NYC ID law has ‘delete in case of Tea Party’ clause : New York City Makes Its' Own Immigration Law With Escape Hatch In Case A Republicans Win The White House

The New York Post reports:
Back up the shredders — the Tea Party could be coming.

The city’s new municipal- ID program allows for personal info provided by applicants to be destroyed at the end of 2016, in case a conservative Republican wins the White House and demands the data, the law’s co-sponsor told The Post on Monday.

City Councilman Carlos Menchaca (D-Brooklyn) said the measure was crafted so data submitted by those seeking the cards can be destroyed on Dec. 31, 2016.

The cards are aimed at undocumented immigrants.

“In case a Tea Party Republican comes into office and says, ‘We want all of the data from all of the municipal-ID programs in the country,’ we’re going to take the data,” he explained.

The next president assumes office Jan. 20, 2017.

“That date is an important signal to the future of immigration reform. That allows us to prepare for any new leadership,” Menchaca said.
New York City makes its' own immigration law. Anyway, hopefully a future Attorney General will put these local public officials in jail for brazenly violating federal immigration law. This is a blatant racketeering enterprise.
