U.S. immigration officials revealed
a new citizenship exam that will be used starting in October 2008.
The new test reduces the number of questions to study to 100 and will place a stronger emphasis
on history and civics.
One sample question asks
what the U.S. flag represents rather than what colors it has.
* Attorneys for ten Hispanic immigrants filed a lawsuit against the city of Danbury, Connecticut over an anti-immigrant operation conducted by police. According to court documents nine of the men were arrested after undercover police posed as contractors and lured workers into a van.
* New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg expressed his opposition to a plan to give driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. Bloomberg said that the controversial plan would clash with federal ID requirements; thus rendering licenses as moot for airline travel or entering federal buildings.
* Pennsylvania Superior Court Justice Correale F. Stevens has raised eyebrows after participating at a news conference calling for stronger anti-immigrant laws. “He definitely crossed the line,” said Robert Nix- chairman of Pennsylvania’s Hispanic Republican Coalition- who added that the report on immigration released during Stevens’ appearance as “political opportunism” and “fear mongering”.
* Lastly, did you know that Mexicans are invading Canada? Sound the alarm! La Reconquista has headed way north of the border! (Video link):

Online Petition Urges Spitzer to Reverse NY Driver's License Policy

I don't know how you concluded that Mayor Bloomberg "opposes" Gov. Spitzer's license. The article you linked says Bloomberg is concerned about the proposal because those licenses could not be used as ID for travel.
El Loco-
I understand your point. Yet Mayor Bloomberg's concerns do show a clear opposition to Spitzer's plan though he assures that it is due to legal reasons, not anti-immigrant sentiment.
That was my point in using the term "opposition/opposes." Bloomberg seems to be against the details of the plan but not the idea of driver's liscenses (sp) for ilegal immigrants, per se.
Governor Eliot Spitzer is right, and he is a hero!
Those bandit and scoundrel republicans are dividing our society with scare tactics. They are trying to make our country hatemonger's country. We welcome immigrants and their contribution to our society. The Americans who claim not to have jobs and complaining are the lazy scum of our society; we are hard working proud Americans who are not afraid to help the poor and make our society a welcoming society. Governor Eliot Spitzer is a real American whom our forefathers should be proud of. I pray to God he prevails, in which case he already did. For those of you, hateful dirt(s), go join the KKK, live in a trailer somewhere in the South in remote swaps, marry your closest, and do yourself a favor; don’t pollute our welcoming state and our country with your hate speeches. After all is it not a republican who was preying on young boy interns, and the other who took his family value straight to the rest room looking for perverts at least that was told. We are God fearing good and clean Americans, not thieves and perverts. Spitzer is right, let the poor dream as well.
Thank you, may God bless Spitzer and our country; may God give your hateful heart the scent of worship and care. And when I say worship is not worshipping the hateful rep., the overweight and ugly Congressman James Sensenbrenner, whose cholesterol level still out scores his ego and hatred. Why don’t he focus on his health and eating habits rather than scaring Americans with his inflated fear tactics, back room politics and poisons bills; he might as well go and work for groups like the K.K.K. We are a welcoming nation; we feed the poor; we pray to God; we love and respect our family, neighbors and God’s creatures. Why don't we listen to star citizens such as the priests who devoted their lives for the good of men and God; who are telling us to be kind, why do we follow a no good liar republican politician?
It simply beats logic away. Go Spitzer and alike, enough of these lies.
No more voting republican for me.
