An upstate New York county clerk says the legislation that lets illegal immigrants apply for drivers’ licenses not only violates federal law but could also lead to voter fraud and damage national security.
Erie County Clerk Michael Kearns grabbed headlines this week after promising not to issue drivers' licenses to illegal immigrants despite the measure being signed into law by Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday.
Kearns told “Fox and Friends First” on Thursday morning that the law has homeland security implications in addition to being illegal.
“This is very important. This is not only about the law, but security and voter fraud. In the auto bureaus in New York, people can register to vote and there was a discussion on the assembly and Senate floor, the sponsors of the bill said there are already people in New York who are voting illegally,” he said.
