Spitzer is crazy! 9/11 happened while he was attorney general. Doesn't he know that a few of the hijackers had Driver Licenses, even through they were in the country illegally. One of them was even stopped and not arrested because he had a Driver License. I sorry to all NY residents (I used to be one), but Federal Aid should be denied to New York State because of this. No state should accept a New York State License as identification now.

Spitzer thinks 911 was a secret CIA operation.

You can't expect rational thought out of a guy like that.

Leave the bank vaults open for bank robbers too!

He is interested in only one thing: making as many Democrat voters as possible.

Absurd. Amazing how weakly we defend our sovereignty during a time of war. It is pure luck that we haven’t been hit again with how open we leave our Southern border and with the lackadaisical approach we take to immigration enforcement.

[BlessedBeGod]

A victory for all NY terrorists.

[Clintonfatigued]

There is no excuse, no justification for this. The only beneficiaries are illegal aliens, the greedy shills that employ them, and terrorists.

Under what authority can Governor Spitzer do this? He’s makin up his own laws.

[squibs]

Agree.
This is the DUMBEST thing I ever heard (ever)!!

The problem is that now all these newly licensed NY drivers can drive with that license anywhere in the US. (including those who will go to NY for a license, provide a NY address, then return to their illegally adopted home state)

More like getting people out of the shadows and out to the voting booths.

[isrul]

What about voting. Doesn't’t this open the door for these vermin to do that? Especially, last I heard, NY was a motor voter state. The election of this creepy looking freak is turning out to be the predictable nightmare. He’s as bad as Bush with this bringing out of the shadows crap.

“The problem is they’re gonna drive anyway,” Madden said. “You might as well make them legal drivers with insurance.””

Oh, please. Like they buy insurance. Give me a break.

[dragnet2]

The state will no longer require proof of citizenship for driver's licenses.

[annelizly]

i’ll bet its a 100% harder for a red blooded american teenager to get a license than it is for these illegals. now how is that justice?

[longtermmemmory]

NY State is going to get a FLOOD of illegal aliens.

NY State is going to get a FLOOD of illegal alien voters.

...the Department of Motor Vehicles will accept foreign passports and birth certificates...

What about voting.

This was hot on talk radio in the New York area this morning. Every caller was steamed. One caller suggested that they be a different color so they can't vote. Another caller was concerned that one official document leads to another - like a pilot's license. One caller was most concerned about auto insurance, or the lack of. The folks up there aren't pleased. I believe I heard that this will have trouble passing the NY Senate.

My question - every one of the half-million illegals have passports? Not likely...

[bilhosty]

I sent emails to all of my states legislators telling them that they ought not to recognize New York licenses in Georgia. I have already gotten back some replies of agreement though none of them are more than a sentence or so.
