GREEN LIGHT IN YONKERS: Undocumented Immigrants Are Lining Up Since 5;30 AM In Larkin Plaza To Get Driver’s Licenses This Morning
GETTY SQUARE: Illegal Aliens in #Yonkers are getting a big green light Monday. They are now allowed to apply for driver’s licenses
YONKERS: License applicants, in the city of hills, without a valid Social Security number are now able to submit alternative forms of ID that include valid passports and driver’s licenses issued in other countries.
Applicants must still get a permit and pass a road test to qualify for a standard driver’s license. The new law applies to New York State residents only. The New York law weathered two court challenges.
The second came Friday, just days before its enactment.
A federal district judge ruled against Rensselaer County Clerk Frank Merola, saying he lacked the legal capacity to bring the lawsuit.
Merola, a Republican, had argued that the state law conflicts with federal immigration law.
