Once again, the little people get to pay for the policies of New York’s progressives — this time, at the airport.

On Wednesday, the Department of Homeland Security announced that it is suspending renewals and enrollments for Global Entry and other Trusted Traveler programs for New York residents — thanks to the state’s 2019 “Green Light Law,” which allows undocumented immigrants to get driver’s licenses and bans the Department of Motor Vehicles from sharing info with immigration officials unless a judge orders it.

That will cut off roughly 175,000 New Yorkers from the federal program, which speeds up entry when returning from abroad. And more than 80,000 who applied for new memberships will not get them.

In short, New York travelers are paying the price for New York politicians taking a stand against federal law.

DHS says it’s as simple as this: If US Customs and Border Protection can’t access DMV records, it can’t OK any Trusted Traveler applicant. (Other states let illegal immigrants get licenses, but only New York blocks the feds from DMV records.)

State Attorney General Letitia James says she’ll sue, but the Empire State hasn’t had a lot of court success against the Trump administration.

State politicians claim the move is just Trump administration pique, but even if that were so, it was perfectly foreseeable: The president hasn’t been coy about his position on sanctuary cities, etc.

Elected officials typically have some way to zip through lines everywhere, so they won’t feel the pain: It’s the rest of us who have to pay the price for their posturing.
