New York on Thursday vowed to fight a Trump administration attempt to keep New Yorkers from enrolling in most programs that help international travelers move faster through airports and border checkpoints, an explosive scuffle that's sure to land in the courts.
Further, she noted that while 13 other states and the District of Columbia had passed similar laws, none had been “singled out and targeted” in the same manner. Any ban could affect up to 200,000 New Yorkers who planned to enroll or renew their memberships this year, as well as 30,000 commercial truck drivers enrolled in the FAST program at four New York-Canada ports of entry, he said.
“We heard about this from Fox News. This is politics at its worst,” said Rep. Max Rose , who engaged in a heated exchange with Customs and Border Protection official John Wagner, who was testifying at the hearing.Wagner declined to comment on Rose’s accusation that the change was political, but said he would work with Congress to address the conflict.
“My office has already received an influx of new questions about this policy overnight. Fifty to 80,000 New York state residents are affected, have pending Global Entry applications or renewals,” Rice said. “This is going to have an enormous impact on people, many of whom entered into this program because their jobs require them to travel internationally.”
Never bet against Trump.
Now all of a sudden right wingers are supportive of intrusive policies federal government, such hypocrites!
Good luck, pretty solid case against when NY issues non-citizens without legal status DL
