He has thrown support to a bill allowing illegal aliens to obtain a driver's license in the state. -- "We shouldn't allow them to come into the country to begin with," the governor correctly asserted before wrecking it with a stupid question, "but once they're here, what do you do?" -- Answer: You arrest the lawbreakers for coming into this country illegally.
