Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., told Newsmax on Saturday that “it is absolutely ludicrous that New York State Democrats continue to tie the hands of our law enforcement.”

Malliotakis said the New York State politicians are “always putting people in the country illegally above the public safety interests of our state, our nation, and its citizens.”
“Not to mention, when you apply for a driver’s license under the green light law, your application automatically goes to the Board of Elections for voter registration unless you opt out.
