thanks, bfl

I wanted to look for this travesty.

Get a passport!

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

What makes him think they will get insurance? But now that the insurance companies know how many there are your rate will be raised accordingly.

[stephenjohnbanker]

This must be a federal crime!

[Reaganwuzthebest]

This guy is a total nut case. Where is the state legislature on this and why aren’t they getting ready for the Real ID Act? Even if this goes through it’ll only be good for a few years so it’s obvious Spitzball doesn’t care about the state or its citizens, only the vote.

[upchuck]

He said the current restrictions on non-citizens have filled the roads with unlicensed drivers five times more likely to get into accidents.

And now, thanks to the moron Spitzer, that sentence will be:

Lifting the current restrictions on non-citizens will fill the roads with unlicensed drivers five times more likely to get into accidents.

[LNewman]

Agreed! It’s high time states still having a representative form of government suspend DL ID reciprocity to residents of states pulling this cr@p!

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Liberalismn is a suicidal mental disorder.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

I agree, illegal immigrants need to be “brought out of the shadows”. And then deported.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

After the illegals get a driver’s license, they’re going to use it to vote. The RATS figure they will vote for them.

Yep.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Free insurance will be the next step

Might as well add auto insurance to Hillary's free medical insurance scheme. It's all insurance, after all, and best of all, it's free.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

It’s racist to ask illegals to pay for insurance.

[Sioux-san]

Bingo - YOu got it. That’s the point behind not making people prove anything other than residence (electric bill, rental agreements.) Michigan doesn’t require proof of citizenship either. Our Republican Sec. of State requires is a SSN. If you don’t have one, you have to agree to apply for one. This has simply got to stop. Our country is going down the chute................

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

OK, so Arnold’s only 95% RINO.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Route 100 in Somers N.Y. now has flashing signs in Spanish telling Spanish speaking people that it’s dangerous to pass on the right.

This is what happens when you vote for a Dumocrat.

QUISLING: a synonym for traitor, someone who collaborates with the invaders of his country.

Current federal law 8USC 1373(a) PROHIBITS SANCTUARY CITIES. It reads as follows:

"Notwithstanding any other provision of federal, state, or local law, a federal, state, or local government entity or official may not prohibit, or in any way restrict any government entity or official from sending to, or receiving from, the Immigration and Naturalization Service information regarding the citizenship or immigration status, lawful or unlawful, of any individual."

[jmyrlefuller]

Don’t blame me, I voted for Faso.

And I’m about ready to throw my hat into the ring for state senate in 2008 if this nonsense doesn’t stop.

This is what you get when you try this “one New York” philosophy Spitzer’s tried to shove down our throats. You get New York City liberals trying to tell upstaters like myself what’s wrong and what’s right and then they’ll force feed it to us.

[WOSG]

“Spitzer is such POS. New York already had one of the most stringent licensing requirements. This man makes me sick. How do we stop this? Can we move to impeach this schmuck?”

Democrat Is and Democrat Does.

Brilliant, just brilliant. Next time they want to have a bomb plot in NYC, they wont need to go to another state to get the faked-up drivers license... they can stay right there. And its also brilliant to go against the Real ID Act, making the NY drivers license unfit as an ID at airports.

Nice way to make the state a magnet for illegals.

“This governor has chosen to give the keys to the city, the keys to the state to terrorism,” Golden said.

Right-O.
