WRIGHT OPPOSES PLAN TO EASE DRIVING FOR ILLEGALS

ALBANY - State Senator Jim Wright has voiced his opposition to Gov. Spitzer’s announcement of policy changes which allows the Department of Motor Vehicles to grant driver’s licenses to illegal aliens by eliminating the need for a social security number on applications.

Wright questioned the governor’s unilateral authority in making this decision, given Section 502 of the state Vehicle and Traffic Law specifically requires that a person must provide their social security number when applying for a driver’s license.

“This 1995 law was upheld by the New York State Court of Appeals in June 2007. These changes would also seriously jeopardize the security and reliability that a New York State driver’s license is intended to provide. There are major safety concerns to consider with this new policy and a number of negative consequences,â€

I agree with Sen. Wright. Gov. Spitzer needs his head examined, especially being a state greatly effected by the 9/11 terror attacks and the fact that we are at WAR and ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION EXPOSES US TO A TERRORIST THREAT!!

How do these elected officials sleep at night proposing nonsense like giving possible terrorists licenses????? IT'S ALREADY HAPPENED IN THE PAST!!
