I know what California law was. I live in CA.

I originally responded to your post that what Gov. Jeb Bush wants is different from the "Davis Plan." What passed (SB60) was clearly not what Davis wanted (i.e., his "Plan," if he had one), but he signed it anyway.

It is simply wrong that either governor wanted to give illegal aliens ID identical to the ID the rest of us use, thereby seriously undermining the usefulness of our ID cards and encouraging illegal aliens to stay here. Illegal aliens should not be here; legal aliens can get ID or use their own country's ID; we should not help illegal aliens stay here illegally. (Whether certain security checks are sufficient is a different issue.)

I heard him on Hannity's radio show talking about this. His point was that the Feds weren't doing their part in keeping these people out, so the state should do something about the security problem by registering these people.

Well, the President is his brother! Why doesn't he pick up the phone and add his voice to all the others who are telling the Prez to fix the borders? That excuse was BS, and there are political reasons for it, which apparently trump recognition of the laws of a sovereign and just nation.

I like Jeb a lot, but this was a boneheaded idea.

I agree. Sorry if I misread your question.
