NY Dems Gift 250K Illegal Alien Drivers to Uber, Delivery Companies

The new labor supply will partly counter President Donald Trump’s “Hire American” immigration policies that are now forcing up Americans’ wages. “Wages are rising at the fastest rate in many decades … [and] they’re rising the fastest for the lowest-income Americans,” President Donald Trump said at his June 18 campaign-opener in Florida.

For example, SimplyHired.com shows wages for delivery drivers in New York ranging from $9 an hour to $25 an hour — although the wages remain far below what is needed for a decent living in New York City, even before the companies start to hire cheaper illegal immigrant drivers.

Amid the inflow of illegal labor, wealthier people who use Uber taxi service will be shielded from the illegals because Uber only hires drivers who have specialized licenses from the Taxi & License Commission. “In NYC, only TLC-licensed drivers who have gone through the city’s background check process are able to complete trips on the Uber platform,” a Uber spokesman said.

The illegals can’t get TLC licenses because they do not have federal Social Security Numbers. “The TLC will continue to provide licenses to people who meet our requirements, which includes a valid social security number, DMV Chauffeur’s license, fingerprinting, and drug testing,” said an executive at the commission, who added, “No human being is illegal.”

The assembly’s June 17 decision to approve the “Green Light” bill for migrants is being celebrated by the natural alliance of investors, progressives, and illegal migrants who successfully pressured 33 state Senators and Gov. Chris Cuomo to OK the licenses-for-illegals bill on Monday night.

“I’m so honored to be part of the @GreenLightNYDT coalition,” said a tweet from Eddie Taveras, a Latino progressive activist and lobbyist for the billionaire-funded FWD.us advocacy group. “We fought for this bill every step of the way via a grassroots movement centered on inclusion & transparency,” said Tavernas, whose FWD.us employers include numerous wealthy West Cost investors, such as Mark Zuckerberg and Matt Cohler, a partner at the Benchmark Capital investment firm.

The New York state assembly has gifted Uber, DoorDash, Amazon, and business groups a huge new supply of 250,000 illegal immigrant drivers, so depressing wages for the many Americans and legal immigrants who earn their wages by delivering people, cargo, and food to their destinations.
