Spitzer Said To Abandon License Plan



Spitzer said to abandon license plan

WASHINGTON (AP)

New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer has decided to abandon his plan to issue driver's licenses to illegal immigrants, officials familiar with the decision told The Associated Press Tuesday night.

The governor is due to meet Wednesday morning with New York's congressional delegation, many of whom have openly opposed the program. Debate over the issue has spilled over into the presidential campaign of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.

The governor's office signaled to New York lawmakers Tuesday that the morning of the meeting, he will say he is shelving the plan and that immigration is a federal issue to be handled by Washington, according to congressional aides who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because no formal announcement had been made.

Clinton has been criticized by her Democratic rivals for her non-committal answers on the subject. She has said she sympathizes with governors like Spitzer forced to confront the issue of immigration after the federal government has failed to pass immigration reforms. She has not taken a position on the actual plan offered by Spitzer.



Wild Thing's comment........

I'm cautiously optimistic over this but it looks like (at least for now) the good guys have won. This is juicy. Spitz abandons the plan that Hillary just said she supports. Hahahaha OOPS Hillary.

I guess now we will hear Hillary say....."she supported it, before she didn’t support it’’.

Hitlery and the dummycraps have more waffles than the IHOP.
It was a stupid idea to begin with.
I suppose they thought they were being kind and creative.
They're trying to stuff us like a Thanksgiving Turkey! And we ain't gonna let 'em, so they're getting all pissed off.
Good. Too bad. Illegals and felons don't have the right to vote.
But the dummycraps had dead people voting and some voters voted at more than one precinct. Now there's corruption for you.

Not to worry WT......If Spitzer's plan was going to negatively affect Hillary's campaign, her henchmen made sure it wouldn't happen. He is lucky to still be alive!!!! LOL

HAH great cartoon pic!
Giving Illegals a drivers license?...ahh hello they are criminals!
Spizter i think has done a good job as DA for NY..he won an award that was excepted in San Diego...but as Gov...I don't like him.

I guess Wolf Blitzer was for-warned not to pull a Russert on po lil' Hillary. Don't beat up the girl.

As far as Spitzer is concerned he just jumped the gun and has now been put in his place and will go along with the program. Until told otherwise by the Clintonistas. Spitzer just wandered off the plantation and bubba had to set him straight. This is why they are called Dummy craps, if it happenes again Elliot's next trip will be to Fort Marci park.

She flashed a photo of Vinny in the Morgue and Spitz understood the body language.

So, the illegals will now be allowed to vote by showing their phony social security cards. The Dems want those votes and will get them now in a quieter, more subdued manner than Spitzer's loudly advertised drivers license issuance.

Spitzer's as dumb as a sack of 10 penny nails but then again, aren't 99% of democrats?
