Measure 88, which would have provided driver cards to those who can't prove their legal residency, failed in Tuesday's election. Partial returns showed the measure going down with 64 percent against and 36 percent in favor.

Seems like the only state that is consistently out to lunch is California.
There is already a law. We shouldn’t be giving illegals the time of day, just a one way ticket back over the border. I’d be up for breaking both their legs for coming here illegally to discourage a return attempt. That’s a law worth writing.

Not totally. They passed legal marijuana nonsense.
Racists!
This vote against illegals from the liberal, bed-wetting state of Oregon will echo loudly around the country.
Most sane people, even the rats, are sick of this invasion from the south. Crime, dependency, the full load of entitlements, (free medical, schooling etc).
Even without the illegal bean invasion, the state is so bankrupt because of PERS that most people that can are getting off this sinking ship.
