Before Governor Spitzer scratched his plan to let illegal aliens get New York licenses, Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) said, “I broadly support what governors like Eliot Spitzer are trying to do.”
Some might say the campaign ad below by Congressman Tom Tancredo is controversial yet syndicated talk-radio host Mark Levin pegged it correctly last night when he said, “It is a mini documentary of what has already occurred in this country.”
The following is an excerpt from the appendix to the 9/11 Commission’s Staff Monograph on 9/11 and Terrorist Travel:
Mohamed Atta’s revised immigration arrival record (I-94) created on May 2, 2001 at the Miami INS district office. Atta had gone to the office seeking a length of stay equal to the 8-months he received for a colleague — possibly Ziad Jarrah. Tourists were not normally granted a length of stay of more than 6 months. The INS officer in Miami refused to grant 8 months to Jarrah and instead rolled-back Atta’s length of stay to the standard six months, until July 9, 2001 [emphasis added mine].
Later that day, Mohamed Atta used that rolled back visa to obtain a Florida drivers license with an expiration date of September 1, 2007. Click on the image below and see the evidence or click here and read the monograph yourself [pdf reader required].
Yesterday, in Albany’s Times-Union:
Assembly Republican Minority Leader Jim Tedisco, for instance, told WROW-AM in an early morning talk show that he’s still concerned about the roughly 23,000 aliens who since September received licenses without the previously affixed labels showing when their visas expired. That was the first and possibly only substantive change that was enacted after Spitzer in September announced his plan through administrative fiat.
Some think Senator Clinton flip-flopped yesterday yet this old soldier can still spot a poorly executed about-face:
“As president, I will not support driver’s licenses for undocumented people…” — Senator Hillary Clinton
Too late, Senator Clinton; you said what you meant the first time.
