Thread: Many New Yorkers don't like this

Many New Yorkers are opposed to giving driver licenses to illegal immigrants. Especially those that live upstate!

But this state is as liberal as you can get; why do you think Hillary ran here?
She couldn't lose. Every single free loafer and special interest group and the ACLU with people that follow them live down state. Also you have a large farmer community in the north that want cheap labor. Its a win win situation for any democrat that runs just about. Though my area is not liberal it has its farmers.

Oh you have no Idea how many of us would want to split this state in two and leave New York City to fend for itself. Their the main reason our taxes are high because they keep giving out new programs nobody can afford except the rich or the poor who reap the rewards or the illegal immigrants.

Believe me Governor Spitzer is receiving complaints but probably more praise. I'm sure the attorney general has been informed also. They did not make this well known public knowledge; it just came like a rock hitting your head. But I'm sure the ACLU and LaRaza knew.

So many are leaving this state because of the high taxes and the constant benefits we foot for all the social programs. People are fed up!
I really don't know what they will do when all the workers leave their state and their left with the rest. Cause they are driving everyone away. Businesses are leaving because of the taxes. Cities are dying slowly except NY City which we all fund.

Now what did Hillary do for us in reality .......nothing. But talk to the fringe crowd and they will praise her for effort. It would be like well; she was here; *as you hear the helium slowly leaking out of their heads.

Hey skeptic,
My state-Va-sounds just like yours-the entire state pays for northern Va.People are even talking of separating it so northern VA is its own state.

People are leaving New York because of high taxes,I've heard the same about Fla.
With the illegal invasion we will probably see every state raising the taxes so that we can all support them and their quest for "a better life",no one seems to care that it is at the expense of the American taxpayer.
Soon we may need "sanctuary cities/states" where we can flee from the oppression,doubt we'll get them though.

Rawhide!

I hate to say it, but it might be the only way. And it's only fair.

But I have to wonder if it doesn't work the other way around. In Virginia, the NVA area is also the richest area and can well afford all the benefits it gives out ...problem is, they stay right in the area, and don't move out to the rest of the state, perhaps.

Same with New York? I don't know.

I certainly hope those New Yorkers are attempting to stop the plan. Moving away is not the answer.

I hope I'm misunderstanding your comment. Are you saying giving illegal immigrants a drivers licenses is only fair?

A driver's license will only serve to give the illegals a legal identification document to hide behind. With a license will come the broadened opportunity to live openly in society. Not fair, and certainly not prudent!

I moved to Idaho from northern New York state over 20 years ago because I couldn't afford to live there any longer. Most of my family still lives there, although I don't know how they afford it. The people need to stand up against these licenses.
