So we that want to abide by the Laws are extremists? We don’t have any commonsense? I think the Gov has gone over the deep end.

Spitzer dismissed some extreme opposition to his plan this week, saying the “politics of fear and selfishness has replaced the politics of common sense and responsibility.”

I only hope that the people wake up and see what is going on here. There is a multitude of reasons that I can see as to why he would be doing this. Beef up the population so we don’t loose yet another congressional seat in the next census, more people to get on the welfare rolls, more people to vote for him and or hillary, more campaign donations from companies that benefit from illegal labor, etc….. One word…… ILLEGAL.

Opposition to Spitzer’s license plan widespread

ALBANY - The images and commentary aren’t subtle: Osama bin Laden hanging out in a New York City taxi driver’s seat, a blog headlined “Moron Spitzer Forges Ahead with Licenses for Illegals.” Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s plan to make it easier for undocumented immigrants to get driver’s licenses has been roundly assailed.

“Crazy,” said a county clerk. A threat to national security, said Rep. Randy Kuhl (R-N.Y.). A Poughkeepsie Journal editorial took a more measured approach, but still noted “taxpayers have a right to be both perplexed and outraged” over Spitzer’s plan.

In the Capitol, the political discourse has been more like talk radio. Assembly Republican leader James Tedisco paints a picture of a giddy bin Laden uncorking bubbly in a cave over Spitzer’s idea.

It all goes back to a July 2006 appeals court decision that provided the state greater latitude in issuing driver’s licenses. Then, the Republican Pataki administration wanted immigrants to prove they were in the United States legally before getting licenses. As a candidate for governor, Democrat Spitzer promised to change that. Earlier this year, as the Republican-led Senate blocked his agenda, he said he could bypass the legislature and govern the state through the agencies he controls.
