The NY Goobernatorial debate, and ample proof why beaners flock to such venues:

"...The candidates were asked whether they would enforce the federal law that went into effect July 1, mandating that states require proof of citizenship from Medicaid applicants.

Spitzer responded: "I would not enforce that provision . . . I do not believe that it is the role of the state to be transformed into one big I.N.S. agent."

Spitzer added that he'd be prepared to issue an executive order similar to one in New York City, where municipal employees are forbidden to ask about an individual's immigration status.

Suozzi has been boasting about his "reform" credentials - particularly on Medicaid - and how his experience in an executive position makes him different than Spitzer. But this was his answer:

"I've always been a very strong supporter of immigrant rights and continue to be so . . . [We should] not try and take over the role of the federal government to enforce their laws. It's inappropriate, I believe, for local officials, whether it's police officers or Medicaid applicant recipients or anyone else in the state government, to take over the job of federal officials."

Let's translate this into plain English, if you will.

Both men said it would be their policy to ignore the law of the land. That's a staggering admission, especially coming from Spitzer - who is at present New York's chief law-enforcement officer and who, barring a cataclysmic event, will be New York's next governor.

What other federal laws does he intend to ignore?

Congress, after all, has every right to set eligibility criteria for entitlements; it determined that only legal immigrants have a right to Medicaid access.

Given that Washington ponies up a major chunk of the $44.5 billion New York will spend on Medicaid this year, its claim on setting eligibility requirements seems solid on the merits.

And we don't doubt that if Washington chooses to make an issue of it, Washington will win.

But the real issue, again, is the contempt for law demonstrated by men seeking New York's highest elective office."

Few illegals could subsist were it not for those who break the law in order to shelter them. And here's the next Governor of New York saying that all are welcome. Such traitorous scum are obviously awaiting the ascension of a leftwing President who'd back their play, so let's stay on our toes and surprise them come '08.

After all, we cannot simply throw off the yoke of such criminal dictatorships that ignore the will of the people, and hang their supporters. That'd be SO 1776.
