The Democrat-controlled State Legislature soon could pass a bill that would weaken state laws to allow persons living in New York unlawfully to apply for and receive driver’s licenses.
It’s a bad idea.
Proponents of the legislation, which has been kicking around since the mid-2000s, correctly note that some of these residents drive anyway, so wouldn’t it better if they were licensed and insured. Others argue that denying licenses to immigrants here illegally makes life more difficult for them. It does.
