“Freindly Fire Zone”

New York Governor Eliot Spitzer is aggressively pushing a plan that would allow illegal immigrants to obtain drivers' licenses. As you might imagine, there has been quite an uproar.

But why?

The Governor, who is sworn to uphold the law, claims that roads will be safer, auto insurance rates will drop, there will be fewer uninsured drivers, and drivers' licenses for illegals will enhance law enforcement efforts.

Sounds like a plan. And its not like al-Qaida operatives will be flocking to the DMV to apply for legitimate identification credentials that would allow them to move freely---and legally--- throughout the country.

Oh, wait. The 9/11 high-jackers actually did do that, allowing them to open bank accounts, rent houses, and, yes, board planes.

Scratch that last one. But 9/11 happened eons ago. Its not like theyre planning to attack again.

Anyone opposed to the license plan is clearly racist, bigoted, pro-law enforcement, and doesn't like burritos, manicured lawns, or fair wages. Illegal invaders are such an integral part of our society that to limit their rights in any way does irreparable harm to these United States of Mexico.

Go Eliot!

One small caveat, Governor. If the brotherhood of Mohammed Atta decides to target the Empire State Building with weapons and explosives bought legally with their state-sanctioned drivers license, or, on the off-chance, they take a one-way joyride in a 767, you may have a few people knocking at your Mansion door.

In such a case, I am sure that if you explain the merits of safer roads and lower auto-insurance rates (even though they won't decrease), all will be well again. Of course, you may encounter some opposition when you invoke the enhance law enforcement line, but thats just a guess.

Why is this man not running for President? Hed definitely be in the 'driver's seat'.

It wouldn't be the first time we had a criminal in the White House.

You see, Spitzer's action is undeniably in violation of federal law. Any attempt to encourage or assist illegal aliens is against the law. Period. Since there is no gray area in this regard, Spitzer is committing a crime.

Where is the President Bush's Justice Department? Why have they not brought the hammer down on this proposal, as well as the other states that already have such a law on the books?

If only we had Alberto Gonzales to rescue us, but he's busy mounting his own legal defense for perjury.

And if a Democrat wins the White House next year, expect more of the same.

How is it that, since a clear majority of Americans oppose these policies (in a recent poll, 72% of New Yorkers are against the Governor's plan), and such action, by its very nature, violates the law, we continue to see programs solely designed to coddle illegal aliens?

Follow the money.

Republicans are in bed with big business, and these fat cats want the cheap labor. Democrats want the votes. There are already a significant number of illegals voting in our elections, and that number will rise as more of them can provide legally-obtained drivers' licenses. Since the majority of these invaders vote Democratic, the D's continue their push for these programs and ignore the destruction of America's sovereignty. What's the point of American citizenship when foreign nationals are participating in, and affecting the outcome of, our elections?

The most blatant example of this treason---and that's exactly what it is--- is that the Spitzer administration reversed a policy that would have prohibited the DMV from handing out motor-voter forms without receiving a Social Security number. So illegal alien and terrorist alike will now be able to obtain a license without a Social Security number, and use that license to vote. All of which is---let's say it again---illegal.

When our highest elected officials are so blinded by arrogance that they show open contempt for the oaths they took, the Republic is in serious jeopardy.

In the midst of the most dangerous time in our nation's history, our "leaders" go out of their way to aid and abet the enemy.

In case you're interested, the Governor's Mansion is in Albany.
