WASHINGTON (AP) – Congressional aides say New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer has decided to abandon his plan to issue driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants.
Officials familiar with the decision tell The Associated Press that Spitzer will meet Wednesday morning with New York’s congressional delegation. Many of them have openly opposed the
program and debate over the issue has spilled over into the presidential campaign of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.
The aides, who spoke on condition of anonymity because no formal announcement has been made, say that after the meeting, Spitzer will say he is shelving the plan and that immigration is a federal issue to be handled by Washington.
Spitzer has given up his plan. I guess he finally realized that capturing the immigrant vote wasn’t going to do much good for his political future if the other 90% of the country hated him.
I can’t wait to see how he tries to backpeddle from this. Maybe now he can get back on his original goal of fixing the most corrupt state legislature in the US. But more than likely that was just empty promises to get him into an office he’s just using for his future political aspirations.
