The Buffalo News: Home: Driver’s licenses for illegals a tough sell for Spitzer, even among fellow Democrats

In defense of his new policy allowing illegal immigrants to obtain New York driver’s licenses, Gov. Eliot L. Spitzer has been relentless in attacking as “hysterical” the rhetoric of Republicans he says are right-wing extremists pushing an anti-immigrant agenda.

The governor has a problem, however.

Many fellow Democrats don’t like his new policy, either.

Instead of opposing the policy and drawing Spitzer’s well-documented wrath or supporting it and possibly alienating voters, many Democrats prefer to duck the issue.

Of the more than one dozen Western New York Democrats serving in state, local or federal legislative posts, most either did not return calls to comment over the past several days or declined to offer an opinion.
