Clinton Says No to Licenses for Illegals
WASHINGTON
(AP)
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on Wednesday came out against granting driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants, after weeks of pressure in the presidential race to take a position on a now-failed ID plan from her home state governor.
Clinton has faced criticism from candidates in both parties for her noncommittal answers on New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s attempt to allow illegal immigrants in his state to receive driver’s licenses. Spitzer abandoned the effort Wednesday.
“I support Governor Spitzer’s decision today to withdraw his proposal,” Clinton said in a statement.
“As president, I will not support driver’s licenses for undocumented people and will press for comprehensive immigration reform that deals with all of the issues around illegal immigration including border security and
fixing our broken system.”
Clinton stumbled when asked about the issue during a Democratic debate two weeks ago, and her new position comes the day before another debate where opponents are expected to raise the issue again.
Spitzer met with New York lawmakers in Washington on Wednesday, and conceded that there was too much public opposition to his plan. Clinton did not attend the meeting.
Wild Thing’s comment……..
We knew she would do this and the day before the debate tonight. hahahahahaha
Oh Lord give us strength. LOL If a Repub;lican did this baloney on flip flopping they would be hung out to dry.
I was against it before I was for it.
Wait, I am against it, and always have been.
Wait, Bill, they’re picking on me.
Oh, darn!
ClintonSpeak for, “I never said what I said. You can’t prove I said it. Even if you can prove I said it, it’s old news. Let’s move on.”
EYE OR…. that’s ‘Her Thighness’ The Bride of Frankensteeeen! “Damn your eyes!” … “Too late!”
Just like Bill, Hillary has her finger up testing the political winds. Just like Bill she has mastered Orwellian doublespeak. Just like Bill she will probably have sex with young female interns. Just like Bill she will wave her finger at us and deny it. Just like Bill she will tell us it depends on the definition of “is”. Unlike Bill, she will not be charming.
She is such a sack of stinky crap.
Lie, lie, lie–cover up, cover up, cover up.
Blood don’t run uphill, Hitlery.
WT, my suggestion is to drop the ‘ic’ in referring to the Democrat party, because there is nothing Democratic about the Democrat Party.
That said, I keep hearing how smart Hillary is, I think the country is being sold a lemon, anyone as smart as they claim Hillary is, should’nt have had such a hard time handling Russerts question. She should’ve been able to waltz around the license question with ease. She didn’t.
I think she is a half-wit and if elected will have a damage control team to trail along behind her repairing all the damage she creates just being Hillary. Hopefully, the American People will see this before it is too late.
Look at what she said: “As president, I will not support driver’s licenses for undocumented people”.
She didn’t use the true term “illegal alien” but used the term “undocumented people”. You see, that way she can issue them drivers licenses by the fact that once she does, they become documented. They’re still illegal but now their documented by virtue of the drivers license.
Darth, hahahha be careful when you look at it. heh heh
Tom, “Orwellian doublespeak”, your right that is just what she is doing.
Lynn, good one….”Blood don’t run uphill, Hitlery”.
Mark good idea, I will change it for the next time I use it, you are right! Thank you so much.
Bob oh yes it is that “undocumented people” term and I can’t stand it.
