Undocumented Migrants to Receive a Driver's License

New Bill Would Allow Undocumented Migrants to Receive a Driver's License

County clerks from around the state are mobilizing opposition to a bill that would provide undocumented immigrants with driver's licenses — reigniting a debate from more than a decade ago.

"After working here for 30 years, I've got to get it in the back of my mind how to give a license to someone knowing they are not here legally," said Frank Merola, (R) Rensselaer County clerk.

In 2007, then-Governor Eliot Spitzer pushed a similar bill, only to withdraw it amid a political outcry. At the time, it was opposed by then-Erie County Clerk Kathy Hochul, now the lieutenant governor.

I doubt it. NYS would never share this info, but wanted to make pistol permit holders names and addresses public. How about they do the same for illegals??
