New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed into law the Green Light Bill Monday, which allows illegals to obtain driver’s licenses, WIVB4 reports. Kearns adamantly disapproves of the bill and he’s seeking legal representation to build a case against the State of New York and gathering protection in case he is sued.
Kearns’s letter to Erie County Attorney Michael Siragusa expressed his discontent with the law’s “inconsistency to federal law.” He also said, “I will not be granting driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants” and he expects to be sued by the state “either way.”
Kearns is one of the most outspoken critics of the bill in the Empire state, but public opinion appears to favor his point-of-view. A Sienna College Poll concluded that 53% of New Yorkers opposed Green Light before it became law.
