A majority of New York State voters, according to a newly released Siena College poll, overwhelmingly oppose illegal immigrants receiving driver’s licenses.

Sixty-one percent of New York voters say they do not believe non-citizens should receive driver’s licenses. While 49 percent of Democrats support issuing driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants, 84 percent of Republicans and 71 percent of Independents oppose such a policy.


“Overwhelmingly, Republicans and Independents, upstaters and downstate suburbanites, oppose allowing undocumented immigrants to get driver’s licenses. Democrats and New York City voters are closely divided on the issue,” Siena Research’s Steven Greenberg said. “White voters strongly oppose; black and Latino voters support it by small margins.”

New York’s WGRZ TV conducted their own poll last year when New York State Democrat lawmakers pushed for licenses for illegal immigrants and their viewers overwhelmingly opposed it.

Siena’s numbers were released one month after immigrant advocate groups did another push for driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants now that Democrats have the majority of both chambers in the New York State legislature.

In 2017, a bill that would have allowed licenses to illegal immigrants was filed in the lower chamber by Democratic Assemblyman Francisco Moya, but the legislation died in the state Senate, which was controlled by the Republicans at the time.


New York State Comptroller Scott Stringer is an advocate for the measure.

“For many of us, a driver’s license is nothing more than a piece of plastic tucked in between our credit cards, but for undocumented immigrants it means better job opportunities, a safe way to get your child to school, and to the hospital in an emergency – all without fear of deportation during a routine traffic stop,” Stringer said at a rally with Fiscal Policy Institute (FPI) officials in Manhattan last month, according to The New York Post.

Stringer and FPI pointed to reports that showed the state would rack up extra money totaling $9.6 million through additional driver’s license fees.

The new Siena poll, however, shows a majority of New York State voters don’t like the leftward direction the New York State is going in, either. Just 36 percent say that the Empire State is not moving too far to the political left, while 51 percent says the state is moving too politically leftward.

“While Democrats disagree, a strong majority of independents and an overwhelming majority of Republicans say that Democratic control of the governor’s mansion and both houses of the legislature are moving the state too far to the left,” Greenberg said. “Two-thirds of voters — including a majority of Democrats — say that Democratic control of the state makes it harder for businesses to be successful.”

This Siena College Poll was conducted between March 10-14 by telephone calls conducted in English to 700 New York State registered voters. It has an overall margin of error of +4.2 percentage points.

For many American's...awarding illegal aliens a Driver's License, which is a privilege to Drive in this country, not a right, is a REWARDING and aiding abetting illegal aliens to live and work in this country which they have NO right to do so.

It is a Government issued license and in direct violation of our Federal Immigration & Visa Laws and should be a Felony for any State to issue foreign citizens a Drivers License!

SIGN AN EXECUTIVE ORDER TO DEEM ALL GOVERNMENT ISSUED DRIVER'S LICENSES TO ILLEGAL ALIENS NULL & VOID AND THEY SHOULD NOT BE RECOGNIZED BY ANY LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER, IN ANY STATE IN THIS NATION, AS A VALID I.D.! THAT IS FRAUD!!! APPREHEND THEM, HAND THEM OVER TO I.C.E. AND PUT THEIR VEHICLES IN A COMPOUND TO BE SOLD AT AUCTION!

DO NOT REWARD...DEPORT THEM ALL.

I am from NY and unfortunately have been to the old capitol of NY Kingston. You will see cars with Illinois license plates. Illinois gives drivers license to illegal aliens. They get plates then sell those plates for top dollar in other states. They have no registration no insurance no inspection no license and the police do nothing to them. They are all working for the American who hires them. They work for cash no less than 120 day and get a free lunch.

The reason why we have this problem is because of Americans who hire these illegal aliens. It is the greedy unpatriotic American who needs to be deported. These illegals are used and abused some even sexually.

I like many other New Yorker's will be moving out of this liberal communist hell hole. The only people you will have here are welfare recipients which include the day laborers, the wealthy, state county government employees and the average white American who has a job as a state trooper or works in a prison. There are many state and federal prisons here in NY. Lots of room to lock up Americans who hire these illegals who have no respect for you and this country.

I am in the trades and 1 out of every 5 homes is foreclosed in certain areas. The hottest housing markets in NY is section 8 housing, foreclosures, and tents.

This government right down to the local level is bought and paid for by communists. They will not stop until there is a rude awakening and the only way that will happen is through you exercising your 1st and 2nd amendment. If you do not then the guns everywhere will be taken not just in NY and California which are role models for the rest of the so called states.

I have never seen anything so disgustingly pathetic. Now you watch how these insurance companies will make tons of money off the ass of Americans so the little brown men can drive to their private HMO the hospital emergency room where you will bleed to death waiting for a doctor so they can get taken care of first.

When is A.G. BARR going to start to prosecute the Governors of sanctuary states!

Get OFF the Russian scam and get to work!

We want Jeff Sessions back! Did Jared tell Trump to fire him...the NWO red headed step child?

Prosecute these Governors for harboring, aiding and abetting illegal aliens. Embezzlement of taxpayer funds, misappropriating those funds, and using OUR money to pay for illegal aliens and awarding the Drivers Licenses with they have NO right to!

NOT ONE PEEP OUT OF A.G. BARR ON THIS!

GET ON IT!!!
