Thread: WATCH IT LIVE NOW NEW YORK DEBATE LICENSES ILLEGALS

Keep up your excellent reporting GaPeach!

Step back in time to 9/11 - Senator Leibell says

"Our enemies predicted that as time went by that we being a democracy we would get soft."

One responsibilty trumps all others - physical safety, their well being (citizens) health and well being of constituents

Speaking of costs New York has paid, eulogized young Navy lieutenant, this war started on our own shores, not one we have known before, not concerned with Geneva Conventions.

They do not wear uniforms, identification of these people is crucial to win this war. That little document is one of key weapons to wage key combat. You hand huge advantage to those who want to harm our state. Major step backwards and national security nightmare.

On issue of this significance no attempt by Gov. Spitzer to reach out to us.

He is Chairman of Homeland Security Committee. He does not like info from press releases.

None of the information is particularly comforting. He does not like surprises.

Drivers license is known as breeder document - leads to hundreds of other forms of documents. It is not fullproof, but you do not want to go the other way and weaken it.

Let's stop this and step back, let's take a year

Convenience of some, but safety of all

Asked commissioner, what if you are wrong, we are in age of nuclear weapons, what will you say to their families if you survive

Gov. Spitzer, ere on the side of caution, dangerous waters, dangerous for our state and for other states

RACE CARD !


Assemblyman Diaz stated, "There are tens of thousands of (ILLEGAL) immigrants who will now be able to drive trucks, taxicabs, cars, buses and other motor vehicles in order to provide for their families. This change in policy will make it easier for immigrant families to be able to shop and go to doctors’ appointments. The new policy will also make our roads safer because it will decrease the number of unlicensed and uninsured drivers."

Senator Bruno stated 18 of 19 had drivers licenses on 9/11

Senator Farley mentioned mentioned all kinds of reasons too

70 % of people of New York against Governor's idea of giving drivers licenses

This senator is from Puerto Rico. He says 80-90 percent of people said he was not qualified to be in the same place as them. That he could not drink water from fountain as they did. He saw dog drinking from fountain, but he could not drink. He is black and white people, 80 -90 percent say No. He is saying 70% are against this. People did not want blacks in school and many followed majority. He says people follow majority. He says majority told lies and fears put in their minds. He says issuing drivers licenses to aliens and then telling people they may come back and kill you, this is powerful statement.

We have hundreds of thousands of aliens here and I am not sure it is fair to keep them from school, etc., to live a life here

I am not sure it serves the public good to deprive them to do the kinds of things they need to do to live lives here - this statement made by Senator Bruno

They must be giving them permission to work then. So here we have a State that was hit by 911 and now won't get any money for Homeland Security? This is a joke. This guy is selling New York down the tubes for money.

Bill introduced 7388A application for drivers license/ applicant shall furnish identity acceptable with or without visa stamp

legitimacy not conditional on immigrant status, a letter or form from United States Soc. Sec. saying alien does not have soc. sec. number -April 21,2006

New York Times, quoting Senator Bruno

"I am not sure this serves public good to go to school, go to work etc. "
