Script of "License" (TV)

ANNOUNCER [v/o]: Nineteen terrorists infiltrate the U.S. Thirteen get driver's licenses. The 9/11 plot depended on easy-to-get licenses.

Obama's plan gives a license to any illegal who wants one.

A license they can use to get government benefits, a mortgage, board a plane, even illegally vote.

WOLF BLITZER [on screen]: Senator Obama -- yes or no?

BARACK OBAMA [on screen]: Yes.
