Undocumented immigrants officially have the “green light” in Yonkers – – they can now apply for a state driver’s license thanks to the Green Light Law.

The line at the Yonkers DMV wrapped around the block with hundreds of people waiting — many to obtain their license.

Many were on line for more than three hours.

However, the wait did not end once they entered the DMV, because once inside the building they had to wait another three and a half hours to apply for the driver permit/license.

Those waiting on line told News 4 they were excited to finally get their license, but some said they are afraid the right won’t last and wanted to take advantage as soon as the right rolled out.

The Democrat-led state Senate voted 33-29 in favor of the bill in June after several hours of debate and was quickly signed into law by Governor Andrew Cuomo.

However, the move has proven controversial. While advocacy groups cheered the move, some opponents think it will de-incentivize people to become citizens.

Advocates claim that he roads will now be safer for everyone since more people will have taken the test, gotten car insurance and proven they can drive safely.
