Once opposed driver's licenses for undocumented immigrants
As Erie County clerk, Hochul garnered attention for opposing then-Gov. Eliot Spitzer's proposal to allow undocumented immigrants to apply for driver's licenses without producing a Social Security card. When later asked about the issue, Hochul
said her decision at the time was based on what her constituents wanted. "Fast forward to today, I realize that this is something that fits in with my earlier work to ensure the rights of citizenship to everyone who is here," she told the publication.

2007: No drivers licenses to undocumented immigrants
Teachout opened a new front against Cuomo with criticism of his own choice for Lieutenant Governor, Kathy Hochul, who is best known in the state for her 2007 battle against a plan to issue drivers licenses to undocumented immigrants.
Teachout said that in a state that typically focuses on "honoring the dignity of all immigrants" she is "disappointed" in Hochul. She described Hochul as someone "who has not traditionally been a friend of immigrant communities."

Submit temporary guest worker applications online
America's farms are the best in the world. Our food is safer, higher in quality, and more efficiently grown than that of any other country. The labor and innovation of America's farmers puts food on the tables of not just families here at home, but for
hungry people across the world.As our farmers bring their goods to market in the 21st century economy, they expect to have a 21st century government that will help, not hinder, their business. That's why I call on the Secretary of Labor to allow
farmers to submit their H-2A applications for temporary guest workers online.
N.Y. farmers are increasingly relying on this program for the legal labor they need to plant and harvest their crops. This summer, I was absolutely shocked to learn that one
of my onion farms in Genesee County had to mail almost 20 pounds of paperwork to the Federal Government in order to participate in this program. There must be a better way. An online application program would save money for our farmers and our taxpayers.
