Trump Administration to Go After States Allowing Illegal Immigrants to Obtain Driver's Licenses
Chad
Wolf, the acting Secretary of Homeland Security "is taking aim at new
laws in New York and New Jersey that allow immigrants to get driver's
licenses without proof they are in the U.S. legally, and restrict data
sharing with federal authorities," according to a report from the Associated Press.
Wolf sent a memo within the department requesting "a department-wide study on how the laws affect its enforcement efforts."
New
York is the 13th state that has authorized illegal immigrants to obtain
driver's licenses. In addition to giving illegals a state-issued
license, the New York state law actually prohibits the New York
Department of Motor Vehicles from providing data to any agency that
enforces immigration law barring a judge's order–which seems like a
flagrant attempt to aid and abet individuals who have broken federal
immigration law.
New York
officials claim the laws are meant to reduce the number of people
uninsured (because obviously illegals should be getting health insurance
that we're likely paying for) and improve traffic safety and give
illegals better opportunities for employment.
I guess Andrew Cuomo and the New York Democratic Party would prefer illegals getting jobs over actual Americans.
According
to Wolf's memo, which was obtained by The Associated Press, the
department must be “prepared to deal with and counter these impacts as
we protect the homeland.”
According
to the Department of Homeland Security, laws such as New York's, make
America less safe. “The Trump administration takes the mission of
protecting the Homeland very seriously,” said Heather Swift, spokeswoman
for the Department of Homeland Security. “These types of laws make it
easier for terrorists and criminals to obtain fraudulent documents," she
added. (emphasis mine)
