Elliot Spitzer Will Allow Illegal Aliens To Obtain NY Driver's Licenses

WE all know that a drivers license is a de fact id, so a terrorist can walk off a plane at JFK, get a New York license and be free to move about NY, thanks to 'everything changes' Gov. Spitzer:

High court says NY can deny licenses to illegal immigrants

ALBANY -- New York has the right to deny driver's licenses to immigrants who can't prove they are in the country legally, the state's highest court ruled Thursday.

.....
But in July 2006, the appellate division overturned that ruling and allowed the state to require that immigrants prove they are in the United States legally to get a driver's license. The Pataki administration defended the rules, saying they were put in place to combat fraud and terrorism.

"One of the most important things we can do to keep our country safe is to make sure that the people who do come here do so legally and abide by the laws," former Gov. George Pataki said Thursday.

The issue may not be over. As a candidate in 2006, Democratic Gov. Eliot Spitzer said he would change the rule because it doesn't improve security and instead keeps immigrants from rising from "the shadows" and creates a class of people with no public records.

A spokeswoman for Gov. Eliot Spitzer said the court decision doesn't change his plans to alter the DMV rule.

The governor feels strongly that the state's driver license policies should not unnecessarily keep people who should have licenses from getting them, and the administration's efforts continue in earnest to review the considerations involved in making any policy change," said Christine Anderson.



Really? So people who are ignoring the fundamental laws of this country are people who 'should' be getting licenses?
Elliot Spitzer has proven, in his short time in office that like other officials he's not concerned with our laws, our security, or our livelihood.
