New Yorkers oppose Spitzer's license plan. Ya think?

"Seventy-two percent of voters in Monday's Siena College poll said they were opposed to "the governor's plan to allow undocumented immigrants to get New York driver's licenses." Twenty-two percent of those polled supported the plan of the once widely popular governor, according to the Siena Research Institute"

Hard to say why New York Governor Eliot Spitzer is pushing ahead with his plan for rewarding illegal immigrants with a drivers license. Is it because he is as stubborn as George W. Bush? Is it his payback to the Latino groups who supported him? Even though I think giving illegal immigrants a drivers license will hurt legal and American Latinos more than any other group in terms of job prospects. Or is it he is really clueless and has not thought the issue through? He just does not seem to realize that rewarding people who have broken the law is not a good policy for any government. Here are some money quotes from Spitzer and his gang on the issue:

"The policy change is critical to ensuring the safety and security of New Yorkers and the governor would never abdicate this foremost obligation simply to appease those peddling fear and hatred," Spitzer spokeswoman Christine Anderson said after the hearing. "

It's not fear and hatred Ms. Anderson It's about stopping stupid government actions like rewarding people who have broken the law with the privilege of a drivers license. I am so sick of idiots like her and the pro illegal groups painting everyone as racist and haters. When all people want is that the people who come into our country and community to obey our laws. Is that to much to ask. Apparently it is when Democrats like Spitzer and company get into office.

"Spitzer blamed the numbers on a "misunderstanding of the facts."
"It's what happens when you govern and make tough decisions and you do things that you believe are right and don't govern based on polls, which is never what I've done."


Or you payback the certain elements in the pro illegal immigrant movement right Governor Spitzer? I mean how else can you justify giving people who have broken the law more privileges. Spitzer seems to forget the Grassley axiom:

"WHEN YOU REWARD ILLEGALITY, YOU GET MORE OF IT!"

Spitzer says he does not believe in polls (hmmm, just like George Bush) how about constituents who contact him directly . Here are his contact numbers and email:

Tel: 518-474-8390

Share your thoughts with him. Since he does not believe in polls. He needs to hear from all of us. What's next? I think this fellow speaks for many of us:

Yes it is edgy by American standards. But, the Latino's would be impressed by his "passion". Maybe that's what is needed to get pols like Spitzer to listen to the people.
