George Gresham, head of Local 1199 SEIU United Healthcare Workers on Governor Spitzer's driver's license scheme:
“Thousands of undocumented immigrants (illegal aliens who are documented, but their documents are fraudulent) live and work throughout New York State. They contribute not only to the rich diversity of our State (break our Federal laws), but play an essential role in our economy as well. Allowing immigrants (illegal aliens) the opportunity to obtain driver licenses in a responsible and secure manner (amnesty) will enable them to earn a living, while improving security and enhancing road safety (I don't believe a word of this schlock) . . . New York’s immigrants (illegal aliens) should not be made to suffer any longer due to the failure of Congress and the President to achieve consensus on this issue.”
