Thomas Homan: NY, NJ reward illegal immigrants – here's how new drivers' license laws hurt society
Fox News ^ | December 27, 2019 | Thomas Homan

Posted on 12/27/2019 1:00:03 PM PST by jazusamo

New York and New Jersey just joined a small group of states that think rewarding bad behavior with drivers’ licenses is a good thing.

Specifically, they have approved licenses for people who entered our country in violation of the law and others who, after receiving due process at great taxpayer expense, have been ordered removed by a federal judge. And remember, many of the undocumented ordered deported have criminal convictions. U.S. citizens can lose their licenses if they break the law but illegal aliens can get drivers’ licenses after violating many rules.

These legislators have forgotten a basic lesson we all learned as children: Rewarding bad behavior encourages more bad behavior.

Many leftist politicians call this a victory for the immigrant community. Wrong. It’s a victory for the illegal immigrant community. Lawful immigrants already had that right. Other politicians say it will make it easier for these immigrants to get to work and support their families. But it’s illegal for them to work and illegal for an employer to knowingly hire them.

Essentially what lawmakers have done is reward illegal behavior by granting a privilege that allows for more illegal behavior.

These laws are clearly an attempt to impede Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) from doing their jobs. They also are a direct challenge to existing federal law.

The U.S. Code is clear that individuals, agencies or state and local government entities or officials cannot interfere with federal law enforcement efforts to collect, receive or share information about a person’s immigration status. The code is also clear that it is against the law to harbor or conceal fugitives from law enforcement. The New York law does the opposite on both counts.

NJ and NY people can’t fly unless they have a passport.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Then they are no longer undocumented, they are documented to be foreign criminals.

Good, maybe they’ll eventually get the message and stop voting for the anti-American elected politicians who enable illegal aliens.

There's another huge motive for giving illegals DLs ... it's to get their physical addresses.

You watch and see. Other states will do what California has done, which is legalize ballot harvesting, which allows another party to bring your ballot to the polls.

There's a huge untapped population of people who can't be bothered to vote or don't know how to vote or think they can't because they're illegal. The the helpful activist comes to your home (because the DMV now has your address) with a ballot and all you have to do is sign and they'll take it to the polls for you. Hell, they'll probably even help you fill it out or give you $5 for you signature and walk away with it blank. But if you vote Republican your ballot might not make it to the polls. All perfectly legal now in California.

What happens here gets spread everywhere. The DLs for illegals is about more revenue for the DMV but it's also about voter fraud.

The main problem is that the lines are so long that 16-year old Americans can’t get their licenses for six month after turning 16. Now that is some bull.

It could be a great way for ice to get their information.

Strange that all the illegal voting has only found a few republicans who voted illegally. That’s some crap right there.

Simple solution: States bordering NJ need to declare all NJ drivers potential outlaws and terrorists and seize all vehicles with NJ plates that cross into their state.

.

Leftists need to be told that Voter Fraud will be rewarded with 5 years hard labor and deportation.

Conspiring to assist Voter Fraud will get 20 years hard labor or the death penalty.

Subverting the Citizens Voting is a fundamental act of TREASON.

MAKE some of these perps THINK a bit before they commit treason.

That needs to be the case for anybody from a state that gives illegal aliens a driver’s license.

The biggest motive is the census.

NYS needs warm bodies.

I believe there are seven states where DL’s cannot be used as ID for flying.
