Bill Richardson is the first guy Obama taps for a high level cabinet position.

Reverand Wright would be a good choice for Secretary of State.

I agree 100%.

 

[GAVol]

Bill Richardson sure rolled the dice and won.

 

[Etownvol]

Didn't he vote to give illegal immigrants drivers licenses? Wikipedia says yes.
Just curious.

He's done it twice now. He was out front on Bill Clinton, as well.

 

[g8terh8ter_eric]

Is Bill Ayers up for Secretary of Defense??

 

[hatvol96]

Reverand Wright would be a good choice for Secretary of State.

He'd be an upgrade over Condy Rice. Then again, so would Daffy Duck or Scooby Doo.

Would you rather they drive legally or illegally?

This question is regarding illegals?:blink:

I know he was involved prominently in that debate. I seem to remember him being in favor of them receiving licenses, but there were a myriad of preconditions.

I can't find the upside to it...whether they drive or not, they're still here illegally....so it seems to be really that he wasn't doing anything to deter them. Of course, that was back in '05, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that maybe he's changed his views on that, though I doubt it.

Like most of the issues related to the subject, the decades of lax enforcement of our immigration laws have left us with no palatable options.

Were any of those preconditions related to actually becoming citizens by legal means?

I think Richardson falls into the "It's not practicable to deport them, so we might as well have a means to keep tabs on them."

Obama=idiot.

 

[TennTradition]

I agree Hat...Richardson needs a spot in this cabinet....and I think that he will get it.

Yeah why even try...:crazy:

For one reason, the construction, hospitality, and food service industries would grind to a halt.

I truly hope by legally you mean requiring a license and insurance. If not then you don't see the problem or haven't paid the premiums required in a state with a large population of them.

Yes, that's what I meant. Because without a license, they can't get insurance... therefore, if they hurt you in an accident you're both screwed.

I smell another handout- socialized car insurance. Won't happen, period.

I don't expect it to happen. It's a concept, but how viable would it be? My guess is not very... the illegals will be too scared to show up to get their licenses.
