“Why would any illegal obtain a document that clearly indicates that they are here illegally and even provides their address? I would assume it would take a great leap of faith by the illegal to sign up.”
I’ve been told, although this is not verified, that the illegal could then take that license to another state, and switch it out in that state with one of theirs, thus now having a license that does not have the reference to being an illegal alien. In other words, the “illegals” license would be a means to an end, to go to another state and swap it out for a new license in that state, now “illegal” free.
But wouldn’t the other states know that the NY license was only for illegals? I can’t imagine that the other states wouldn’t become aware of it should NY ever start issuing them.

That is true, according to the AZ DMV - if someone brings a license in from another state and wants it transferred to AZ, it will be changed - no questions asked.
