FRED-Drivers Licenses for Illegal Aliens:“Recipe for Voter Fraud”
FRED08 ^ | 10-31-07 | Fred Thompson

Posted on 10/31/2007 11:00:50 PM PDT by tcrlaf

While Hillary Clinton was speaking out both sides of her mouth at last night’s debate over the issue of drivers licenses for illegal aliens, what went unsaid is that this is a recipe for increased voter fraud.

Under the federal “Motor Voter” law (the National Voter Registration Act of 1993), states must provide applicants for drivers licenses with the opportunity to register to vote.

Giving legal drivers licenses to illegal immigrants is wrong and would provide them the opportunity to register to vote in our country. People who are not citizens of the United States should not be encouraged by pandering politicians to further break our laws and risk the health of our political system.

UPDATE: Fred spoke to reporters in San Jose today:

As far as I’m concerned, I think giving drivers licenses to illegals is a bad idea for a lot of reasons. I think we have to quit inducing people to come and stay if they’re illegal.

I think it’s a disservice to the millions of people who stood in long lines around the world at American embassies to come here and play by the rules and become American citizens and become productive and great parts of our society.

But when you’re making it easier, when you’re providing sanctuary cities and telling your local officials that they can’t even cooperate with federal authorities, and then saying its a federal responsibility, I think that’s an irresponsible way to go,

Drivers licenses are the nearest thing to an ID card that we’ve got in this country. Your need your drivers license for everything. Why aren’t they being apprehended and sent home if they come in and announce that they’re illegal?

We’ve either got to be serious enforcing our laws or not. I don’t think we can afford to be selective in that regard.

More common sense from Fred. Hillary dancing around the issue last night was truly a thing to behold.

Kudos to Russert for at least trying to get a straight answer out of her.

Good grief and I was just reading a blurb about how FDT was not saying anything about HRC’s gaffe on driver licenses for illegals at last night’s dem debate.

A brilliant stroke by FDT, not only does it point out the error of HRC concerning driver licences for illegals but it also associates her with supporting potential ‘voter fraud’!

And believe me, in 2008, MoveOn, Acorn and many of Hillary’s union thugs are going to be creating votes out of thin air in every critical district they target.

And yet, CNN International at Noon Eastern today was giving Hillary glowing reviews for her debate peformance, and defending herself from those evil men....

In the end, those that control the propoganda organs are going to control the image...

AGREED...
IMHO, Democrat Voter Fraud is the greatest threat that this country faces, even beyond outside terrorism.

It threatens our very ideas of freedom and choice, and if we don’t start taking action NOW to counter it, we’re going to screw ourselves...

It’s so great to see a leading candidate address this issue. I’ve waited decades to see it.

If she felt cowed and threatened in the debate, what’s gonna happen when some foreign leader gives her a bitch slapping like Khrushchev gave Kennedy at Vienna?

ICBW, but I see the NY DL scam as just another skirmish in the DNC’s “Fifty State Strategy.”

The left wants illegals to have drivers licenses so that they can have accidents and we can’t sue them cuz they have no assets.
Also, so that they will thank the dems and vote for them.

when you’re providing sanctuary cities and telling your local officials that they can’t even cooperate with federal authorities

He slammed Hillary pretty hard, but he also got this swipe in at Giuliani, too.
