Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, R-Schuylerville, has signed a letter to the Department of Justice (DOJ) in opposition to New York’s controversial “Green Light Law,” enacted on June 17, 2019, which allows issuance of a driver’s license to illegal immigrants.
Out of the 12 states with similar laws, New York’s is among the least restrictive and least monitored, a statement from Stefanik’s office says.
The move was led by Long Island Republican Congressman Lee Zeldin and was joined by New York’s Republican House delegation.
“I’m very concerned with New York’s controversial and ill-advised Green Light Law,” said Stefanik, whose district covers New York’s North Country.
“This reckless legislation, which a majority of New Yorkers oppose, will hamper efforts to enforce federal immigration laws and has the potential to enable rampant voter fraud in our state,” Stefanik said. “The Republican New York Delegation stands united in insisting the Department of Justice review the constitutionality immediately, and I stand united with our North Country county clerks in opposition to this law.”
