....someone in NY seems to have heard of 9/11 — unlike Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Karen Smith.
She issued a temporary restraining order against the DMV crackdown, first announced last August, on license issues to people who can't prove they're in the US legally.......Justice Smith declared that the DMV isn't authorized to enforce federal immigration law, since NY is one of only a dozen states that allows non-residents and illegal immigrants to obtain driver's licenses. (When will the Legislature change that, we wonder?)
To be sure, some illegal aliens who do not pose any kind of threat have found themselves caught in the crackdown, which also authorizes DMV to suspend driving privileges for up to 300,000 people.
But that, says MV Commissioner Raymond Martinez, is because "the system unfortunately has no way to differentiate" between illegal aliens who otherwise are law-abiding citizens "and a person bent on bringing terror, fear and destruction to our country."
Now, it also can't be noted too often that anyone who is in this country illegally hardly qualifies for the label law-abiding.
Indeed, driver's licenses serve as the only ID needed to board airplanes and enter many buildings with security guards.
But back in 1995, the DMV began requiring all driver's-license applicants to submit their SS number, in an effort to find child-support delinquents.
But an even bigger problem emerged — identity theft.
More than 100,000 licensed drivers are believed to have had their SS numbers stolen — mostly by people using multiple identities to hide criminal driving records.
In other words, this is not an anti-immigrant measure, as alleged by the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund, which has filed a class-action lawsuit against it.
........state officials have a responsibility....to protect all New Yorkers.

Bueno! Great movie tambien.
Illegal immigration corrupts our ENTIRE legal system. You hve to create an entire class of laws that can be broken with impunity by a privileged class (of aliens no less). Laws that go by the wayside include: minimum wage, OHSHA, workers compensation, drivers license residence verification, identity theft (of SS numbers), moving vehicle violations (Mexicans with no identity or address simply don't show up to court), college residency requirements (see Arkansas), HUD home financing, the immigration laws themselves (including slavery, human trafficking and child worker laws), welfare qualifications, etc. etc.
Bush et. al. have no idea how terrible a path they have us on.
<< America should mandate proof for all cash transfers out of the US and/or force all transferring agencies -- banks, credit unions, Amex, Western Union to collect a substantial withholding tax -- 50%, say -- on every unexplained foreign remittance. >>
Hear! Hear!
Absolutely!
I have spent much of my adult life contracting to states, nations and corporations all over the world and have come to accept that when repatriating any foreign earnings, a witholding tax or other acceptable documentation [Explanation] is simply Par for the course.
But we let Scores of Billions of legally and illegally transfered Dollars simply slip away unaccounted for -- and the Fed even counts on and factors in a percentage of the Money supply simply [Criminally] disappearing abroad every year.
Are we nuts? Or what?
Cultural costs are almost never considered, either. The neighborhoods I mentioned almost always suffer from higher crime, vandalism, noise pollution and parking space congestion. Satellite dishes sprout like mushrooms in defiance of codes so illegals can remain insulated from English language and American customs. Signs become cluttered with Spanish reiterations where all preceding "immigrants" were fully expected to learn English.
I'd go on but I have to go look for an affordable apartment where I no longer have to deal with these atrocities on a daily basis.
Got to ranting and forgot to ping.
I get so sick of this lie. One person by themselves isn't much of a threat. 15 to 22 million of them is definately a threat. 60 to 75 million of them within the next ten years is a serious threat.
Every illegal alien is a threat.
BTTT
"Ironically, one of the big selling points of the NAFTA deal was that it would greatly alleviate illegal Mexican border-jumping......but since that time it has skyrocketed."
>>>
That was a bald-faced LIE since day one.
The number of US jobs that jumped south of the border left many Americans high and dry.
The sense of entitlement by foreigners/illegals is an outrage---like US citizens have to be grateful for supporting these freeloaders.
BTT
(Think I should hire that out? I know some cheap hired help who . .)
I'm going to the Rescue Mission if I need to hire help. I'd rather finance a citizen's bad habits than enable an illegal to stay another day here.
Yoo hoo, Presidente Bush, who is your constituency?
We have a complex on the block where the illegals residents spray painted a BIG "BASURA" on the dumpster so they'd know where to dump their trash.
And I picked up an "Army of One" brochure at the corner store written solamente in Español. No English brochures were present. I'm wondering how valuable it is to have an Army that doesn't speak the language.

Hahahahahahaha. Truer than they know. :)
Anyway, Labor Ready's Code of Conduct states:
"Employees are expected to obey and comply with all applicable laws and regulations that impact our business, including laws governing employment, immigration, labor relations, safety, securities and corporate governance. In addition, all employees are expected to be familiar with and comply with the Company's various policies and procedures.
I would believe communication to be an imperative in any army of more than "one."
wow, my favorite. I'll distribute that one "liberally".
