A measure seeking to allow undocumented immigrants in New York to obtain driver's licenses, known as the"Green Light Bill," got its own green light on Tuesday, when the New York State Assembly voted in favor of the legislation.
However, the assemblyman asserted that the bill was not only helpful for undocumented immigrants, but would also be beneficial for all residents across the state by making"our roads safer." The argument that giving undocumented immigrants access to driver's licenses will improve road safety is one that advocates have repeatedly made to garner support for the program.
Meanwhile, courts in Connecticut found 4,000 fewer people guilty of unlicensed driving in the last four years, NPR said, citing Connecticut judicial data obtained by the New England Center for Investigative Reporting. "I'm worried about DMV being able to comply with law enforcement and ensuring the data systems that they use will have accurate information," Republican Assemblyman Mike Reilly, a former police officer, told The New York Post.
Sigh.
This is like giving a burgler the keys to your car and access to the food in your fridge
