Clinton Now Says Licenses for Illegal Immigrants Depends on the State

NEW YORK — Pressed anew on whether she supports granting driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants, Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday it depends on the state. In an interview with a cable news channel, Clinton, a New York senator, reiterated her support for governors who must contend with large populations of undocumented workers in the absence of federal immigration reform. She then was asked whether she thinks it is a “good idea” for governors to allow illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses. “It depends upon what state they’re in. It depends upon what they think the risks are,” Clinton said. “A governor of New York that has a lot of immigrants, many of whom we know are not there legally, has to worry about security. A governor of another state where that’s not a problem doesn’t.”
