Illegal Immigrant License Ban Falls Short

my personal opinion is that the WH quietly stopped Issa and other high dollar people that promised support from giving to the SaveOurLicence effort.

[kellynla]

Well we certainly didn't get any support from the gubinator or our other spineless representatives!

[NormsRevenge]

It can't get much worse, that's for sure.

We actually have not been hit too bad on this latest set of storms.. filling the reservoirs up nice and steady.

[Nea Wood]

BTW, I'm for illegals getting driver's licenses, as long as they are valid for south bound lanes only.

That would make an excellent tagline!

Why all the silly games?

If the people of California want to run all the illegals out all they have to do is start busting the employers.

President Bush has authorized state and local police to enforce immigration laws (you're welcome) and had the CBP set up an 8 week training program to help them do so.

California needs to start helping itself instead of constantly whining to Washington. They could help themselves when it came to spending $3 Bill on embryo harvesting.

[kellynla]

"Why all the silly games?"
Because we have a president who refuses to enforce the immigration laws.

Let us know when you catch up! LOL

Cool!

Illegal aliens and terrorists can flood into the country thanks to Bush, and they can continue to get driving licenses thanks to Arnold.

Perfect.

THANK YOU REPUBLICANS

"Because we have a president who refuses to enforce the immigration laws."

Enforce them yourselves if you really want to. Start with one town and drive the illegals out of that town if you can get the other residents to agree with you.

And if you can't get you own neighbors to agree with you, your whining to the president will fall on death ears.

good byyyyye

National Security matters are the responsibility of the federal government.

National borders are the responsibility of the federal government.

[bayourod]

"National borders are the responsibility of the federal government"

So is bank robbery and kidnapping. Does your state refuse to get involved?

If you don't think that illegal immigrants are enough of a problem for your local police to bust the employers in your town who hire them, then I don't feel sorry for you.

Or maybe some people would prefer to attack President Bush rather than solve their own problem.

[Cultural Jihad]

And if you can't get you own neighbors to agree with you, your whining to the president will fall on death ears.

The broader point here is that whenever the vast majority of people in a society feel really strongly about any issue, the majority will always prevail. And it appear that the vast majority of Americans are not that concerned about dishwashers and lawn-clippers.

bayourod: "And if you can't get you own neighbors to agree with you, your whining to the president will fall on death ears."

An interesting Freudian slip.

[bayourod]

Thanks for the correction.

Prior to the city council meeting, Lopez spoke for about thirty minutes in Spanish...

Was that Nativo Lopez, by any chance?

[Serenissima Venezia]

"Tom McClintock was the best choice for Governor, and alot of republicans didnt have the Guts to support Him..Including alot of Freepers.."

I was one of those, but I wouldn't call it not having the guts - I was accepting the reality that McClintock couldn't win. I would've voted for him in a heartbeat if he had any chance at all - I thought he was fantastic in the debates and I agreed with his policies much more than Arnold's. Unfortunately, voting for him would've been like voting for Perot in '92, in effect handing the Dems. the election.

President Bush has authorized state and local police to enforce immigration laws (you're welcome) and had the CBP set up an 8 week training program to help them do so.

But will he reimburse California for the cost of dealing with illegal immigration, a Federal responsibility? No way!

NATIVO LOPEZ THREATENS THE ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL

They are not obeying the law and they dare to threaten. Who's the girly man now?

[janetgreen]

or its 'recall time' for Arny!!

I agree, AG. Californians cannot afford any more concessions to illegal aliens, period. Paying 9 billion dollars a year to support illegal aliens is a gunshot in the head to California taxpayers. Outrageous!

As many of us have said in the past, Senor Vincente Fox should be paying these bills, not us.
