Legal Somali Immigrant, Army Veteran takes on New Driver’s License Policy

A Somali-American legal immigrant who served in the Iraq War is speaking out against what she calls Minnesota’s “outrageous” new policy allowing illegal immigrants to receive a driver’s license.

Army combat veteran Shukri Abdirahman emigrated from Somalia legally while trying to flee the socialist dictatorship of her home country, and even ran a congressional bid to unseat “Squad” member Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., in 2022.

She joined “Fox & Friends First” to discuss her treacherous journey to the United States and how her experience has shaped her opinion on the legislation.

“Absolutely outrageous,” Abdirahman told Todd Piro Tuesday. “I can no longer recognize what country I’m in because I came here legally. I came here back… when our country had laws and rules. I waited in the slums of Kenya for three years to be vetted medically and criminally, and after we got here, I waited five years to prove myself that I was going to be someone worthy, and who’s going to be worthy of citizenship.”

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, D., signed the “Driver’s Licenses for All” bill into law on Tuesday, allowing tens of thousands of individuals to pursue a driver’s license regardless of immigration status.   (Excerpt from Foxnews.com.)
