I've had a couple of Californian friends visiting Sydney over the Christmas break. They're hardcore liberals, but they voted for Schwarzenegger. The wife, because he's too rich to be beholden to special interests. The husband, because he's against issuing driver's licenses to illegals. I just wonder why the President prefers Gray Davis' stance on this, to Arnie's?

Okey-dokey...point me to one source that shows Bush is for driver's licenses for illegals. You can't...there isn't one, the administration has not commented on the matricula, much less the license. First of all, driver's licenses are issued by the state, not the FedGov. The Homeland Security Office, The DoJ and the FBI are against the matricula, which can be used to get a driver's license, Treasury is the only one that approved of it. In fact the GOP are the ones who fighting this, the Dems say that not accepting the card is "anti-Hispanic". And according to a recent report:

The agency [Treasury Dept.] received nearly 24,000 letters and e-mails from the public after announcing in July that it would take a second look at which foreign documents can be used to verify a customer's identity. Almost 83 percent of the public comments favored no change in the rules.

They asked for public comment, they got it...where were all the letters of opposition?
