Last year, liberals who dominate the state Legislature passed a bill giving driver's licenses to illegal aliens. This bill was signed into law by then Gov. Gray Davis, who was facing a recall election. The public was outraged. Republican candidates for governor promised to roll back the illegal driver's license bill if one of them were to be elected governor.
In the wake of the recall election, the new governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, made it clear that he intended to live up to his campaign pledge.
Shell-shocked by the recall election results, and a gathering referendum drive to repeal the law, legislative liberals feared additional public outrage over the illegal driver's license issue. They agreed to cooperate with Republican members and roll back the law. However, they pledged to bring the issue up again in the future.
Now the liberals and illegal alien advocates are at it again. The latest illegal alien driver's license bill has been described as a requirement before liberals will vote for a budget, and touted as a "sensible and pragmatic" solution to the problem of illegal immigrants driving without licenses.
Nothing could be further from the truth. It is neither "sensible" nor "pragmatic" to issue driver's licenses to individuals who have broken our nation's laws by illegally entering California. One of the so-called "sensible" measures in this legislation is a requirement that an illegal alien applying for a California driver's license admit to being here illegally. One would think that this admission of illegal status would be enough to deport the illegal alien, but instead it rewards him with California's official identification.
One suggested provision prohibits the Department of Motor Vehicles and the Department of Justice from sharing information on these illegal aliens with other law enforcement agencies. We are at war with an enemy who has used our lax identification procedures to murder innocent Americans, but this bill would instead bend over backward to make sure the privacy (and background) of illegal aliens being issued our main identification document is protected.
There is another, more rational way to solve the problem of illegal aliens on our roads and freeways. If a driver is determined by law enforcement to be an illegal alien, the Immigration and Naturalization Service should be immediately contacted and the individual deported. The long-term solution to this problem is to exercise real control over our borders to stop the flow of illegal immigrants. In the meantime, we should not give in to the pressure of granting licenses to those here illegally.
You bet. Last time we personally collected about 200 signatures. I'll be more then happy to do the same. Start beating the drums....
bump
Land of 'fruits and nuts'........
California could do this, but they've apparently decided to hold the budget for ransom (how Mexican).
The federal government requires that every person who registers for a driver's license is to be offered voter registration forms at the DMV (Motor Voter). There is a prohibition against asking for citizenship proof. There is no way to see this as anything exept a quest for extra dem voters. It will dilute legitamate US citizen votes, but who cares if democrats can benefit?
Back away from the car - now let me see your DRIVER'S LICENSE - ping.

The same people who voted for Arnie will vote for him again when he runs for Vice President _______________with Hillary!
The excuse will be that he'll control her, so Republicans MUST vote for him.
You are one of the few who can see thru the fog.
I am just about to say "NO" to the progressive liberal socialist republican party myself .
But I got no where to go in this one party system we got,.......
hmmmmm, leseee
mBush or sKerry
The weenies or the wackos
Because sometimes I just have to know.
Paid staff? That's interesting, and it explains the motivation of many of the idiotic panderers that post here, the ones who fight any reasonable discussion of the mess illegal immigration is bringing to America. With them it is party over principle every time.
Keep posting it!
I'll add to that. For holding restrictionist views on immigration and imports, I've also been called a Communist and a National Socialist. :)
Never give up! If you have to die with your dentures locked in somebody's throat, never give up! Just make sure that that throat is no longer functional. No air down to the lungs, no blood up to the brain.
And no, I'm not being funny.
Just more flaming arrows from the RHINOS and neocons. Another crack in our crumbling sovereignty.
We're not *going* insane here in CA. We've already gone.
The North County Times covers, generally, what's left of the GOP area in northern San Diego County. It includes rural areas and, of course, Camp Pendleton. The city of SD has gone Democrat but the County itself still balances the scale to the right or did through last election. I'm not sure how much longer that'll hold true; it narrows every election.
She is a conservative, like my son and their daugher will be raised with conservative values.
She is equally opposed to the migrant invasion from Mexico and what gets her most about it is how American businessmen are getting rich off of cheap Mexican labor.
