This is the most preposterous move yet by the Department of Homeland Insecurity. Michelle Malkin tells us of the latest bit of insanity .

Homeland Security strikes deal with New York on driver’s licenses

The Bush administration and New York cut a deal Saturday to create a new generation of super-secure driver’s licenses for U.S. citizens, but also allow illegal immigrants to get a version.

New York is the fourth state to reach such an agreement on federally approved secure licenses, after Arizona, Vermont and Washington. The issue is pressing for border states, where new and tighter rules are soon to go into effect for crossings.

snip……Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said he was not happy that New York intended to issue IDs to illegal immigrants. But he said there was nothing he could do to stop it.

“I don’t endorse giving licenses to people who are not here legally, but federal law does allow states to make that choice,” Chertoff said.

Who knew that this same deal was made with 3 other states. How is it that states are allowed to issue driver licenses to illegal aliens but yet are not allowed to enforce immigration laws? This whole thing is just plain stupid. We have entered the “Twilight Zone”.
