Adios.

If there’s one thing more nauseating than Hillary Clinton’s whirling dervish positions on the Eliot Spitzer-crafted, Bush DHS-approved illegal alien driver’s license plan, it’s the hypocritical noise from open-borders zealots trying to exploit the moment.

The “politics of pile-on.”

D’oh!

Reckless driver’s licenses.

Do you know where your drivers’ license numbers, car license numbers, birth dates and addresses are headed?

Deadly consequences of open borders, part 998,999.

Over the weekend, I noted the arrest of illegal alien Mohammed Yusef Mullawala, of Jamaica, N.Y., who enrolled in a Smithfield tractor-trailer training school in order to obtain a commercial driver’s license and permit to haul hazardous materials. He’s the guy who was in a hurry to learn how to steer a tractor-trailer, but not [...]

After the Chicago Tribune reported last week that Miller Brewing provided $30,000 to pro-illegal alien activists for a planning convention, materials and newspaper ads publicizing a protest this weekend, the company defended itself in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Locked in a close race for re-election, Los Angeles Mayor James K. Hahn is talking tough on illegal immigraton:
“People are flooding our borders because the federal government won’t do its job,” the mayor said, his voice rising. “And people are basically being invited here by all the employers who will hire illegal aliens in this [...]

The Real ID Act, which recently passed the House by a 261-to-161 vote, has been portrayed by both supporters and opponents as banning drivers’ licenses for illegal aliens. As the sponsor of the bill, Judiciary Committee Chairman F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr. (R-Wis.), told Human Events, “an applicant for a driver’s license or renewal must prove [...]

Tinseltown is putting pressure on Calif. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to allow illegal aliens to obtain legal driver’s licenses.
Blogger Lonewacko’s reaction is dead-on:

I have long assumed that John Kerry is as much of an open-borders advocate as George W. Bush, if not more so. But yesterday, Kerry struck a different note. He told the Spanish-language television outlet Telemundo that he opposes granting driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants. “I think that driver’s licenses are part of the legality [...]

Joanne Jacobs notes a move by San Francisco officials to put an initiative on the state ballot to let non-citizen parents of public schoolchildren vote in school elections:
