    Ha Ha I told you so !!

The one point nobody ever seems to make in this argument is that it's perfectly legal for anyone to drive in this country on a Mexican drivers license.

If you fly into SFO or LAX from Mexico and go through Customs and Immigration, you can go to any rental car counter at the airport, show them your major credit card and a valid drivers license from any state in Mexico and they will gladly rent you a car, which you can legally drive on any public road in the United States.

Anyone who comes here ILLEGALLY, who has a valid Mexican drivers license can LEGALLY purchase insurance and drive a car here.

This isn't about highway safety and it isn't about insurance. It's about providing cover for people who break our laws. Any politician who votes for SB1160 should be jailed as an accessory to immigration fraud.

Any politician who votes for SB1160 should be jailed as an accessory to immigration fraud.

Leaving SB1160 aside for the moment, most of the politicians in this country should be jailed for aiding (and encouraging) illegal aliens.
