New Yorkers Blocked from Fast-Track Travel Programs After Cuomo Bans DHS from Verifying State ID Records

Breitbart: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has blocked the state of New York from participating in a series of federal programs that fast-track travel for New Yorkers reentering the United States from international airports.

As Breitbart News reported, elected Democrats in New York state passed a law, signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), this year that provides illegal aliens and noncitizens with driver’s licenses, including a provision that bans DHS officials from having access to state identification records.

The law makes it effectively impossible for federal immigration officials to quickly check the immigration status of anyone they come in contact with, meaning agents have no way to verify the validity of New York state-issued IDs.

“The Act prevents DHS from accessing relevant information that only New York DMV maintains, including some aspects of an individual’s criminal history,” Acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf wrote in a letter to New York officials.

As a result, DHS has blocked New Yorkers from participating in fast-track travel programs such as Global Entry, which expedites entry into the U.S. from international airports; NEXUS, which expedites entry into the U.S. from Canada; SENTRI, which expedites travel into the U.S. from Canada and Mexico; as well as FAST, which expedites entry into the U.S. for truck drivers arriving from Canada and Mexico. read more

  1. Good decision.

    NY has lost its collwctive minds

    Or maybe it’s cloward piven: that is, to wreak havoc in the streets so fascists can jump in to ‘save’ us, and enslave us.

  2. The democrats run NY and continue to run NY into the ground. Nice going Cuomo, soon everyone will be leaving to escape from obscene taxes and a terrible, miss directed government that only takes care of its government workers.

  3. You get what you voted for.

    I do feel bad for those still stuck in N.Y. who don’t want or believe in that state’s leadership, but only if it is truly impossible for them to move. Otherwise, get out!

    If it is impossible to get out, because of family, poverty, health, or other valid reasons, and you think your state is in the crapper, voice your opinion. It is the only way you have left to fight the leftist swamp

  4. They should pull the Real ID certification from NY drivers Licences. That way your new york drivers license will not be accepted at TSA for any domestic flights. You will need a passport or a DL from another state. That should put the hurt on JFK Laguardia and Newark.

  5. Democrats always ensure that to protect border jumpers/ criminals the honest citizens must pay whatever it costs.
    I’m just glad to see the Lefties get shafted by their own.
