County Clerks in Upstate New York are threatening to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) if undocumented immigrants attempt to legally apply for driver’s licenses in their offices.

“I’ll make this very clear: If someone was to come in [to my office] with improper documentation, I would consider that probable cause to notify legal authorities that there are individuals here who may have broken the law. This could mean ICE,” Allegany County Clerk Robert L. Christman, said.

The Green Light bill, passed in June, allows New Yorkers regardless of immigration status, to acquire a driver’s license or a learners’ permit. But now, three lawsuits filed by Erie, Niagara and Rensselaer County Clerks, who oversee their local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) offices, hope to sabotage the law before it comes into effect on December 14...

Good. We need people to fight this lawlessness and raise a stink.

There are patriots still resident in New York State. Props to them.

I hate this communist enclave.

Why do people refer criminal illegal aliens as “undocumented?” Oh wait, they condone illegal behavior. Too bad The Stupid Party hasn’t figured this out yet.

HOORAY for these great Americans!

[Lurkinanloomin]

Bush League Republicans don’t just condone illegal behavior, they want to reward them with amnesty.

Excellent!

[ChildOfThe60s]

Liberals invented the term “oxymoron”

Illegal aliens getting “legal” driver licenses? And in more NY news, the legislature decrees that water is no longer wet if you don’t want it to be.

How is it natural born legal citizens are required to provide multiple documents of identity and residence and illegals don’t have to provide any?

[oldenuff35]

People who are here illegally are criminals. The left believes we are supposed to ignore all the laws that they have broken and treat them as if they are not criminals.

When do the rest of us get a chance to ignore the laws that we do not like?

If that was the equal standard the IRS would be in a world of hurt.

Remember when Anthony Kennedy struck down most of Arizona's SB1070 because he asserted that immigration was a FEDERAL matter? Where are those same lawyers to oppose NY State's unilateral move?

Yeah. And try getting service at a rental car place, doctor's office, pharmacy counter for a controlled substance such as codeine after dental surgery or even most cold tablets or a bank teller's counter.

But an illegal voting for the third time today? "Go right to the second booth, sir. No problem."

How did 0bama get his Massachusetts driver's license without a birth certificate?

The Illinois senator, a graduate of Harvard Law School, paid off a pile of Cambridge parking tickets accrued in his student days -- 17 of them -- before officially launching his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008. With late-fees, the tab came to $375.

He also paid $116 to the neighboring city of Somerville at about the same time for an outstanding auto excise tax bill and unpaid parking fines dating to 1990 and 1991.

Records show that Obama received the tickets between Oct. 5, 1988, and Jan. 12, 1990, for violations including parking in a resident-only zone, blocking a bus stop, and failing to put money in meters.

Believe me, there are ALOT of patriots in Upstate NY!

[cgbg]

Bank robbery is an undocumented withdrawal of funds. ;-)

[BobL]

One of them will get JAILED by the governor, and that will end the ‘resistance’.

Unlike the Republicans, the Democrats play HARD BALL, and the clerks will soon learn that the hard way.

Hurrah for Allegany County! A lot of my life was spent in that great county of Western New York State. Residence in Houghton, Wiscoy, Rushford, Angelica, Alfred Station, and Andover accounts for 16 of 48 years in my home state. I’ll be greatly pleased if they can avoid the contamination of alien invaders.
