NY Assembly passes measure granting undocumented immigrants access to driver's licenses

Don't forget this: 'According to a report from the liberal Fiscal Policy Institute, more than 265,000 people would become eligible for licenses and the additional legal drivers would generate $57 million in annual revenue for the state.' How would each person generate $215/year for the state that they are not generating now?

Fees..

Drivers licence, Registrations, gas taxes, speeding tickets, parking tickets. sales taxes on cars, sales taxes on crap like beaded seat covers....

What @Target said.

He beat me to it.

That reminds me i have to go renew my DL.

And with a driver's license they will be able to vote?

 

[jimc]

Chances are they are driving illegally right now. Supposedly it will be safer because they will have passed a test. If they are driving illegally right now, they are already paying a gas tax, and possibly tickets, etc. Just not the registration, insurance, and probably a few other 'fees' I pay for and forget about.

Lat time I checked you have to be a US citizen to resister to vote. Don't think a NYS Dl is going ot help if you don't hav a social security number.

Hopefully ICE starts hangin around NYS DMVs now.

My dad had a drivers licence and a green card but could not vote.
This was back in the 60's and 70's though. Things have changed.

It's the same today .... I had a Green Card; paid taxes, had a driving license, had a pistol permit ....

How does an illegal get insurance without an SSN??

 

[nortatoga]

Yes but that will be next, as voting falls under states rights!

Question: Can I buy car insurance without a social security number?

Answer: Yes, you can buy insurance without a social security number with some companies. However, insurance companies will require you to have a U.S. driver's license, which, depending on your state laws, you cannot obtain without having a social security number.

Buying car insurance without a social security number | CarInsurance.com

Some companies you can find through CarInsurance.com make your SSN optional during the purchase process, while others require it. If you don't have a social security number and it is required, then you can call our service center at 855-430-7753, and they will assist you so you can purchase a policy.


I did not know this until I checked on it.

 

[Defilade]

As far as voting in NY, I don't think it will make a dam bit of difference.

Except for turning red counties blue.

So, they think that giving people a piece of plastic will make them better drivers ?

Or, will they only give the plastic to people who can pass a test ? Do they expect the people who can't or don't pass the test to stop driving illegally ?
