How happy is Sen. Hillary Clinton that Gov. Spitzer stirred up his licenses-for-illegals firestorm?
Not very, we’d guess.
She’s been talking from both sides of her mouth on the issue since last week’s presidential debate – and her http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=814 appears to be costing her.
A Rasmussen poll showed that Clinton’s support in New Hampshire (the site of the debate) has dropped sharply: She was up by 23 points a month ago, but is now defending a narrowing, 10-point lead over Sen. Barack http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=1303.
This shouldn’t surprise.
A recent Washington Times national poll showed 77 percent of Americans believe illegal aliens shouldn’t be allowed to have driver’s licenses. This is understandable: Illegal immigration is a major concern in America – one Washington steadfastly refuses to deal with. Small wonder, then, that the licenses-for-illegals dispute has become a surrogate for the immigration debate that the nation sorely needs, but that the political class refuses to conduct.
Earlier this year, the discussion was about “guest workers,” “Z visas” and a “path to citizenship” – whatever they are.
By contrast, there’s a real clarity to the licenses-for-illegals question:
“Yes” is a vote for illegal immigration.
