I guess a vote for Arnie will have been a vote for Busty , in that case. How ironic. ;-)

The great congressman from Colorado Tom Tranchero (?) proposed a law saying that drivers licenses from states that allow illegals to obtain one would not be valid for airport screening.

Most all the elite politicos in this country are bent on legalizing illegal aliens, and undermining our borders and sovereignty. This is just part of the plan. Incrementally, one step at a time.

That's why it also needs to be a different color.

Maybe design such licenses in a portrait format to make the difference undeniable.

If caught signing up to vote or doing so, start with two mandatory years in prison.

I get a kick out of the background check part. By definition, any complete background check is going to have to go to another country, unless the illegal has lived here for a looonnng time. I've been involved in this - some of these third and almost third world countries practically laugh in the investigators' faces when they try to get information. Or just "never get around to it."

I agree, there would be nothing legal or identifying about the ID except for driving.
It should be a different color, require a bond to be posted and theirs should be portrait instead of our landscape format.

On a local talk radio show there was a comment that a thorough background check costs several hundred dollars not $140 extra as in this bill.

It is not now, nor has it ever been, a requirement to have or have had, ownership of a vehicle to obtain a drivers license.

Straw man argument.
Next?

The Democrats stick a thumb in the eye of 70% of Californians. They don't get it - Arnold signs this into law, he's toast in 2006. In the meantime, we'll take this to a referendum if they really push ahead with this handout to illegal aliens.

If these loons pull this off....
"NOT A US CITIZEN" need to be stamped across the front in big bold letters along with..."NOT ALLOWED TO VOTE"

A lot of places are so lax that all they require for a voter is the DL. And don't think for a minute that dems don't have that in mind.

Why are folks shocked. Arnie is a RINO.

He is gonna "reluctantly" campaign for the GOP.

California had a real chance to fix their problems when the got that idiot Davis outa office...instead they put in a Kennedy.

I had to get an international license to drive in Germany.
I drove legally, with that expensive piece of green paper, for almost two years.I had to take a special drivers training course,pay extra money, etc.
I needed to have my USA drivers license, to identify myself along with the German paper/no photo/license, if stopped and/or to obtain insurance.

Why make life simple for criminal aliens?
I don't want illegal aliens, from anywhere, driving on the same streets I drive.
They bump my insurance rates every year.
The non-insured motorist coverage that I would be forced to purchase, if I carried full coverage on my car.
Illegals raise my medical insurance rates every year, also.
In fact, I can't think of a single good thing that illegal aliens have done for this country as a whole, in the last 30 years.
Small numbers of scumbag employers have profiteered from slave laborers, but is that really a good thing?

"This is a reality we must accept."

No we don't.

The license should not be acceptable for any show of proof or for use on any application for government or state use beyond driving.

Allow me...

The license should not be acceptable for any show of proof or for use on any application for government or state use beyond driving issued to an illegal alien.

With motor voter law if this bill becomes law all these illegals can register to vote while getting their license.

You do not need a driver's license or a state ID card to register to vote in California. You can pick up a voter registration form at a variety of venues, fill it out, and mail it in.

There is a space on the form to fill in your license or ID number ...BUT... the following is also on the same form:

CA Driver's License or CA ID Card Number: No person shall be denied the right to register because of his or her failure to furnish a California driver's license or California identification card number. (Optional)

It's staggering to see how many accept giving them licenses if. . . .

Folks, in 1994 sixty percent of us said NOOOOOOOOOOOO! (Gov. Dufus worked out a deal to get our Prop 187 killed)

Last year we said NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! again and replaced Dufus.

Today seventy percent of us say NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! means NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Everything you say is true, but the Democrats figure they can get them to vote for them some way and the President of Mexico considers America an expected revenue source from illegals to be depended on back in his country.

It is a real issue.

Not a real one. If they want an illegal driving alien card, fine.

Call the governor's office and ask them why Arnold wants this bill. They have a funny way of answering direct questions.

"Without confidentiality, this thing will dissuade people from applying," said Francisco Estrada, lobbyist for the Los Angeles-based Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund.

And that's a bad thing?
