Isn''t driving a privilege, not a right?
That''s what I''ve been told by the government all my life.
Why should ILLEGAL ALIENS get to have a privilege when they''re here illegally?

If I follow Spitzer''s logic, or lack thereof, shouldn''t we ALL get to choose which laws we follow and which we don''t?
Maybe I should be able to rob the local Quicky Mart.
Maybe I should not have to pay taxes, illegals don''t.

THINK people!

Spitzer is such a LOSER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think the IDIOT
knows he isn''t going to get elected. Though, I bet Spitzer will get rewarded by the Bush Administration
for working so terribly hard trying to push the illegal
driving licenses through. There definately be some cushy
and high paying job for sellout Spitzer. BEWARE OF
THE DEMOCRATS.......VOTE RON PAUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

excoachken,
Just why was this a good plan??

Do you honestly believe that people in this country illegally are just going to walk into a government agency and ''register'' themselves?
If you were in another country illegally, would you do that? I bet not.

And what makes you think they will fork over the money to buy insurance when they aren''t paying anything now?
Insurance companies won''t insure someone they can''t run a driving record on because then they have no way to rate the risk. So then you have to make another law forcing insurance companies to insure illegals whom they can''t rate, so they''ll raise their rates on EVERYONE to cover the risk, and some companies will just pull out of your state.

If an illegal would go through the trouble of getting a drivers license and buy car insurance, then they would have gone throught the trouble of entering our country legally.

Spitzer''s idea was incredibly stupid and naive, OR he had an ulterior motive...

For anybody who really examined the plan, it was a good plan. But when the illiterates started fear mongering about the illegals it never had a chance. Spitzer just outreached his audience, but at least he had the statemanship to admit that the public, albeit misinformed, has spoken and he would follow their wishes. Now, if "W" would only follow the same logic (72% of Americans want the war ended) and bring our troops home!

Hey, was Spitzer that banjo-playing kid on "Deliverance"?
Looks like him all growed up.

"RON PAUL FAVORS..."

RON PAUL SUCKS, AND IM TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT HIM!! TAKE HIM OUT OF HERE, THIS ISNT A POLITICAL CANDIDATE RALLY!!!

Bravo for no licenses for ILLEGALS! What the hel1 are people thinking anyway? drivers licenses for ILLEGALS????
If the state is going to require anything, require proof of INSURANCE, so when one of these illegal morons smashes into my car I can sue the krap out of them and their insurance agent, I don''t give a flying rats *** if they have a LICENSE, a license is worthless, I want to see the INSURANCE CARD with the $250,000 minimum on it.
