The political split between NY City, their stooges in Albany and the rest of NY State is slowly but steadily growing wider.
Hopefully other upstate clerks do the same. This is ridiculous, providing illegals and lawbreakers a legitimate Drivers ID, the only ID needed to register to vote.
I am amazed, somebody in NY government has common sense!!!
You’d think an intelligent and aggressive conservative attorney could put together a legal challenge based on this being part of an effort to subvert the legal voting process.
Democrats have considered vote fraud to be their little inside joke for decades, imagine what they are doing with this in democrat states and cities with masses of illegals?
We need to make it easier for areas within states to form their own states. There is no reason why Upstate NY or Downstate IL can’t be states in their own right.
“Erie County Clerk Michael “Mickey” Kearns sent a letter”...
Oh Mickey, you’re so fine. You’re so fine you blow my mind, hey Mickey...
From the story:
“Supporters of the bill include the state Business Council and immigrant advocates who think licenses will help immigrants get jobs.”

Why is NYS trying to force their cisgender, white, patriarchy on undocumented migrants by encouraging them to be documented?
He’ll be in the unemployment line just like the clerks who refused to give gays marriage licenses.
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.

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.
