Democrats try to avoid alien license issue
Lou Dobbs
Lou Dobbs Tonight -- CNN -- November 9 Tucker:
James (ph) bill to be introduced next week would amend real I.D.
and prohibit states from issuing drivers' licenses of any kind
to illegal aliens. Another Republican in the House has introduced
a resolution with 51 co-sponsors, three of whom are Democrats,
saying it is bad policy. Rep. Latham: We're very hopeful that on both sides of
the aisle will push leadership to be able to bring this vote
to the floor, bring the resolution up, so that we can have a
good debate if nothing else and see where the chips fall. Tucker: Don't hold your breath. David Wasserman, Cook Political Report: I don't think
that a debate on the floor of the House is going to see the light
of day if Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer and other members of the
Democratic leadership have their way. Tucker: Because, he says, they don't want to alienate
special interest groups that usually favor the party. The hint
that front- runner Senator Clinton took over her non-support
support of Governor Spitzer on the issue has the party leadership
believing in don't ask and certainly don't tell. It's not a view
necessarily shared by the Democratic rank and file. Watch Drugs
