Majority of New Yorkers oppose granting drivers licences to undocumented immigrants: pol

New York drivers don’t want to share the road with undocumented immigrants.
A new poll from Siena College found that 61% of voters in the state oppose granting driver’s licenses to immigrants regardless of their immigration status.
Advocates supporting a bill that would allow non-citizens to obtain licenses remain hopeful that the Democratic-controlled Assembly and Senate will pass the measure before the end of the current legislative session.
Thousands of activists descended on Albany last week calling on lawmakers to pass the Driver's License Access and Privacy Act, dubbed the Green Light bill. The bill would make licenses available to all regardless of immigration status.
“Unfortunately, there is a lot of misinformation floating around about this legislation that could be influencing respondents,” said Emma Kreyche of the Green Light NY coalition, which is pushing for the bill. “It's better for road safety and generates millions in revenue for state and local governments.”

Kreyche pointed out that the licenses would only be used for the purposes of driving, registering, and insuring vehicles, not for boarding an airplane or registering to vote.
Twelve states, including Vermont and Connecticut, have passed similar legislation.
However, the Siena poll found little support for the measure.
“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,” Greenberg said. “White voters strongly oppose; black and Latino voters support it by small margins.”
The poll also found that New Yorkers are split on a variety of other issues that are being mulled over by elected officials ahead of the April 1 budget deadline.
Only 53% of voters back the elimination of cash bail for people facing misdemeanor or non-violent crimes. The same number supports legalizing recreational marijuana, while 43% are opposed.

Support for congestion pricing, charging drivers to enter parts of Manhattan, has dropped off since January, with 43% supporting the idea and 42% opposed. Roughly 52% of respondents backed the plan two months ago.

In 1834, a 22-year-old Yoruba man who would come to be known as Manuel Vidau was captured as a prisoner of war and sold to slave traders in Lagos, today the largest city in Nigeria. A Spanish ship transported him to Cuba, where he was sold to a white man who forced him to roll 400 cigars a day (if his pace slowed, he recalled, he would be “stripped, tied down and flogged with the cow hide”). A decade later, however, Vidau secured permission from a new owner to hire himself out, and with his earnings he bought a share in a lottery ticket—and won. That allowed him finally to buy his freedom. He married a fellow former slave, Maria Picard, and they adopted a young relative whose parents had died of cholera. Vidau supported his wife and son by continuing to roll cigars, eventually making enough money to cover their passage to England.
Vidau’s stroke of fortune is known today only because he had a chance encounter with a representative of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society. The organization recorded his story in its journal, which was later shelved in a university library, digitized and eventually collected in an online database called “Freedom Narratives.” Enslaved people like Vidau—torn away from their communities of origin, deprived of the ability to write about themselves and treated as cargo or property in official documents—often left little of themselves to the historic record. Still, even a few facts can shape the outline of a life of sorrow, adversity, perseverance and triumph.
“One of the biggest challenges in slave studies is this idea that people were unknowable, that the slave trade destroyed individuality,” says Daryle Williams, a historian at the University of Maryland. “But the slave trade didn’t erase people. We have all kinds of information that’s knowable—property records, records related to births, deaths and marriages. There are billions of records. It just takes a lot of time to go look at them, and to trace the arc of an individual life.”
