    Like this is really going to work. Part of the requirement to get the license is to have a “valid & verifiable” foriegn passport. I’m not exactly sure how you get a passport, but I believe you have to go through the federal gov’t to get one.

    How can the gov’t issue “valid” passports to “illegal” immigrants.

    Deport their !!!

    We need to stop being the garbage can of the world – close our borders – kick these damn people out and take care of our own!!!

    Living in a Border State you see a heck of a lot more than the rest of the country…and the rest of the country is in a tailspin!!! What is wrong with these people???

    Our hospitals are over run with “illegals” that have no money – no insurance – no business being here – our school system is a joke – if they don’t belong here then let them go home and get an education.

    AZ immigrants were pushing to allow ILLEGALS to pay “instate” college tuition instead of out of state fees – First of all… My AMERICAN BORN is supposed to be taking up that seat at the lecture hall – not some illegal alien that doesn’t belong here in the first place – and to boot… they want to pay less ? ? ? ? Maybe they need a lesson in the ENGLISH language – I L L E G A L – means you don’t have ANY RIGHTS under our laws, our constitution or our roof – Go HOME!

    Gimme a break – I’m so sick of the entire immigration thing it makes me puke

    Shut the doors – close the borders – stop sending our hard earned tax dollars overseas to take care of the rest of the world and clean up our own mess…

    You get your own house in order – then play Santa.. Until then get a grip!

    The country needs an uprising and get ALL of these bleeding heart politicians out of office and clean house – What are we paying our taxes for???? Why is a country that is

    Helen: you were doing OK except the attempt to have us regulate other countries. Nonsense… allocate your resources, and clean up things here first — you NEED that American business to prosper, or you’ll be done before you start. As for penalizing those that hire illegals — good start. Just allow the honest employers a system of verification, because some of the illegal paperwork has gotten REALLY good.

    Spitzer: Eventually the voter base of this guy has to wake up. He has some good ideas, but he’s dangerous because he pretends he’s Emporer — making his own rules by edict under whatever power base he has. Imagine the exponential growth of his over-reaching the farther he goes. He is a bully. There is a great need for a counterbalance within our government to appropriately trim his wings — which is the point of our system of government.

    Illegals getting licenses: Simply put, this is the emporer’s way of declaring his own law — you’d better pay serious attention to this act. Our federal government must settle this issue, and governors don’t get to play this game. If you’re an illegal, you’re an illegal… either get legal, or hide in the shadows where you belong.

    Immigration: This is broken. We need a ton more people that we legally allow. We need to admit that, make the adjustment, and then RECRUIT THE BEST TALENT. Come on folks… whomever becomes a citizen will either make us a stronger or weaker team in worldwide competition. So rather than leave the gates open, and hope the right folks sneak in, we need to deport every single illegal, allow a ton more to apply, and then manage our personnel like any other business venture. Do we need masons, computer geeks, road builders, farmers, or what? If we need legalized masons, then I’m confident that we can recruit those jobs and get plenty of applicants, and we can then select the best. If a “rookie” joins our team, but gets into criminal trouble, then we “send them back down” — by deporting them.

    This is a BIG problem… not a HARD problem like politicians keep pretending it is. You start with some basic planning, and eventually, you have legalized workers that you’re proud to add as citizens, and they’re thrilled to be here and not have to hide from the new country they begin to love! It just ain’t rocket science.

    The valid and legal passport of the illegal immigrant would be issued from the country where they came from and not issued from the USA.

    Elected leaders often hide their ulterior motives by acting as though they are taking the “high road” and being on the “cutting edge” of issues. They hide behind slogans like being politically correct.
    What’s next, Gov. Spitzer? Do you want them all to register to vote, now that you’ve given away drivers licenses?

    Here’s a definition of political correctness that fits both you and Hillary quite well:

    “Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
    holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
    by the clean end.”

    Eliots on a roll. First he extorts money from the insurance industry now he is going to create another mess. Those of us Americans who pay taxes and insure our vehicles will have to pay for a licensed uninsured illegal. At least we will have a piece of mind, when a licensed illegal driver causes an accident and is uninsured, government will know where the illegal is at. Democrats have to be proud to have another socialists with a God complex in office.
    Our elected officials are out of control and have no regards for Americans. It’s just power baby!

    Our country has lost it’s identity and now this putz wants to make things even worse. FDR would turnover in his grave at how we’ve allowed immigrants to come here with no intenion of assimilating. They dress the same as they did in the old country, speak their native tongue not English, eat the same ethnic foods, cling to the same customs, watch their native country TV via satellite, wear their native garb, and have no “skin in the game”. If Americans don’t wake us soon and start being assertive, this country will look like the bar room scene in Star Wars.

    It’s amazing how out of hand everything is getting and now the marketers are trying to appease. So we have our multi-cultural politicians who have lost their perspective in the United States and now we have advertisers who are continuing in stride. There really is a disregard for the true American way.
    Politicians like Spitzer and Clinton look for ways to build their political base without any regard for legality. Hillary with her husband pardoning the Puerto Rican Nationals and her fundraising with Norman Hsu. Now Spitzer with giving illegals more legitimacy in the U.S. and taxpayers keep funding these ego maniacs and their schemes.
    It is very sad!

    For New York and any other cities that find it difficult to read the organization chart. Who the hell are they pandering to anyway?
