2003: MSNBC host Joe Scarborough worries California may start issuing driver’s licenses to illegal aliens.

“By giving these criminals the most accepted form of identification in America, the California Democrats buy votes for themselves.”

“This plan seems to me to legitimize illegal immigration once and for all. And it’s dangerous.”

“They’re breaking the law. It’s that simple. If you break the law, you shouldn’t get a driver’s license. You shouldn’t be in our country.”

So in Minnesota the illegals have been able to get a drivers license for awhile now. It seems it would provide ICE with a good database of names and addresses to go after.

Apparently a lot of people have forgotten, that was the reason that Arnold became governor of California.

Gray Davis gave illegals California drivers licenses. California was pissed and recalled Davis and elected Arnold.

“””Gray Davis gave illegals California drivers licenses. California was pissed and recalled Davis and elected Arnold.””””

I’d say they got over their outrage. They now embrace the illegals.

Dems will give anything away to get their vote.

Worries?

Morning Joe and Mourning Ho aren’t giddy about it?

California started giving illegals licenses back in the mid-90’s. Then came the “Motor Voter” law which AUTOMATICALLY REGISTERED EVERYONE TO VOTE when they get a driver license...Without checking citizenship.
