AGENCIES WOULD BE REQUIRED TO REJECT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
By Crystal Carreon and Tracy Kaplan
Mercury News
A day before the governor is to repeal an unpopular law that would have allowed illegal immigrants to apply for California driver's licenses, state officials Tuesday announced that a grass-roots group could begin petitioning for a measure to ban public benefits -- including driver's licenses -- to those who could not prove their legal status in the country.
Save Our State, the organization that spearheaded Proposition 187, is now floating a new proposal to curtail public benefits to the estimated 2.2 million illegal immigrants in California.
Author Ron Prince seeks to amend the state constitution and require officials to:
• Confirm the legal status of immigrants before providing them with public services.

Whoohoo! Unfortuenetly, this law won't take effect. Too bad that the liberals can get a judge to stop this though just like they did with Prop. 187.

Sounds like the same pragmatism that elected Schwarzenegger.

Thanks, seems like a good move!
