Herr Eliot Spitzer, Governor of New York, thinks its a keen idea to give illegal aliens a drivers license. The plan is to suspend the need for a social security card to get a driver's license. The State Assembly Leader, Jim Tedisco, is suing the Gov since it violates and existing State law. Herr Spitzer is quickly becoming known for his "my way or the highway attitude" and that can set a few folks on edge. Furthermore, on the surface, any one can understand the "we don't want to encourage these darn illegals to come and stay" attitude.

HELLO!!!!!! They are here. They are driving. Its not like Herr Spitzer is proposing to stand at the border and pass out licenses like party favors. Also consider - with how lovely the pictures on the licenses are, one wet-back looks like another and I've heard of one illegal getting a fake license and passing it around to his hermanos. Some households may share a car, well, damn, why not share a driver's license, too. Put it in the visor, kinda like the garage remote. So illegals ARE driving with "licenses", "licenses" that are good enough fakes to fool your average beat cop.

So, to me, here is the real choice - The status quo, where illegals are driving, uninsured and with out a proper license OR give illegals who can produce proper identification a respectable, albeit limited, driver's license. So which is it?
