State troopers’ PBA against ‘greenlight’ legislation

[GOYABEAN]

ALBANY – The State Police PBA is against proposed “greenlight legislation” that would allow the issuance of driver’s licenses to undocumented immigrants and hamper troopers’ abilities to access identifying information, the union said.

The proposal has the backing of Nobody Leaves Mid-Hudson and other immigration and social conscience groups.
“This is dangerous and extremist legislation,” said PBA President Thomas Mungeer. “It flies in the face of proponents of the bill who are touting this as a highway safety measure.”

The PBA said it is a public safety issue to have unlicensed drivers on the roads. “We will always encourage a higher level of safety for New York and will support initiatives to make it a safer and more secure place in which to live,” Mungeer said. “Furthermore, allowing undocumented immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses using less stringent identification than the minimum security standards for state residents seeking a license is an insult.”

I'm confused.

This is an excellent opportunity to document the undocumented. Including name and address and legal status.

What's not to like?

I take that as sarcasm, but just in case. Sa far as I know the DL would NOT defer between a citizen and an illegal.

Still say it is an excellent opportunity to have a sanctuary state conversation about status.

Then, issue the license.

And stamp ILLEGAL ALIEN across the face of it.

Being "illegal", they are criminals. Criminals lie. "Documentation" would, in most cases, probably be useless.
