It's time for states not issuing phony IDs to phony "immigrants" to reverse reciprocity on NY IDs.
"I apologize Mr. Spitzer, but your NY drivers is not considered a valid ID here in America."
Actually, the Real ID law will require that no state issue a "valid" license in return for an "illegal" license from another state. If the reciprocal license laws depended on the intelligence of state legislatures and DMVs, several -- like California -- would be just as squishy as New York.
Five years ago in January, I told a meeting of state legislators meeting in Washington that if they did not get their collective acts together on the drivers license issue, the Congress would do it for them. Well, they didn't, and it did, exactly as I warned.
