Another brilliant idea from the same people that brought you John Kerry, Mike Dukakis, and Ted Kennedy...

Proving once again that there is no idea too liberal, too PC, too insanely stupid for Massachusetts, a representative has filed a bill to grant drivers' licenses to illegal immigrants.
Representative Timothy Toomey (D-The People's Democratic Republic of Cambridge -- now there's a shocker) introduced the measure, saying it would "help public safety."
Naturally, there's the sympathetic quote from an illegal alien. This time, it's a 30-year-old construction worker from Ireland. "It's just been unfortunate that after 9/11, we're basically lumped in with people who have come here to destroy the country."
Hey, sorry, Paddy. But here's a thought: if you don't want to be treated like a criminal, maybe you shouldn't BREAK OUR IMMIGRATION LAWS?
The bill looks like it's in trouble -- both the governor, Mitt Romney, and the Attorney General, Tom O'Reilly, oppose it. And they are the highest-elected Republican and Democrat respectively in Massachusetts. But I have faith in my neighbors to the south. They'll find some way, some compromise, some chicanery and get this through.
However, I sincerely look forward to eating my words.
Please, Massachusetts. Prove me wrong for presuming the worst about you just this once?
