their license they can then use that license and a voter registration card or school ID to get a real verifiable work authorization card from USCIS.

Non-citizens are getting on our voter rolls. Post automatic voter registration, I did a records request for non-citizens on our voter rolls. Using jury recusal forms, Multnomah County Elections gave me a list of foreign nationals removed due to the voters admission that they were non-citizens.

We need an audit to show that DACA or TPS with an Oregon Driver’s card, permit or ID haven’t and won’t be automatically registered. They can certainly register to vote via paper application at a school voter drive. All that is needed is to say they are citizens. There is a lot of peer pressure to register at the school drives. They have the ID now.
