I truly believe if we would hammer the Dems on this we would gain substantial votes most Democrats are as upset about this as we are.
Hope NY does not accept old TN licences from the illegal aliens...
As of Feb 2007, they are no longer valid...
FINALLY, illegal aliens CANNOT get drivers licences here...
Just ask us about the results...
NY, fight this travesty...dont let it happen to you...
I know the insanity continues, but Jesus, does it have to keep getting worse?
I thought this was a story about the Clintons ...
“does not believe it’s in the business checking a person’s legal status”
Then just stop issuing licenses to those who cannot read nor abide by the laws and signs which are in English. How hard could THAT be?
Spitzer Policy Will Let Illegal Immigrants Get Driver's Licenses
Spitzer just got a pass on Troopergate as well.
Good point.
Although I'm not a New York resident, initially I objected to this action. But, now that I think about it, New York has every right to license drivers in their state the way they want. Pass a driving test, get a license. That the purpose of it! The license says, "I can drive a vehicle on public roads".
Now, as far as using it to "open bank accounts and rent cars" or anything else -- fuggetaboutit. It's a DRIVER'S license not an ID card. It should clearly state across the front, "Not to be used for identification purposes".
If New York passes this legislation then no private enterprise, nationwide, is required to accept New York driver's licenses as ID. Let all New York citizens pay for U.S. Passports and use them as ID.
The real question is will NY see a huge increase in voter registration due to the use of licenses as valid ID? Will there be any kind of mark on license to indicate the id used to get license (ie. foreign passport) or country of origin?
How about just checking for license eligibility? “drive them into the shadows”? Puh-leeze, they did that by sneaking into the country, then stay there since they don’t want to get caught. How do such asinine people get elected. Sigh.
Assuming NY requires proof of insurance, how are they going to enforce liability laws when they don’t know the perp’s real name??
Imagine the police walking up to the address, confronting the 6 adult males living there and attempting to determine which one is ‘Jorge Gonzalez’.
What they get is “My na iz Jose He-MA-nez”.
The cops have no way of proving one way or the other as there is no ‘paper’ on any of them.
These lawmakers are nuts.
Once again, renegade politicians direct our country in the downhill slide our forefathers warned against by doing what they want to do. Who says we live in a representitive government, I believe we are now another socialist western nation on the decline and verging on economic collapse as morality is destroyed in the quest for utopia among the elitist blind guides called politicians.
Spitzer and Bush are now responsible for all crimes committed by illegal aliens.
And, of course, they will be able to vote too—thanks to the Motor Voter law. Thanks you George Herbert Walker Bush!
YES THEY ARE IF THEY DO MOTOR VOTER!
the future cadre of the democrat progressives has to be taken care of. (and you’ll also have to pay for their brown shirts.)
The rest of the States should announce that NY Drivers licenses will no longer be recognized.
The spanish language newspapers and tv stations are lauding this as a tremendous victory for “immigration” rights. The next step is to demand the right to vote without being citizens and the right to schools in your own language. Weare headed that way one way or another. The elites have already decided where they are headed. Don’t forget that our mr. Bush is also in fovor of such solutions. The rest of us be dammed.
Doesn't the DMV check legal status in other cases? Like deadbeat dads, registered sex offenders, etc?
