-- Tampa Tribune -- April 16, 2004 Good Grief, What's In The Tallahassee Water??? ...Still, there was Jeb Bush the other day defending a proposal to allow illegal immigrants to obtain Florida driver's licenses, noting the plan would include fail-safe/lock box/ironclad protections against potential terrorists slipping through the system. -- Governor? What were you thinking? -- Florida would have "the highest standards for illegal immigrants to be able to get a driver's license,'' Bush insisted... |

Times -- April 13, 2004 License plan for illegals totters A plan backed by Gov. Jeb Bush to allow illegal immigrants to get drivers' licenses in Florida appears dead in the Legislature, as lawmakers face growing opposition from sheriffs and constituents. --- Collier County Sheriff Don Hunter said it was unreliable to allow illegals to acquire Florida drivers' licenses based on ID cards from their countries of origin. [But the Bush administration lets illegals board planes using these worthless documents] |

Collins -- Washington Dispatch -- April 12, 2004 The 9/11 Families' Case Did you hear what the President's younger brother has just strongly endorsed in Florida? Drivers' Licenses for illegal aliens! Florida Governor, Jeb Bush, according to an April 6th Miami Herald story, claims "Rigorous screening standards would ensure recipients ''won't be terrorists." Bush favors issuing state driver's licenses to both illegal immigrants and foreign nationals who make Florida home for part of the year. A Gray Davis clone! |

FAIR Press

-- Orlando Sentinel -- April 11, 2004 Jeb wears heart and campaign on sleeve Gov.

St. Petersburg
Times -- Letters -- April 9, 2004 Don't reward illegal aliens with drivers' licenses Our schools are in trouble financially, senior citizens are being denied medical benefits, the restoration of the Everglades is under siege, and what does our governor do? He supports a bill to grant drivers' licenses to illegal aliens. -- Some in favor of granting illegals licenses argue that they will then be insured. I disagree.

Editorial
-- Tallahassee Democrat -- April 9, 2004 License to drive -- Illegal immigrants shouldn't have them It shouldn't surprise Gov. Jeb Bush that he has rankled Florida law enforcement officers by proposing that illegal immigrants be allowed to get driver's licenses. Sheriffs statewide have denounced the idea, and for good reason. -- Undocumented aliens are undeniably part of Florida's fabric; they live and work here... |

-- Washington Dispatch -- April 9, 2004 When President Bush won't enforce the law and his brother breaks it Tom Brokaw admitted this week for the first time ever on network television that our southern borders are being invaded. In excess of 2,000 illegal aliens pour across the Mexican border daily. --- Illegal aliens overwhelm our health care, schools, language and infrastructure. From California to Florida, an illegal alien invasion disrupts the foundation of America's stability. |

-- The Orator Network -- April
8, 2004 Jeb Bush Declared a 'Fool of the Week' ...It seems Florida Governor Jeb Bush (R) has lost his mind, too. He has thrown support to a bill allowing illegal aliens to obtain a driver's license in the state. -- "We shouldn't allow them to come into the country to begin with," the governor correctly asserted before wrecking it with a stupid question, "but once they're here, what do you do?" -- Answer: You arrest the lawbreakers for coming into this country illegally.

Editorial -- Stuart, Florida --
April 8, 2004 Ambushed: Governor joins brother in pandering to illegals Another Bush, another bad idea on immigration. By endorsing a bill to issue Florida drivers' licenses to illegal aliens, Gov. Jeb Bush is following his brother's faulty logic. And they think Sen. John Kerry is too liberal? -- The governor's rationalization begins with his claim that the drivers' license program will include criminal background checks. Excuse us, but the mere fact that the recipient is here illegally constitutes "criminal" behavior... |

-- Sarasota Herald-Tribune -- [Send a letter to the
editor] -- April 8, 2004 Lyons: We 'stole' part of Mexico - so give invaders licenses ...Any Americans who claim the moral high ground when passing such judgment must not reflect much on the fact that we have this nation only because our recent ancestors took it from the earlier inhabitants by use of genocidal violence. We also moved in and violently stole quite a hunk of it from Mexico. So, can't we do without this insistence that our efforts to hoard the riches here are based entirely on moral principle?... |
