Letter about why does Sen. Miller vote against our interest?…
To the Editor,
Once again, Sen. Miller has voted against the economic and public safety interests of our district, all while hiding behind bad faith straw man arguments. Why would Sen. Miller do this?
A wide coalition of conservative and progressive groups have supported “Driver’s License for all” as a commonsense reform that benefits all Minnesotans, keeping them safer on the roads and increasing economic activity. This law has been broadly supported by the business community, by the law enforcement community, and by the agricultural community. Yet Sen. Miller wrongly states that the new law will allow votes to be cast illegally. He also neglected to mention that adding language “not for voting purposes” to a driver’s license was opposed by law enforcement groups as it would lead to more discrimination. Sen. Miller wasn’t even in the Senate Chamber as the bill was being debated.
Again, it is important to ask why would Sen. Miller vote against this bill? If you vote against making our roads safer, increasing economic activity, and helping farmers, why are you in public service? It seems that Sen. Miller is more interested in being against Democrats than in being for us, his constituents.

Do you really believe that those people will give all personal information to get a drivers license? Just another way for the liberals to get us to fight amongst our selves .

You sound like a socialist. Give all people all things. Just wait until those moronic DFLer’s pass a reparation payment to minorities. And when the funds come out of your own pocket, you will scream “unfair” to high heavens. When I went to school, I never had a “free meal”. Education in this state is dead. Maybe CRT should stand for “Cannot Rely on Teachers”. Now when the kids get filled up with a free meal, Waltz can bus them to a clinic to get their sex changed. I cannot believe Waltz ever got a job as a teacher. But wait, there is a saying…those who can, do, those who cannot, teach, and those who cannot teach, go into politics. Waltz has never had “real” job in his life. Maybe Waltz should parade his own kids into a clinic for a sex change. The best way to turn a DFL/socialists to a conservative is to make them a victim.

Would Minnesota be the first state in the union to authorize driver’s licenses to immigrants? Nineteen states currently allow for immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses, including Utah, where Republicans have remained firmly in control for decades. There are even a few purplish states in the mix.
Here’s a recent article about those nineteen states: https://www.ncsl.org/immigration/states-offering-drivers-licenses-to-immigrants
Who would you rather meet on a public roadway: an undocumented immigrant who has passed a driver’s exam and is insured, or one for whom neither applies?
Undocumented immigrants will continue to be with us. They are a dream come true for some employers who can subject them to the worst possible working conditions, comforted by the knowledge that a mistreated immigrant worker would never dare to lodge a complaint. Does anyone seriously think that the meatpacking plants could continue to operate around the clock if every immigrant worker were deported? The same would apply to many jobs that few native born Americans would ever be willing to perform.
If the United States truly wanted to put an end to undocumented workers in this country, we’d be reading about CEOs of the companies that hire them (without proper vetting) going to jail This seems rather a cheap political ploy to scare voters into voting in a particular way for those who most loudly rail against immigrants while at the same time fully intending to allow the status quo to continue.
On the matter of free breakfasts and lunches for Minnesota’s school children, Rep. Davids and Sen. Miller both voted against this provision. Perhaps they believe that a hungry kid will learn more than if they were fed. Those kids who reside in homes where money is scarce most certainly did noy choose their lot, and in many cases, their parents did not either, Many life circumstances not of their choosing have the potential to drive a once prosperous family into financial ruin.
Why would some politicians vote against the needs of their constituents? Could it be because they receive large campaign donations from ultra wealthy benefactors (including out of state i9nterests) who do not want to see one penny of their tax dollars used to help alleviate the suffering of the least fortunate?
Those same politicians might claim to be doing the Lord’s work. Really?

You sound like a DFL/socialist. The DFL/socialist party voted for this bill so they will have a bunch of new voters. They do not care about the illegals, take guns out of the hands of law-abiding gun owners. History shows that the first thing a ruling government does is to disarm the civilian population so it can be controlled. All they want to do is turn MN into another CA with just a one-party state. And that has been going so well for CA. If you like the way CA is being run, then move there and leave the rest of us alone. An example of the socialist control is the banning of fossil fuels at 80% by 2340 and 100% in 2040. I wonder if the socialists thought of how I am going to heat my home in 2030 when natural gas will be illegal. Maybe they believe the “dirty air” will stop at the state’s borders. Let’s go all out and ban all snowmobiles, boats, ATV’s, etc., since they pollute the air also. Maybe close all state parks so people do not walk on the grass and then turn them into solar panel farms. Then the state can hire the illegals that will be coming to MN to brush the snow off of the panels in the winter so they will work.

Well said! Your question, “Why do Republicans consistently vote against our best economic, safety and health interests?” is applicable to most GOP legislators these.days. They vote against adequate funding for infrastructure, education, healthcare, early childhood programs, daycare and environmental funding. All they seem to care about is massive tax cuts for wealthy people.
