What's more, if you look closely at what this does is it makes it possible for non-U.S. citizens with a passport to get a license.

If they are here with a passport, are they really illegal immigrants?

The kind of illegal immigrant that has no legitimate form of I.D. still can't get a license.
Illegal immigrants are still citizens of other nations. They can get foreign passports or, more likely, they already have them. The state of New York will, for the first time, have real documents for every illegal immigrant who wishes to drive. That's more than the state has now.

Spitzer isn't actually changing any policy..
Really? New York State currently allows holders of foreign passports to get NY state driver's licenses?

Yesterday he was on the news saying that he doesn't listen to the polls. The moron forgot that he listened to one poll... an official poll that asked all citizens of New York who they wanted to be governor.
Right. The people of New York chose Spitzer and they will have the opportunity to unseat him in about four years. We'll see if this issue means anything by then.

Spitzer will fail to be able to show the corollary between a license and fewer accidents (because there isn't one).
Perhaps you could back up this claim with evidence that driving tests are unnecessary?
