Licenses Debate Gets Predictably Vicious
New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer deserves some credit for trying to do his part to address the perennially unaddressed immigration question, but he was hopelessly naive about his efforts to grant driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. The effort has -- as anyone who's followed the immigration wars could have predicted -- created a firestorm of controversy. And Spitzer was totally unprepared for it, according to USA Today:
"I knew there would be opposition," he says. "I don't think anyone predicted quite this level of venom."
There's a reason why California's Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger ducks this issue like buckshot. He knows that, politically, nothing good can come of it.
