California Senate is Debating Drivers Licenses for Illegal Aliens NOW

[ElkGroveDan]

Check your cable listings for the Cal Channel. Sorry I don't have time to do the live thread.

Its Senate Bill 60 (Cedillo) if you want to call your State Senators.

[hapy]

and these people just dont understand why they have so many problems

I say give CA back to mexico

[.cnI redruM]

I thought they had already passed the measure.

[ElkGroveDan]

that was the Assembly yesterday.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

That this is even being debated is utter insanity.

[ElkGroveDan]

Tom McClintock is the first speaker opposing it.

[smiley]

Here's a silly.....maybe not so silly solution....split California into Northern California and Southern California....equal representation from both states since it's so hugh that a single politician can't possibly become known only if he/she is a celebrity.....

After all...we have North/South Carolina, Dakota......

WHat are the odds against it? Maybe 10:1 that it actually fails?

This will pass on a straight party line vote

http://www.calchannel.com also has a streaming video option over the internet. I checked earlier this morning, and the Senate floor session is accessible via Realplayer.

They are getting pretty nervous. There are 25 Dems, they only need 21 votes, my guess is that the 4 most vulnerable walk out on this vote.

I heard Sen. John Campbell on the radio yesterday, say the bill was ammended yesterday in the Assembley to assure its passage by the Senate. He said it would be on the Governor's desk by afternoon.

I've supported this concept for years. But I would cut the state vertically, having an East and West California. Cut off all of the coastal counties, perhaps through LA, and leave the Central Valley, Orange County, the Inland Empire, and San Diego County in East California.

[Squantos]

No ! Not enough room in the senate for 2 more polidiots.

[OXENinFLA]

To many people trying to access it.

[Weimdog]

I think if you look at Conservative vs Liberal voting patterns, East and West California is a better idea.

[OXENinFLA]

oops my mistake I hit the assembly stream, the Senta wors fine.

If they don't have drivers licenses, how are they supposed to go get their free medical care, free public educations, etc.? The heavily subsidized bus systems are like crowded and stuff.

[My2Cents]

Yes, I just discovered that. That's a rarity. Clearly, huge interest in this issue.
