NY Gov. Cuomo supports driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants


ALBANY — Gov. Cuomo said he would green-light granting driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants, claiming it would improve road safety — even citing the well being of his three daughters to make the case.

“I have three young daughters, youngish, two graduated college, one going to her junior year of college. And they’re out there driving every day and I’m waiting up at night like most parents, waiting to hear the door close before I can go to sleep,” he said Friday in a WXXI radio interview.

“I’m worried about them. I want to make sure the people on the road have a driver’s license and took the test and are qualified.”

But Cuomo said the Legislature has to first pass the measure. If such a bill lands on his desk, the governor said he would sign it.
