Trying to capitalize on the illegal immigration issue, State Republicans today launched an electronic petition drive on the party's Website protesting Gov.Eliot Spitzer's order to grant drivers licenses to the undocumented.
The web page that includes the petition is headlined "Make your voice hear! Help Keep New York safe." The drive calls Spitzer's "unilateral order" to issue such licenses to illegal immigrants a "rash mistake."
"In a 9/11 world we simply cannot take chances with important identification documents," it states.

Why don't we forgive all persons that break the law. Illegal means not Legal is't that against the law.If you make them they would pay into the government and that's more money for your raise.
RE: Can we STOP this Madness of the Drivers Licenses for Illegals which in reality is being used to UP enrollment of the Dems?
Sure we can....
All we must do is look for the Convictions (LOL) of our "Republican & Conservative" State Senate to broker a deal with another unrelated chip that the Spitz crowd would want down the road....
GOP Senate should say....."Hay Spitz, Kill this deal now or we Kill a deal down the road later that you might want...." This also known as politics in Albany...
On the much positive side, At least we see Senator Marty Golden fighting for our side of this issue on the TV networks, he has done a good job......(Good for you Marty keep it up!)
Although I still would like to know why he and other GOP Senators were pushing for another tax increase of a least $2,000 a year on our Outer Borough Drivers called....."Congestive Pricing" (Why??)
Finally, This is the one issue (Driver Licenses) that our bankrupt State GOP can use to drum up support Statewide to enhance their grass roots supporters, ALL of which have LEFT the County GOP Parties during the course of the last four years....
This is the "One shot" the State GOP can use to show the grass roots that they have "Finally" starting to take their heads out of their A**......
Even in doing this.......The GOP are still BIG SPENDERS IN ALBANY WHICH IS BANKRUPTING THE STATE.
(Perhaps another MTA, Bridge & Tunnel, Property or School Tax or going ahead with Congestive Pricing & Thruway Toll Increases is the answer for the GOP to continue spending?)

JIM KELLY.....although I agree withyou on your writing points, I feel it is counterproductive when you address so many issues in one blog. The liberal control of our schools is allowing the blossoming of students with limited attention spans. With all due respect, perhaps it would be better to address one issue per blog.
Once they get driver's licenses, they will be able register to vote as well.
This is Spitzer's real reason for issuing the licenses.
Whatever on the driver's license thing...
but, be factually correct: having a driver's license does not impact on your ability to register and vote. If you are intent on committing fraud, you sure don't need a license to register to vote.
A driver's license is all that is currently required to register to vote in New York. Item 9 on the Voter Registration Form asks for either the last four digits of your SSN OR you DMV (driver's license) number.
It really makes you wonder if Spitzer's crusade to granting license to illegal immigrants doesn't have more to do with increasing the Democratic base by any means necessary? (legal or otherwise)
