He’ll be in the unemployment line just like the clerks who refused to give gays marriage licenses.
They should just ban New Yorkers from traveling. You would need to have a passport to fly.
Oh, please....I’m sure you’re very cute.
This is ONLY about registering the illegals to vote. The governor knows the law requires ALL license applicants to be asked if they wish to register to vote. The MVA workers are NOT permitted to question the person as to his status.
From the article:
“...”I will not be granting driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants.” Kearns is requesting a legal determination from the federal court as to what his rights are as a clerk and whether he could be compelled to enforce the state law over what he views as a violation of federal law.”I anticipate being sued in either event,” Kearns wrote to County Attorney Michael Siragusa.”As a result, I intend to file a declaratory action in the United States District Court challenging the law as applied to the Erie County Clerk, and I request your representation in this lawsuit and in supporting the Constitution and the laws of the United States.” The measure was signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday, hours after it passed the state Senate. It passed the Assembly last week. © press New York’s Democrat Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the bill into law this week WIVB reported that a spokesperson for the attorney said the letter had been delivered, and that he “will be reviewing the request to make a determination on any potential action.”According to Fox News, the law makes New York the 13th state to authorize driver’s licenses for immigrants who have entered the U.S. illegally.“After a review of the act, I am convinced that it is inconsistent with federal law,” Kearns wrote in the letter.“More importantly, however, complying with the act puts me and other county clerks in the untenable position of having to decide whether to uphold federal law or the newly enacted state law.

I take it that you're an expert in the topic through personal experience?
How sad for you... ;-)
Ouch! I just looked up what we pay here in South Carolina: 8 year renewal for $25. Oh, and you must be a US citizen to get a license. And, they check SS numbers: "Your social security number and the name associated with it matches what's on file with the Social Security Administration."
It’s a DRIVER license.
Erie County - where I was raised. Good people there. Too bad NY taxes suck ‘cause it would be nice to go back.
Can’t he just claim Erie is a Sanctuary County on License issues??
Good for him! A man of courage and conviction, totally unlike the spineless scum who make up the majority of NY politicians.
We just moved from CA to a small town in MS.
In ordering to get a MS Drivers License I have come up with:
My original Social Security Card
My original Birth Certificate
My current Valid CA Drivers License
Two official proof of Address Documents, IE Rental agreement, Utility Bills
You know. All this in that backwater State of MS.
Their is no NYS GOP. It’s disgraceful how they just rolled over and played dead! We will get our state back without their help. I am totally fed up her!!

Monroe County Executive is going forward with a lawsuit since her clerk won’t refuse to give licenses in Rochester. Lawsuit will be good.
Heard on the news three other Counties will refuse to grant DLs to illegals. Upstate NY is fighting NYC.
