Clinton Says No to Licenses for Illegals

"Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on Wednesday came out against granting driver's licenses to illegal immigrants, after weeks of pressure in the presidential race to take a position on a now-failed ID plan from her home state governor.

Clinton has faced criticism from candidates in both parties for her noncommittal answers on New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer's attempt to allow illegal immigrants in his state to receive driver's licenses. Spitzer abandoned the effort Wednesday.

"I support Governor Spitzer's decision today to withdraw his proposal," Clinton said in a statement. "As president, I will not support driver's licenses for undocumented people and will press for comprehensive immigration reform that deals with all of the issues around illegal immigration including border security and fixing our broken system."

Clinton stumbled when asked about the issue during a Democratic debate two weeks ago, and her new position comes the day before another debate where opponents are expected to raise the issue again.

Spitzer met with New York lawmakers in Washington on Wednesday, and conceded that there was too much public opposition to his plan. Clinton did not attend the meeting.

"It does not take a stethoscope to hear the pulse of New Yorkers on this topic," he said.

The Democratic governor introduced the plan two months ago with the goal of increased security, safer roads and an opportunity to bring immigrants "out of the shadows." Opponents charged the scheme would make it easier for would-be terrorists to get identification, and make the country less safe.

The decision is another example of the roadblocks high-profile immigration reforms have faced this year. Less than five months ago, Congress failed to pass legislation that would legalize as many as 12 million unlawful immigrants and fortify the border with Mexico..."

High profile immigration reforms? Translation: Amnesty.

We the people have pretty much let it be known that there will be no amnesty. After days of not catching his show...its the lisp, the lisp drives me crazy...I tuned into Rush Limbaugh and of course he was taking credit for pointing out to us that Hillary's slip was showing. Most bloggers beat him by a day or two in predicting the ins and outs of the political spectrum, and that isn't to say he does not have a finger on the collective liberal pulse because he has but 3 hours a day to make HIS point and we have 24. Yet if ever a messenger needed whacking its is he, for he was beaten to the punch and hardly participated at all in the pummeling of Mrs. William Jefferson Clinton, who according to unnamed sources STILL calls herself Rodham on HER drivers license.

If this hilarious imbroglio accomplished one thing it was to familiarize Mrs. William with the laws of NY State, and since a Senator should know something about what goes on at home, this is a good thing. We all of us know that she is learning on the fly, why even the other day she learned that poor, two-job-working single mom waitresses expect this thing the little people refer to as a TIP.

To Inflate Politicians. Perhaps now she'll pay more attention to those diminutive citizens and their true wants, needs, and desires. If that happens she might even begin to develop her own sense of right and wrong, her very own core value system that will prevent such future snafus.

The whole drivers license deal stunned her because she was in effect asked if she favored a form of amnesty, and the seething liberal within her couldn't help but say YES. And she has not come out and said that it was a bad idea, only that she supports her Governor's withdrawal of the proposal, which by the way wasn't a proposal at all and if the local motor vehicle honchos had not raised holy hells this might have snuck through and been a done deal before any of us heard tell of it.

Even Rush.

It was over 2 weeks ago when Mrs. Clinton first said that Governor Spitzer's plan was all that and a bag of chips. Yesterday she said that she, as President, would not support such measures. In the middle she said, "yes, no, maybe, yes, no."

Lets see if Blitzer can get a reading on how she feels TODAY when he has his chance with her this evening. Even though he's been warned.

And how embarrassing is that? None of the other candidates are complaining but the Queen isn't happy so her retinue puts the media on notice.

Hells bells, woman, but stop worrying; they don't call it the Clinton News Network for nothing.
