New York To Issue Secure Licenses To Illegals
Sometimes I question President's Bush judgement. Not often, mind you, but sometimes, especially where the issue of illegal aliens is involved.
Newsday is carrying an article about a deal cut between President Bush and the State of New York where New York will implement a new form of secure driver's licenses in exchange to being able to issue them to illegal aliens. From the Newsday article:
The deal comes about one month after New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer announced a plan whereby illegal immigrants with a valid foreign passport could obtain a license.Saturday's agreement with the Homeland Security Department will create a three-tier license system in New York. It is the largest state to sign on so far to the government's post-Sept. 11 effort to make identification cards more secure.
Spitzer, who has faced much criticism on the issue, said the deal means New York "will usher in the most secure licensing system in the nation."
Quite frankly, New York can implement this system of secure licenses without a provision for issuing them to illegal aliens. That New York is implementing the issue of driver's licenses to illegal aliens is not surprising as Spitzer is a hard-left Democrat.
