Morning Update: Driving Immigration
Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) supports New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s move to drop his proposal to give driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants, her campaign said in a press release (NYT). The statement comes after controversy surrounding her apparent equivocation on the topic at the last Democratic debate. Republican Fred Thompson is running a new ad in Iowa in which he discusses his opposition to amnesty for illegal immigrants:
Iraq Bill: Reps. Duncan Hunter (R-CA), Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), Ron Paul (R-TX) and Tom Tancredo (R-CO) all opposed a House bill with a December 2008 deadline for withdrawal. The bill, which granted $50 billion in additional funding for the war in Iraq, passed yesterday.
