New York ends post-9/11 ban on undocumented immigrants having drivers licenses
NBC New York ^ | December 16, 2019 | NBC New York

Posted on 12/16/2019 4:22:37 PM PST by GuavaCheesePuff

Undocumented immigrants officially have the “green light” in New York – they can now apply for a state driver’s license thanks to the Green Light Law.

On Monday, the line at the Yonkers DMV wrapped around the block with hundreds of people waiting -- many to obtain their license.

People started lining up before 8 a.m. As of 11:30 a.m. many were on line for more than three hours. However, the wait did not end once they entered the DMV, because once inside the building they had to wait another three and a half hours to apply for the driver permit/license.

Most of those waiting on line told News 4 they were excited to finally get their license after waiting for years for the opportunity. Some said they are afraid the right won’t last and wanted to take advantage as soon as the right rolled out.

Couldn't they just be required to get International Driver Licenses?.......

“New York is restoring a right undocumented immigrants had before the 9/11 terror attacks”

Was there a law that stated that they could get licences or was legal/illegal status just not mentioned?

So now driver’s licenses are useless as ID.

Well, that’s new york, second only to california in insanity. And when one of those newly licensed drivers does something to a normal person, the media will hide the facts.

And was ICE therein force? I mean, they certainly had reasonable articulable suspicion that crimes were/are being committed against the laws of the United States; the venue made that apparent, and the people in line, with perhaps some exceptions, were there to perpetrate a crime in addition to their illegal alien status.

Make the roaches run for cover every time the doors to the NYS DMV open.... The folks that stand there are likely not illegals , so let them be ( mostly). I do not see how any civil right issues could be argued in court over such ice presence.

Gee. I wonder what is going to happen if sanctuary cities and states go bankrupt and have to cut off benefits to illegal aliens? Armed insurrection?

I hope the lines were accommodated by INS agents and not DMV personnel. Watch the run to the border!!!!

They are all going to have to admit they’ve been driving without licenses for how many years - cars that aren’t registered, without insurance etc. No problem, New York! You deserve it!

“”And when one of those newly licensed drivers does something to a normal person, the media will hide the facts.””

They won’t be doing anything any different than they did WITHOUT licenses.

Driving is not a right.

It’s a privilege.

Considering how many documents I had to produce when we moved states this year,how can the DMV handle this work accurately.
