Key point:

"This is what we are going to talk about, but right now the most important thing is to get this passed (the repeal of SB 60) so we can move to other issues."

Arnold is not in any hurry to revisit the issue. He stopped the disaster, now he is working on solving the budget crisis.

Do you also believe that all undocumented immigrants will be able to get a drivers license if they present insurance, if they have a background check, fingerprints?

Governor: "Absolutely...yes

....let's make the undocumented immigrants happy."

Give me a break. Your spinning (or dishonesty) is Carville-esque.

What about "absolutely...yes" do you not understand?

Hey FairOpinion, let me be among the first to say, I told you so!

ROTFLMAO!

It'll be fun watching you try to spin Arnold the RINO out of this.

Key point:

The key point is the confirmation of what I've been telling you all along...

"It doesn't make sense if the majority of Californians run around and hate the idea of undocumented immigrants having drivers licenses because there is no background check, because it doesn't solve the problem with insurance. Let's do it the right way, let's make every Californian happy and let's make the undocumented immigrants happy."

Contrast with...

Schwarzenegger criticized Davis for signing a bill granting driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants, saying, "We're leaving ourselves wide open to terrorism." And he repeated his support for a guest-worker visa program -- "then they can (get) driver's licenses hooked together with insurance."
Sacramento Bee - September 9th, 2003

Not much of a contrast at all, actually.

Schwarzenegger clearly favors CDLs with background checks for Illegal Aliens.

He completely misunderstands why the majority of Californians are outraged over this issue.

Arnold is not in any hurry to revisit the issue. He stopped the disaster, now he is working on solving the budget crisis.

The petition to overturn SB60 in March is what stopped SB60.

Schwarzenegger has revealed his true feelings about giving CDLs to Illegals. Indeed, they were never concealed. Those of you who thought his opposition was genuine or principled were wrong. If you now say that "Arnold is not in any hurry to revisit the issue," you'll understand our skepticism of that prognostication.

If it is repealed now during the Legislature's special session, Schwarzenegger would be open to discussing the issue again in January once legislators reconvene for the start of their regular session, [Schwarzenegger's communications director, Rob] Stutzman said. He might be open to a compromise that tightens security procedures around obtaining a license, but still allows illegal immigrants to drive.

Schwarzenegger's own communications director appears to belie your wishful thinking.

Arnold is not in any hurry to revisit the issue.

Less than 2 months after you posted this the issue resurfaces. I would hate to see what would happen if Arnold was in a hurry to revisit the issue.
