New York state Sen. Gustavo Rivera wants to pass legislation to give illegal immigrants the right to vote in local and state elections…

The legislation not only gives illegal immigrants the right to vote, but establishes a kind of second-tiered citizenship on a state level, in which illegal immigrants can apply for tuition assistance, health insurance and driver’s and professional licenses, among other benefits.

“It’s mind-boggling,” says Michael Olivas, a professor at the University of Houston Law Center who specializes in immigration law, according to Businessweek. “I don’t believe there’s ever been a serious attempt to codify so many benefits and opportunities.” 

Rivera acknowledges his New York Is Home Act is too extreme even for New York – for now.
