Gov. Cuomo said Sunday a proposal to let undocumented immigrants get drivers licenses in New York is going nowhere for now.
“I think what we’re focusing on this year is the DREAM Act,” Cuomo said, referring to the measure that would allow undocumented immigrants to get state financial aid for college. “I don’t think any other license proposal has any credibility this year.”
Immigrant groups launched a push earlier this year to allow those in the country illegally to get licenses, which eleven states now allow. Bills to change New York’s policy have been introduced in the Assembly and the Senate.

I think the only thing we should be giving these illegals is a one way ticket back to their motherland!
Not yet, but it will be soon. Cuomo is without principles or morals he will pander to any identity group, any group other than taxpayers that is
He's got presidential ambitions. ID's for illegals would not make him popular outside of Manhattan.
Cuomo pushing for the Dream Act is obviously sheer pandering to Hispanic groups. However, voters are going to be seriously peeved if they realize their taxes are going towards providing financial aid for illegal immigrants.
Then again, I don't think it would make a difference in this blue state. The voters are brain dead.
Dream Act=nightmare for citizens.
This is ridiculous. They are already driving here; make them get licenses!
I have never understood why we need a New York (or any other US State) Drivers License for those who are here without documentation.
Why not simply have the individual Countries of Central and/or South America issue drivers licenses for their own citizens and then we recognize those licenses.
That seems like a no-brainer to me.
It might be a pain-in-the-rear for those Countries Embassies or Consuls but that's tough crap. It's a pain in our rear as well.
I don't think they should be given nothing at all! You really think that these illegals will stop if they run you over or crash into your car? I dont care if they claim that they already drive! This will put even more of these criminals on the road! They can't even speak English!! They should be entitled to nothing! They should be Deported! We need to make them self deport themselves by giving them no welfare, no housing, no schooling for their anchors, no jobs, no language interpretation, no er visits.... no nothing! Let them self deport themselves!
The worst drivers are illegals. NYPD should protect us citizens by going after every driving infraction and checking for licenses. No license? Prison. No registration or insurance? Impound the car.
You think "but I'm a citizen and I don't want to get pulled over!"?
Then drive like a law abiding American, not a Mexican.
