The state has pressing police interests in maintaining public order. Licensing illegal immigrants significantly reduces the number of unlicensed and uninsured rivers on the road.
Helping ICE with extremely selective, often violent, enforcement does not serve those interests. It will not serve the ends of New York State. If those databases are turned over to ICE, folks will refuse to apply for licenses, for fear of being murdered in their beds.
Federalism is a bitch that way. You have to occasionally live with state and federal interests that do not align.

As does the federal government, in maintaining border integrity. > Federalism is a bitch that way. You have to occasionally live with state and federal interests that do not align. That goes both ways. Guess NY residents will just have to live without Global Entry.
- hapless 7y agoThey won’t, though. Sooner or later the DHS will be forced to back off, because NYS residents draw more water in Washington than Trump cronies do in Albany. This is grandstanding and little more.
- masonic 7y agoLicensing illegal immigrants significantly reduces the number of unlicensed and uninsured rivers You have actual data showing this? In CA, cases of driving without valid licenses and without insurance have increased since CA started issuing licenses to those here illegally.
