2)Ethnic civil war?
3)Middle-class emigration?
4)none of the above?

5.) Balkanization of USA
6.) South Africa-ization of USA caused by exponential growth of Third World culture and its refusal to assimilate, leading to even greater economic disparity, and the gradual elimination of the middle class (due to results of over-taxation to pay for growing Welfare State).

Spitzer deals a terrible blow to the reputation of State Attorney General’s office as training wheels.

That was a beautiful thing.

Eliot Spitzer was inaugurated as New York’s 54th Governor on January 1, 2007. In his inaugural address, Governor Spitzer said: “Every policy, every action and every decision we make in this administration will further two overarching objectives: We must transform our government so that it is as ethical and wise as all of New York, and we must rebuild our economy so that it is ready to compete on the global stage in the next century”.

So, in his mind, it’s ethical to give criminal ILLEGAL immigrants with no proof of identity and presenting false Social Security numbers (ie: Identity Theft – an American citizen out there somewhere is victimized for the personal profit of an illegal alien) NY State driver’s licenses… and it’s wise to be an enabler for potential terrorists? No. Of course not.

Oh, I see then. He wants to rebuild New York’s economy on the backs of illegal immigrants and he’s enabling THEM to be there to do it for him. Well, hey, he’s not so stupid after all. That’s thinking outside the box!

Eliot Spitzer is the Governor of an entire State (think about that), and he’s also a DEMOCRAT that more than likely has his eyes on the prize. At his relatively young age he could definitely have aspirations to go on to Congress. He governs a good sized well populated state that’s also home to the metropolis where the most horrific act of terrorist aggression that ever took place on American soil in history nearly brought this country to its knees, and still might in the long run, and he has no comprehension of what he is doing?

Training wheels… indeed!

Color them red for easy identification.

Then ICE can use them as a round up tool for illegals.

1)Secession of the American southwest?
2)Ethnic civil war?
3)Middle-class emigration?
4)none of the above?

Interesting. Great find.

Yeah, your fed law excerpt was a good one. I mentioned NYS Code Section 502 regarding the SSN requirement in that same Spitzer-License thread here at HA.

I’ve been surprised that NY pols who were up in arms about this hadn’t used either of those issues as arguments.

Spitzer gives the illegals licenses by “executive order”, Clinton gets all the newly licensed illegals and Andrew Cuomo (NYS Attorney General) wont do a thing perhaps because Spitzer promised him Clinton’s vacant senate seat.

In NY the Gov. fills a vacant senate seat until the next election which in the case of Hillary’s seat would be 2010.

And don’t forget.. in NY like other states you REGISTER to VOTE WHEN YOU GET OR RENEW YOUR LICENSE!

If I hear one more politician side-slap ME for MY “immorality,” I think I’ll go postal. Time to invest in a mirror.

Sick ‘em, Lou!

Unfortunately, you’re right. Pity, because here’s a case for impeachment if I ever say one.

While we can applaud that even in deep blue state like New York, a majority opposes rewarding illegal aliens with the gift of driver’s licenses, the poll itself is extremely troubling.

If 58% of New Yorkers oppose Eliot Spitzer’s plan, does that mean that 42% are actually in favor of it?

I am not sure.

Maybe a small percentage are undecided. Maybe another percentage will say, “not sure.” But then again, maybe it is quite possible that a high number, in a deep blue state like New York, actually do FAVOR the governor’s plan?

What does that say about where our culture is heading?

What does that say about the complete disrespect for the rule of law?

That people would actually favor rewarding illegal behavior is mind-boggling.

When we give people who are here illegally driver’s licenses, in effect, we are condoning and accepting their illegal behavior.

Suppose I get pulled over for speeding. And I tell the officer, “I do not want a fine. I drove at an illegal rate of speed. But I do not want the penalty. I do not want the penalty though I want the benefits of being able to drive wherever and whenever and at whatever speeds I choose.”

Of course the officer will then ticket me, and rightly so.

Or suppose I choose not to purchase car insurance, and I then choose to drive illegally.

The rule of law stipulates that we enforce the laws, no matter how unpleasant or how unpopular these laws may seem at times.

Society will descend quickly into chaos, when the governing authorities reward illegal behavior.

The enemy within!

Yeah, but our computers don’t.

It’s a cable company glitch. They do happen at 4 am.

O/T, but do you are Michelle ever sleep?

Why stop at driver’s licenses? Give them gun licenses, too.

Then enroll them all in flight school

Ochlan on October 9, 2007 at 10:48 AM

Then provide them with a HazMat license.

Miss_Anthrope on October 9, 2007 at 11:09 AM

Why stop even there? With states like Texas that have “motor voter” laws, they can now VOTE, too. It’s like making them defacto U.S. Citizens.
Absurd.

Kind of like the $2,600 and freedom the Saudis gave their brave Gitmo Jihad fighters that returned from fighting the evil Americans?
