The Democrats wink at all this because they know that legalization will lead to a huge underclass (soon to be joined by millions of friends and relatives) of welfare chiseling Democratic voters. What they don’t realize is that as the population quality declines we will, in fact, become a poverty-dominated third world country.

And in New York, if the Democrats can’t get Amnesty, they will just get driver’s licenses which will lead to voter registrations, which will acomplish the same thing. Unlike Houston, which has a great Republican Tax-Assessor Collector who is looking for this type of fraudulent voter registration, I doubt New York will bother to try to sort out illegals from their voting rolls.

Jerks.

Do you think maybe he’s hired some FEMA people to help him plan press conferences?

Spitzer relied on the usual shibboleth when he called Dobbs a “racist” for his illegal alien stand.

The truth is that these lawbreakers are criminals several times over in almost every instance. The first crime is criminal trespass followed (and sometimes concurrent with) document forgery. One crime for each document forged. After that the crimes diminish in percentage but increase alarmingly in degree and include robbery, burglary, rape, murder and other acts of violence and anarchy. The reward for all of this? You committed multiple crimes and are awarded for it.

The Dems are determined to get their illegal immigrant voter block no matter what. Folks in NY need to stop this.

Precisely. This IDs for illegals scheme is a counter to the voter ID laws requiring voters to show positive ID at polling places. The Dembots have consistently opposed those laws.

The whole thing is an organized attempt to commit mass voter fraud.

Swami, John Fund has an article on this subject which QandO posted on.

I want to know how big a carbon spewing limo he’s using to hold the conference and how fast he’s speeding to stay ahead of the political paparazzi following him, so fix the header!!!!!

Oh yeah, and do it for the children!!! :)

And this says it all about the media - even by Harvard.

Any NY’ers here that can verify or deny?

All states are required to allow motorists who are applying for DL to register to vote.
It’s the 1993 Federal Motor Voter Act.
Not just New York

who has been getting mauled from all sides for his compromise plan on providing driver’s licenses to immigrants
We have our current frontrunner for the Most Shameless Use Of The “Illegal Immigrants” Sans “Illegal” Euphemism Award.

Well spotted, but didn’t you get the memo?

Before reading every MSM article on “immigration reform”, you have to use global spell check (grep for Linux users) to change ‘immigrant’, ‘migrant’, ‘national’, ‘undocumented’, etc., to ‘illegal alien.’

You’d think he’d know better.

Immigrant leaders say Spitzer turns his back on them by José Acosta, El Diario / La Prensa, 29 October 2007. Translated from Spanish by Marissa Billowitz.
“We do not want the governor to create a culture that separates documented from undocumented people. We don’t want an undocumented person to have a different license from anyone else,” said Javier Valdés of the New York Immigration Coalition. MORE

“create a culture” – a culture of … corruption??

The three tier license plan is pissing off EVERYBODY. I love it! What a great way to demonstrate the absurdity of lax immigration enforcement, amnesty, sanctuary cities, and all the other crap Kennedy, Bush, La Raza, et al, have been spooning out as “comprehensive reform”.

reporters from independent and ethnic newspapers

Racial profiling!

No sane Democrat would think that struggling in a tar pit would get you out of this mess.

Think extinct dinosaurs.

PS: Karl – GREAT timing with Spitzer’s original pronouncement and Russert’s questioning!!

Governor Eliot Spitzer, presumably in a bid to rescue what remains of his once boundless political capital, squandered so breathtakingly quickly in the 10 months since he took office, is currently conducting a super secret press conference.
