Ahmadinejad Cameo in Upstate Race
"Under Governor Spitzer's plan, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad could have skipped out on his visa and gotten a New York license."
That's what Republican congressional candidate Richard Wager of upstate New York said in a public statement just now. His goal is to get the freshman Democrat in the area, Kirsten Gillibrand, to comment on Eliot Spitzer's proposal, which may not be so popular in Republican-heavy areas like Gillibrand's district.
I emailed Gillibrand's spokeswoman for a response and got a phone call half a second later. "The congress woman is not for illegal immigrants getting New York State licenses," Gillibrand spokeswoman Rachel McEneny said.
Wager's press release:
WAGER CALLS FOR PROTECTION OF 'PRINCIPLED DMV CLERKS' WHO
REFUSE TO GRANT LICENSES TO PERSONS UNKNOWNSays Clerks Must Not be Forced to Break U.S. Law
Millbrook, NY-Sept. 27... Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) Clerks in New York State who refuse to hand over driver's licenses to people who have entered the U.S. illegally-people who could be coming from anywhere in the world-should not be penalized for their "principled stand on behalf of common sense and American homeland security", said Republican candidate for Congress in New York's 20th District, Richard C. Wager, today.
Mr. Wager further suggested that Governor Spitzer may effectively be forcing the clerks to break federal immigration laws by materially assisting undocumented immigrants.
"These DMV clerks are proud Americans who are refusing to make their nation more vulnerable to terrorist attack," Mr. Wager said. "How can you ask an American to hand over a proven terrorist tool to people they know are not citizens? Under Governor Spitzer's plan, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad could have skipped out on his visa and gotten a New York license. That's not reform; that's insanity."
Mr. Wager points out that a driver's license in the hands of a terrorist is a potent and multi-functional weapon that can allow its bearer to board airplanes, buy guns, rent trucks and safe houses, wire money from overseas, and enter sensitive government and commercial facilities. He also stressed that the 9/11 Commission expressly urged states to adopt tougher, uniform standards for state-issued driver's licenses after al Qaeda used them to plan and execute the 9/11 attacks.
Mr. Wager spoke out on this issue immediately after Mr. Spitzer's
announcement last week that he would reverse New York State policy and begin issuing driver's licenses to people in this country illegally.###

















Wager was quite correct.
any link to the statement itself?
Um, you can actually rent a car, board an airplane, wire money and enter government facilities with a foreign I.D. card or passport... has this guy ever left his cave?
New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer would give Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad a New York driver’s license
By Tony Dolz
September 24, 2007
The state of New York will no longer require proof of citizenship for driver's licenses.
The driver’s licenses for illegal aliens bill was signed into law September 21 in the state capital by a grinning Governor Eliot Spitzer while getting backslapped by employers of illegal aliens, immigration law attorneys, churches that get a cut of government grants to aid mostly illegal aliens and brazen representatives of the increasingly politically aggressive illegal alien community.
The president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is supplying weapons to Al-Qaida, the international terrorist organization, with which to kill Americans in Iraq and Afganistan (NY Times Sept 20th, 2007). You and I would not trust Ahmadinejad loose in the United States with a valid New York driver’s license giving him access to places and information that are dangerous to us, but it does not bother Governor Eliot Spitzer one bit. Ahmadinejad has not gone missing in America yet, he is under constant watch, but did you know that between September 11, 2001 and September 11, 2005 91,000 persons from countries that harbor terrorism have been apprehended at our border with Mexico (According to the Secretary of Homeland Security, Michael Chertoff, it is estimated that for each one caught it is estimated that 4 or 5 are never spotted crossing).
Many of those apprehended had made a long journey starting in the Middle East and proceeding to Spain, then to South American, finally to Mexico and eventually, up to two years later and after paying up to $50,000 to Mexican criminal cartels, into our country through our unprotected borders?
Yes it is true. Border Patrol Agents, T. J. Bonner the President of the Border Patrol Agents, Texas Sheriffs, Congressmen, journalists and analysts have testified before Congress that persons of interest have been captured at our borders by the thousands! T.J. Bonner and several Congressmen (Poe, Norwood, Tancredo and Sensenbrenner among them) have testified that Border Patrol Agents and Supervisors have been prohibited by President Bush, the Secretary of Homeland Security and the former (disgraced) Attorney General Alberto Gonzales from speaking publicly about these captures.
Who would make a circuitous journey taking two years, through three continents, and after all those travel difficulties and costs pay an additional $50,000 to a Mexican criminal cartel to help them violate our borders? Could these persons of interest in paying so much money to get a minimum wage job at a 7-Eleven store in an illegal alien enclave in New York City?
According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of the Inspector General, between 2001-2005 “more than 91,000 aliens from Special Interest Countries or State Sponsors of Terrorism, were apprehended, of which 45,000 were later released” into American society. “This presents a significant risk due to the inability of CBP and ICE to verify the identity, country-of origin, and terrorist or criminal affiliation of many of the aliens being released.” Approximately 85 percent are then expected to abscond, or fail to appear for immigration hearings before the Court.
Imagine, on the eve of the remembrance of the 9/11 terror attack in New York that left over 3000 Americans dead and hundreds of thousands of family and friends grieving, Governor Eliot Spitzer hands a victory to up to a million illegal aliens in New York seeking a legal ID to pass as Americans. Illegal immigrants and terrorists illegally hiding in our country that have been unable to get a valid government issued drivers license are now welcomed by the Governor of New York to get one in the state of New York.
If a terrorist first slipped into our country legally past our Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) on a valid passport and visa and then when their identification expired went into hiding while waiting to get their orders from their handlers they would stand out for their lack of a valid identification, but in New York city, with the blessing of Governor Eliot Spitzer they will not have such worries.
Then there is the small matter of the Real ID Act which was signed into law on May 11, 2005. Regarding the issuance of a state driver’s license the law acts states:
Verification of U.S. Citizenship and Lawful Status
Governor Spitzer holds a law degree from Harvard and was the Attorney General of the state of New York prior to becoming governor. His education and practical experience as Attorney General would suggest that he would understand the meaning and intent of the Real ID Act of 2005. Yet, by issuing New York driver’s licenses to illegal aliens and potential terrorists in hiding, he shows complete and callous disregard for the rule of law and our safety.
If you are a resident of the state of New York and are scratching your head on how you could have elected this political ally of the illegal alien cheap labor lobby, do not feel badly as it is perfectly understandable. Gov. Eliot has kept all his political option open by keeping his mouth shut. But if you elect him to any office in the future, given what you know now, you only have yourself to blame.
Governor Eliot Spitzer REPEATEDLY REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY RESPONSES TO CITIZENS ON ISSUES THROUGH THE 2006 NATIONAL POLITICAL AWARENESS TEST when asked to do so by key national leaders of both major parties including:
According to the 9/11 Commission Report, the 9/11 hijackers obtained 13 driver’s licenses (two of which were duplicates) and 21 USA or state-issued identification cards (usually used for showing residence in the U.S. or a state). What if we are targeted again and some of the terrorists were carrying New York State driver’s licenses? Would an apology from Governor Eliot Spitzer be sufficient then or would he deserve a special place in hell instead?
There are now at least 22 million illegal aliens in our country. The number is grows by the day. Between 4000 and 5000 violated our borders last night while you slept. As many as 1.2 million are added every year. There is not an industry or a service once done by American citizens for a middle class wage that is not now overwhelm with cheap illegal foreign workers and who knows what they are really here for? We cannot believe any of the government's assurances.
There is something you can do to help reverse the perverse callous disregard of our national security by those who profit from the massive invasion of cheap and docile illegal alien labor. The cheap labor profiteers want the borders open to ensure a continuous flow of cheap labor to replace American workers and or depress their wages by an oversupply of workers. Dangerous foreign nationals are squeaking through the same open borders. Demand that those you elect to office from presidential candidates down to the local level take a stand on border security and the enforcement of immigration law. Keep in mind that the more money they are able to amass for their campaigns the more likely they have already sold their souls to the illegal alien worker employers.
As you read this, a group of Senators who are indebted to cheap labor employers are trying for a third time in the last 12 months to grant AMNESTY to illegal aliens. They want Amnesty so that their employers do no lose a single day of cheap labor productivity which would accur if immigration laws were enforced. The first two times late last year and more recently this past May they suffered a disastrous defeat because of the huge number of Americans protesting their actions. But they refuse to give up - because there is too much money on the table. This time they call it the “Dream Act”. Be aware - Senator Durbin's “Dream Act” is the third stubborn attempt to grant Amnesty to illegal aliens by the millions in contradiction to the well documented opposition of the American people. FIGHT THESE SCOUNDRELS, You are not alone. Multiple recent polls show the Senate enjoys only a paltry 11% support from the people. Imagine, only about 1 in 10 Americans respect our Senators to do the right thing. I am a Congressional candidate in the State of California.

Governor Eliot Spitzer is right, and he is a hero!
Those bandit and scoundrel republicans are dividing our society with scare tactics. They are trying to make our country a hatemonger country. We welcome immigrants and their contribution to our society. The Americans who claim not to have jobs and complaining are the lazy scum of our society; we are hard working proud Americans who are not afraid to help the poor and make our society a welcoming society. Governor Eliot Spitzer is a real American whom our forefathers should be proud of. I pray to God he prevails, in which case he already did. For those of you, hateful dirt(s), go join the KKK, live in a trailer somewhere in the South in remote swaps, marry your closest, and do yourself a favor; don’t pollute our welcoming state and our country with your hate speeches. After all is it not a republican who was preying on young boy interns, and the other who took his family value straight to the rest room looking for perverts at least that was told. We are God fearing good and clean Americans, not thieves and perverts. Spitzer is right, let the poor dream as well.
Thank you, may God bless Spitzer and our country; may God give your hateful heart the scent of worship and care. And when I say worship is not worshipping the hateful rep., the overweight and ugly Congressman James Sensenbrenner, whose cholesterol level still out scores his ego and hatred. Why don’t he focus on his health and eating habits rather than scaring Americans with his inflated fear tactics, back room politics and poisons bills; he might as well go and work for groups like the K.K.K. We are a welcoming nation; we feed the poor; we pray to God; we love and respect our family, neighbors and God’s creatures. Why don’t we listen to star citizens such as the priests who devoted their lives for the good of men and God; who are telling us to be kind, why do we follow a no good liar republican politician? It simply beats logic away. Go Spitzer and alike, enough of these lies.
I know that your loyalty is on Fritzer,I never wanted to offend anyone but I just wanna ask how come Eliot Spritzer become a hero? He was involved in prostitution scandal. A right hero should have a positive background, he hasn't right? I'm not judging him because I don't even know if it's true, maybe some would just putting dirt on his name.......
