Where are state's U.S. senators in license debate?

Conspicuously absent from the debate over New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer's plan to issue driver's licenses to illegal immigrants are both of New York's senators, Charles Schumer and Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Spitzer has argued that because there are so many illegal immigrants living in New York (as many as one million, by some estimates), that providing licenses to them will cut down of the number of unlicensed - and uninsured - motorists on our roadways.

Security would be enhanced, Spitzer says, by having information on more people entered into government databases.
