More On The Travesty Of Illegal Aliens Obtaining Drivers Licenses...

"...600,000 alien fugitives who had been ordered to appear for immigration hearings or were, in fact, ordered deported from the United States and then managed to abscond in communities around the United States where they are now hiding in plain sight among us. Hundreds of thousands of these illegal aliens have convictions for serious crimes committed in the United States. These aliens would be able to secure driver’s licenses under Governor Spitzer’s proposal.

It is also entirely possible that an illegal alien may have been previously deported from the United States one or more times for having committed felonies in our country and then managed to slip back into our country surreptitiously. Such illegal aliens may also succeed in gaining a driver’s license under Governor Spitzer’s proposal because the immigration status of aliens seeking a driver’s license is of no apparent concern to the governor.

The proposal announced by Governor Spitzer would violate the provisions of the Real ID Act, legislation enacted by the federal government in the wake of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

It would be difficult to accept that the governor of any state would ignore the findings of the 9/11 Commission but to imagine that the Governor of the state that clearly bore the brunt of that horrific attack at a location, is absolutely impossible to comprehend. A government’s primary responsibility is to provide for the safety and well-being of the people who live within the jurisdiction of that government."

If you've not been keeping abreast of the situation or have let it slide, this would be a good time to click into the headline link and refresh your memory. Rumor has it that Spitzer is backing down, but liberals NEVER back down from a dysfunctional principle, they merely wait for the smoke to clear. We cannot allow this man to slip one by us, its simply too important an issue.
