The Voice of Reason: Don't give illegal immigrants driver's licenses
Nov. 7, 2007New York Governor Eliot Spitzer is pushing to give driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. In a debate last week, presidential candidate Hillary Clinton stumbled when asked about her feelings on the issue. But the American people deserve clarity on this issue because it is the latest chain in a disturbing trend. The security, sovereignty and culture of the United States are being sacrificed on the altars of multiculturalism, cheap labor and outright disregard for the rule of law.Clinton skirts around the issue for political reasons, something she shares with the Washington mainstream. However, her poll numbers have already begun to dip because a majority of Americans are opposed unequivocally to the idea. In a recent Rasmussen Reports poll, 77 percent of American adults oppose giving licenses to illegal immigrants. Even among Democrats, 68 percent are in opposition. This is perhaps the one issue that truly unites people across the political divide, which is all the more reason for the government to act.
