Coincidence that a Quinnipiac poll released yesterday shows Ohio voters oppose 84 - 11 percent issuing driver's licenses to illegal immigrants?

Chris Dodd brought back the flip-flopper charge:

Later in the day, Dodd spokeswoman Colleen Flanagan offered a further critique of Clinton's position on the licenses. "It's flip-flopping cubed. She was for it before she was against it, before she was for it, before she was against it. It's been weeks now, and she still hasn't offered up a serious, principled answer to the question," she said.

  The state would not refuse to issue licenses to illegal immigrants or illegal "visitors" and would in fact require them to obtain the appropriate licenses to have the privilege of driving legally. The state would neither  be enforcing federal immigration laws nor ignoring them  and the purported rationales of ensuring drivers are properly tested for driving ability, their existence recorded to aid in enforcement of insurance and other state traffic regulations and the individuals having a form of ID  would be accomplished without creating the risk that the licenses would be exploitable to obtain things people not legally in this country are forbidden to obtain.

  That some want illegal immigrants and visitors to have government issued documents which serve to conceal their status is the point. If that is someone's position then he or she should at least be honest enough to admit it and defend THAT position.
