    Illegal immigrants to be able to get driver’s licenses in NY after legal challenge

    Illegal immigrants to be able to get driver’s licenses in NY after legal challenge fails

    Illegal immigrants in New York will able to obtain driver’s licenses starting next week after a last-minute legal challenge was dismissed -- making it the 13th state to allow the practice, but one that critics say is unconstitutional.The Green Light Law, signed by Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo earlier this year, allows anyone to apply for a driver’s license regardless of immigration status and does not require a Social Security number.

    What type of ID do most people use to acquire a fire arm = drivers licence !

    So is it #Cuomo's idea now to arm illegal immigrants ?

    Or didn't he even think that far - as long as #Dems win in 2020 they seem to be willing to do anything !
    #Dems play musical chairs + patronage and nepotism = entitlement !

    and this is one reason why our licenses are no longer good for air travel and you now wil have to spend more money to get an ID with proof of citizenship
    Vote for freedom, not political parties.
    Politicians need to cut spending

    New York issued driver's licenses to illegal/undocumented aliens prior to 2001. Also roughly 13 other States already issue driver's licenses to illegal/undocumented aliens. This is much to do about nothing.

    Loophole in law granting illegal immigrants driver’s licenses could lead to voter fraud

    “[A] major concern is that many states, including New York, use their DMVs to enroll voters. Since New York does not have voter-identification laws like the majority of other states do, this bill increases the potential for voter fraud,” state Sen. Republican Minority Leader John Flanagan (R–Suffolk) said Tuesday.
    “This means that New York will soon have the most radical, open-ended law in the entire nation.”

    Voters need only provide a driver’s license number to register to vote, according to BOE spokesman John Conklin.
    “If you have a driver’s license number, you basically stop there,” Conklin told The Post Tuesday of the vetting process.
    Registrants are required to check a box swearing they are eligible to vote in the US, but “it’s basically an honor system,” he said. Anybody could theoretically commit voter fraud,” he said. “You could get a form and register to vote, put any name — a teenager could get a form . . . there’s nothing that is 100% foolproof.

    If you don’t think it’s possible for illegals to vote, here’s another angle...

    If you don't think illegal immigrants are voting for president, think again

    No, illegal immigrants aren’t allowed to directly vote for the commander-in-chief yet, but in vast numbers they can dramatically alter the Electoral College to favor Democrats for at least a decade because a state’s electoral votes are based on the number of people residing within that state, not the number of citizens present when the Decennial Census is taken.If a nefarious power grab seems far-fetched, ask yourself this — why are Democrats so intent on blocking the addition of a citizenship question to the 2020 Census?

    It is clear the presence of illegal immigrants can bolster a state’s electoral power, even one that is already arctic blue. Something tells me the Democrats’ keen interest in the plight of the much ballyhooed dreamers has a similar ulterior motive as well.

    Homeland Security Chief Orders Review Of State Laws Allowing Driver’s Licenses For Illegal Aliens

    Chad Wolf, the acting secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), ordered a review of state laws that allow illegal aliens to obtain driver’s licenses and restrict data sharing with federal immigration authorities.
    Wolf on Tuesday ordered all of the components of DHS to conduct a department-wide review of the state laws to determine how they affect their day-to-day operations, according to a memo obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. The DHS chief’s directive indicates he is prepared to take aim against the state laws.

    This was possible before Driver's Licenses. Look at the paper form to register to vote: http://elections.erie.gov/pdfs/2019-...ation-Form.pdf

    Day late and several dollars short, some states have been doing this continuously since 1993 and no review until now?

    Some states were doing slavery before and I don't think that was right either.

    Do you honestly believe that such a review was NEVER done before? This is a feel good announcement that will result in a report that will collect dust.

    The thing that sends the wrong message is the Federal Government's failure to efficiently enforce its laws and carry out it's responsibility and then trying to shift the onus to the States.

    Step one fix the hole. IE: Get the wall completely finished on the southern border to do our best to stop the flow of people illegally entering the USA. Tell the DNC and local supporters of the DNC to pull their collective heads our of their asses and get it finished.
