American states are giving away the store
By Klaus Rohrich Saturday, November 3, 2007

When politically correct, radical left-lib politicians take it into their minds that their agendas need to be advanced, there’s precious little that ordinary people can do about it. Currently, Elliot Spitzer, the Democrat governor of New York is pursuing a plan to issue drivers’ licenses to illegal aliens, despite over 70% of New Yorkers being opposed to the scheme. What’s so amazing about Spitzer’s intentions is that the state would be in direct contravention of Federal laws and that this could lead to massive voter fraud, as there is also a law in the works that would ban poll workers from demanding proof of citizenship during elections.

The rationale that Spitzer and his supporters are offering is thin, to say the least. Giving illegal aliens driver’s licenses will help take them “out of the shadowsâ€

Worth repeating:

What’s so interesting is that of these seven states, all but two, Hawaii and Utah, have Democrat governors, and all of these states except for Utah have Democrat controlled state senates and legislatures. Likewise for the State of New York, which is practically owned and operated by a powerful Democrat machine, which with the help of the public service unions, runs the state as if the voters didn’t exist.

Currently, there are seven other states (14% of all the states!) that issue driver’s licenses to illegal aliens. These are Hawaii, Maine, Michigan, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah and Washington.

This person did not mention Maryland. Maryland also gives driver's licenses to illegal aliens.

It's all about the votes imo too.

The second issue is equally unnerving in that passing out IDs to illegals could and probably will result in massive election frauds. Given that the Democrats are constantly complaining that election fraud is causing them to lose elections, it’s entirely possible that the motivation in handing out bona fides to undocumented residents is an attempt on their part to level the so-called playing field. In other words, if they sincerely believe that Republicans are cheating during elections, then handing out IDs to foreign nationals might be a way to garner more votes and even the score. Given that the vast majority of Hispanics in the U.S. tend to vote Democrat and given that conservative estimates place the number of illegal Mexicans at somewhere in the neighborhood of 12 million, then the idea that democratic legislatures are enabling illegal immigrants to commit election fraud makes even more sense.
