Interested in hard-left New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s attitude toward enforcing federal immigration laws?
Excerpted from David Shortell’s article at CNN.com:
A database containing the identity of undocumented immigrants living in New York City would not be opened up to a Trump administration without a “real fight,” the city’s mayor said on Thursday.
Mayor Bill de Blasio, speaking at a news conference the day after President-elect Donald Trump’s stunning electoral victory, also left open the possibility that the database, which holds personal information from the more than 850,000 New Yorkers who have a city municipal identification card, could be scrubbed.
The IDNYC card was introduced in 2015 as a free and official proof of identification that could be obtained with limited documentation — making it accessible to the nearly half million city residents without legal immigration status.
This will be an interesting battle, to say the least.
I’ll keep you apprised.
