He’s not a popular guy with fellow Dhimmicrats, particularly in the NY legislature. He certainly doesn’t keep people waiting around to find out what is his position on things, though. :’)
dios mio no es bueno....
Sorry people. This is how ABC is spinning this:
“Clinton has been criticized by her Democratic and Republican rivals for her noncommittal answers on the subject. She has said she sympathizes with governors like Spitzer who are forced to confront the issue of immigration because the federal government has not enacted immigration reform. She has not taken a position on the actual plan offered by Spitzer.”

I hope he cleared this with Hillary first.
Let me add to that. He looked like a fool. From what I've read, he bypassed the NY legislature to issue this anti-American decree and threatened to take legal action against any clerks who refused to go along with his policy.
72% of New Yorkers, including democrats, opposed him and my guess is that he was advised by shrewder pols to throw in the towel on this one.
It doesn't entirely get Hillary off the hook.
Shrillery should be asked point-blank (no wiggle room), YES or NO, will she vote for that bill if/when it comes up in the Senate. Better yet, will she take the lead as a co-sponsor in the Senate and work hard for the passage of such a bill working toward a nationwide ban on licenses for illegals?? YES or NO, Shrillery, no waffles or flip-flops.
There’s a new ‘RAT debate coming up and this would be a great question for Wolf Blitzer to ask, unless he’s too intimidated by all the warnings to him from Clintonistas that he’d better be nice and servile and kiss up to Shrillery.
[I don’t know what the legal mechanism is for Peter King’s bill, but usually I think something like that on the federal level has to be tied to federal transportation funds, i.e., the feds can’t write law for state DMVs but they can say “only states which enact THIS policy are eligible for federal transportation funds??? Something like that....]
Total b.s., Shrillery!!!!
No state ought to provide driver’s licenses (or any type of legal ID) to anyone who is not in the country LEGALLY. We don’t have to have “comprehensive immigration reform” of a liberal b.s. nature to apply sensible and rational LAWS and to require LEGAL behaviors.
AND, since it’s been well known at least since 9/11 (should have been well known forever) that terrorists can take advantage of such big loopholes as programs to provide legal status or documents of any kind to people in the country illegally, it ought to be a no-brainer (even for liberals) that such shamnesty coddling of illegals is BAD for national security as well as a coddling of criminals.
Finally, some good news, if true.
“Notice how it went away just before the next Dem Debate.”
Yeah.. quite a coincidence, huh?
” We don’t have to have “comprehensive immigration reform” of a liberal b.s. nature to apply sensible and rational LAWS and to require LEGAL behaviors.”
AMEN, brother!!!
Oklahoma’s new laws, cutting off all benefits, and making the transport and harboring (which includes renting an apartment) illegal aliens demonstrates the only immigration reform that is needed. Illegals are leaving the state in droves. Now, if we can just pass it in more states. Let those few states who don’t go bankrupt when all the illegals go there.
Correction to above.. I meant to say ..
and making the transport and harboring (which includes renting an apartment) illegal aliens A FELONY
Hillary probably gave him a call and ordered him to shelve it until after her election, or else, meet some of her people in Marcy Park.
Bunch of cowards.... these liberals would squeal like stuck pigs if the law was enforced with a secure border.... Washington has been handling this whole mess and look where we are.
Trust me, if there is any way he can figure out how to give New York's illegal aliens drivers licenses and therefore get their votes without losing the election, he will do it.
FLIP
FLOP
In other news, Eliot still have his head up his ass.
