Governor to Terrorists: Here is Your ID

Ft. Hamilton Station, NY – "Governor Spitzer took an oath to protect the citizens of New York State when he took office in January. Today's directive to the Department of Motor Vehicles to no longer require applicants to provide Social Security numbers, or proof that they are eligible for Social Security cards, will certainly make it easier for illegal immigrants to obtain valid identification to blend into society," said State Chairman Michael R. Long.

New York City will never forget the effects of September 11, 2001. We were, and continue to be, a target of those who would like nothing better than to destroy our way of life. We have generous hearts and welcome everyone who wants to come to be a part of New York, as long as they come through legal channels.

All across this great Nation, we have seen the problems of sanctuary cities and the aftermath of allowing illegal immigrants the rights of our legal citizens. Police officers' murdered, innocent people killed by drunken drivers, young women abducted, raped and murdered. Enough! To allow illegal immigrants the ability to obtain a New York State drivers license is an invitation to more mayhem and the possibility of more terrorism.

Governor Spitzer promised us, that everything would change on Day One. New Yorkers, by an overwhelming majority, believed that he would.

New Yorkers did not believe that he would endanger our welfare nor did New Yorkers believe that he would abandon his oath of office.

We urge New Yorkers to contact Governor Eliot Spitzer at 518-474-8390 and by mail to Governor Eliot Spitzer, State Capitol, Albany, New York 12224 and tell him that our safety is far more important than illegal immigrants being granted a drivers license.
