Hillary Clinton now supports driver's licenses for illegal aliens

Adam Nagourney of the New York Times offers this:

Hillary Rodham Clinton offered support today for Gov. Eliot Spitzer's effort to award New York driver's licenses to illegal immigrants...

"Senator Clinton supports governors like Governor Spitzer who believe they need such a measure to deal with the crisis caused by this administration's failure to pass comprehensive immigration reform,'" her campaign said.

Mrs. Clinton's aides said her statement was intended to signal that she broadly supported Mr. Spitzer's goal of awarding driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants...

...Mrs. Clinton's advisers said that she had not studied either plan, and was not specifically endorsing either of them...

Apparently, those advisors think that embracing a position that three-quarters or so of Americans oppose is better than being seen as someone who evades questions.

Of course, Nagourney and the other MSM hacks won't now point out that reform would not only not fix the issue, it would make it worse.
