For those of you outside the nut farm:
We get Del Olmo every week, part of about 3/4 of an editorial page describing all the reasons we need to be nice to mexicans in general and illegal mexicans in particular.

Recall will only make it that much more virulent.

"How he handles it could determine whether his administration gets along well with the state's emerging majority."

This definately shows who runs this paper.

Hmmmm "emerging minority" = open border + illegal immigration

Schwarzenegger needs to rethink his opposition to the law and short-circuit any moves for a referendum or initiative to repeal it.

If this goes to the old ballot box and the majority of Californian's vote against giving illegals a license, what could Arnold do to "short-circuit" the results? I would hate to see this turn into another Prop 187 fiasco.

Just some questions:

What chance would the average US citizen have of getting a driver's license in Mexico? Or Canada? Or any other country?

And if the US issues driver's licenses to Mexicans shouldn't the US also issue them to El Salvadorans, Columbians, Canadians, Danes, Chinese, etc.?

Do other countries routinely issue driver's licenses to non-citizens?

Does being a citizen of the US have any meaning at all?

"Emerging majority" equals illegal aliens?

I may be wrong, but I think that if this issue is played right, Republicans can only profit by pointing out the difference between legal hispanic citizens and visitors and illegal aliens. Certainly one way to handle it is to point out that giving driver's licenses to criminals, no questions asked, is a terrible security risk. It opens California and the rest of the country to giving IDs to anyone who sneaks over the border--not just Mexicans, either.

I think the legal hispanic citizens in California can also be persuaded that it does them no good to bankrupt the state paying for illegal aliens who contribute little and have no commitment to the community.

I wonder if it might be possible for people who link to "subscribed" sites might be able to just go ahead and post the whole article?

I know that you can use a false email address and information, but I personally don't want to have to go through the trouble of registering, confirming registration via email, and enabling cookies just to read the rest of an article.

If it's possible, could articles from "cookie required" sites just be posted in their entirety?

Yup, you used to see op-ed pieces that pretended that massive illegal and legal immigration was beneficial. Since that argument is laughable, they fallback on the need for politicians to make nice to get their votes. To prevent civil disturbance is probably just around the corner.

Arnold won in part because he made repealing the illegal drivers' license law a plank in his platform. I could care less what the Los Angeles Times columnist says. They tried to burn him and he hasn't forgotten about it, believe me.

A resounding "BS" to the author is all I can say. Arnold needs to go by the law and protect Americans first and that is all.
