SENATE OKAYS BILL STOPPING DRIVERS’ LICENSES FOR ILLEGALS
Monday, October 22, 2007
The New York State Senate has passed legislation that would stop Governor Spitz
er’s plan to issue drivers licenses to illegal aliens by requiring a social security number or proof of authorized presence in the United States to obtain a New York State drivers' license or non-driver identification card."The public is united that the governor is wrong on his plan to give drivers' licenses to illegal immigrants," said Senator James L. Seward. "It was done in secret without consulting the legislature or the county clerks who have to administer the program, and it sends a terrible message about the rule of law in America. This is about our security, and closing a loophole created by the governor.""I have never seen such strong and united opposition to a proposal by the governor," Senate Majority Leader Joseph L. Bruno said. "Governor Spitzer’s plan to give drivers licenses to illegal aliens has incensed New Yorkers in every part of the State and every political party because they see the threat it would pose to public safety and security.

"Governor Spitzer’s plan to give drivers licenses to illegal aliens has incensed New Yorkers in every part of the State and every political party because they see the threat it would pose to public safety and security. The governor insists on moving forward with this plan, but today the senate will act on legislation to stop it. I urge the assembly to pass this bill to send a clear message to the governor that he should drop this plan."The legislation (S.6484) approved by the senate would require applicants for drivers' licenses or non-driver identification cards to submit social security numbers. When a social security number cannot be provided, the applicant must demonstrate he is ineligible to get a number and provide satisfactory proof that the applicant's presence in the United States is authorized under federal law.
This ain't but one battle in a long war to keep this great Country ours... so I hope all you folks will stand guard and keep an eye on that NY Assembly and the rest of the country to prevent these treasonous acts made in the name of "goodness"!
