| California, with the nation's largest illegal-immigrant population, will soon be governed by a man who opposes issuing driver's licenses to such aliens but supports granting them in-state tuition rates and favors a broad amnesty. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who won last week's recall election and will be sworn in after the votes are certified, has indicated he will be active on the issues at the state and federal level. "When it comes to foreign workers, to undocumented immigrants, I will make sure that if you're going to work in that direction, it's one of the things that I will be talking about with the federal government," he said in his postelection news conference. Several lawmakers in Congress, including Reps. Jim Kolbe and Jeff Flake, both Arizona Republicans, have urged Mr. Schwarzenegger to use his position to push for a federal legalization program.
