I spend a lot of time in Montana. You are welcome there as long as you leave your illegals at home. Remember, Montanans are logical, plain spoken no-nonsense kind of people. Do you know they have a surplus regarding the state budget? Unlike coastal states, they actually plan to return it to the rightful owners, the taxpayers. Not like the insanity in Washington state where the democrats (66% of our elected politicians) are falling all over themselves to find new and exciting ways to spend the surplus in Washington. Return it to taxpayers? How hard CAN you laugh?
Don’t feel sorry for New York ever. They are just like any other socialistic state or country. In the end the leaders have to import citizens to replace the exodus. This happened in Russia after its demise from the cold war. Look at their state senators to far flung whacked out leftists who will do or say anything to get votes and remain in office. This is the same state that invited the leader of Iran to speak at one of their universities. This is the same scumbag that helps kill our men and women in Iraq everyday. New Yorkers invited him here. Why not free driver’s licences for all illegals. More vote for Senator Hillary. If Libs have their way she will be the leader of the greatest country in the world. Cherish the thought.
There was a Chemistry professor in a large college that had some
Exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab the Prof noticed one young man (exchange student) who kept rubbing his back And stretching as if his back hurt.
The professor asked the young man what was the matter. The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his country’s government and install a new communist government.
In the midst of his story he looked at the professor and asked a strange question. He asked,’Do you know how to catch wild pigs?’
The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line.
The young man said this was no joke. ‘You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come everyday to eat the free corn. When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence. They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side. The pigs, who are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat, you slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd. Suddenly, the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity.
The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening to America. The government keeps pushing us toward Communism/Socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, subsidies, welfare, medicine, drugs, etc. while we continually lose our freedoms- just a little at a time.
One should always remember ‘There is no such thing as a free Lunch!’ Also, ‘You can never hire someone to provide a service for you cheaper than you can do it yourself.
Illegal immigrants with valid foreign passports, how can you be sure their foreign passports are valid & how many do you think there are???
“The shift in policy is geared toward increasing security and reducing (I corrected the spelling) insurance premiums for all New York drivers by an anticipated total of $120 million a year, said state Motor Vehicles Commissioner David Swarts.” This of course is major BS that is being spattered as it drops — Hello??? Are you really that ignorant & made it to be the Commissioner??? How do you suppose it will save anyone any money & especially $120 Million a year? It will cost those that have insurance higher premiums for the UM/UIM (better get it), but if they get a license & have no insurance, is the State going to cover their liability until they can get it? Commish needs to put down the crack pipe, get into rehab & face reality here.
“Chung-Wha Hong, executive director of the New York Immigration Coalition, called the new policy a victory for immigrants. She said immigrant New Yorkers who could not get licenses had a difficult time making it to work and getting children to school.” Well, if they are given legal status then I would say it is a victory too — after all OJ was victorious too — but how many believe he was guilty?
“Similar policies have been adopted in Utah, New Mexico and other states.” Just because someone else jumps off a bridge, does that mean you have to do it too?
Just had to throw that last one in for Mom’s across this country….
I see nothing but hatred and bile… from citizens of a country founded on immigration. What ever happened to the United States of America, the nation of the free?
Perhaps you should be asking yourselves, “Do I truly want most of the jobs these immigrants are doing?” If so I know a couple of farmers who are hiring.
And before you ask; yes, I’m a US citizen and have been from birth.
My old Pappy used to say don’t hire crooks and liars to work your cattle. Anybody who breaks into Texas or the U.S. is a crook and illegal. It is that simple Junior. The legal ones are much more honest and hard working than the lazy crooked ones sneaking across the Rio Grande. Let’s help the legals and send all the wetbacks to Iraq for 6 years as infantryman and women. If they make it then they get a green card.
Personally I believe it is foolish, especially if I lived in New York. It is a great magnet to draw illegals to the state and increase population. It will later drain the social services. These Licenses may be used to obtain other I.D. in other states and that would be my concern.

We here in California are in the same boat. Wonder if we all could make Montana the most populous state in the union?

Now THAT is something we need to print & send to our delightful representatives! Fantastic comment. Thank you.
And this has what to do with this article? I would hate to be in your selective history class Mr. Teacher.
