NYS Assembly Minority

"The federal government should set standards for the issuance of birth certificates and sources of identification, such as drivers licenses...
...sources of identification are the last opportunity to ensure that people are who they say they are."
- 9/11 Commission Report Recommendation
Governor Eliot Spitzer’s proposal allows illegal aliens to obtain a driver’s license...


Assemblyman Jim Tedisco Says NO!
Assemblyman Tedisco Governor Eliot Spitzer’s proposal to allow illegal aliens to obtain a State driver’s license has been criticized as a threat to homeland security.

Here’s what the NY POST reported about the Governor’s proposal:

New York Post

GOV TAKING LICENSE WITH ALIEN-DRIVER ID

SEPTEMBER 22, 2007 - Gov. Spitzer announced yesterday that illegal immigrants will get driver’s licenses - but at a cost to legal citizens because they’ll now be useless as airport ID.   Spitzer said the state would no longer require a Social Security number or proof that a person is not eligible for such a number in order to qualify for a driver’s license. That change clashes with the 2005 REAL ID law passed by Congress that states require, among other things, a Social Security number in order to get a license.


Drivers License
Jim Tedisco opposes Governor Spitzer’s proposal to allow illegal aliens to obtain a driver’s license.

Here’s what Jim Tedisco is doing to stop it:

  • Introducing legislation preventing the State DMV from enacting the Governor’s proposal

  • Requiring the State DMV to disclose the details of the Governor’s proposal

  • Demanding the Legislature vote on the Governor’s proposal so New Yorkers can see where their representative stands on this issue

  • Notifying the Governor and the DMV that they have until October 31 to stop their plan or face a lawsuit

"In this post-9/11 world, the last thing the Governor and the state DMV should be doing is handing out driver’s licenses to potential terrorists."
