Why couldn’t they claim to be an illegal alien with no ID and just pick a new name?
To get the illegal alien drivers license in New York you need to present a valid passport. You can't just claim to be someone else. I suspect there will be few illegal aliens that actually apply for the New York Driver's license. Spitzer is just putting on a show of helping illegal aliens, but the IDs are pretty much useless and can only be gotten if the illegal alien gets or has a passport from their home country.
