Immigrants Rally For Driver's License Bill
Group Accuses Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger Of Dragging Feet

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Backers of a measure to give California driver's licenses to illegal residents are running out of patience and time.
Immigrant groups turned up the heat on Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger Monday, marching at the state Capitol and accusing the governor of dragging his feet on a promise to support a driver's license bill for non-citizens.
"We do want what everybody who comes to America (wants), like you did, governor," said Sen. Gil Cedillo, D-Los Angeles.
Cedillo was the author of a law that granted illegal immigrants a California driver's license. The law was signed last year by former Gov. Gray Davis, but it was repealed. Now Cedillo says it's time for Schwarzenegger to agree on a replacement bill.
"We have a bill that strengthens national security, strengthens highway and community safety, and promotes citizenship. Now is the time for him to do this, and do so in a nondiscriminatory way," Cedillo said.
"He (Schwarzenegger) wants to try and find a solution to this, but he has very serious concerns about homeland security," said Schwarzenegger spokesman Vince Solitto.
Schwarzenegger is said to be looking at a proposal that would provide ID cards with a mark differing from a regular license, but he's facing strong opposition from members of his own party.
"In my opinion, it's not solvable. I think they shouldn't be here in the first place, and we shouldn't be giving them any form of driver's license," said Senate Republican leader Dick Ackerman.
"They are in this country in violation of federal immigration laws. Federal law requires they be deported. It's that simple," said Sen. Tom McClintock, R-Thousand Oaks.
But supporters of the bill say it's not that simple because California's economy is tied to jobs that are held by illegal residents. Peter Camejo, who is Ralph Nader's running mate on the Independent presidential ticket, says Schwarzenegger should do "the right thing."
"I think Arnold would actually gain politically. Because what I think it would show is, he's thinking independently. And when he makes a deal, he keeps his side of it," Camejo said.
If a deal isn't struck by the end of the month, it will be dead for the year. Cedillo says he's still focusing on getting an agreement with the governor before seeking a vote in the Legislature. But the current session ends on Aug. 31.
It sounds as if TN has figured it out. Illegals don't have rights, legal citizens do. With the certificate though, they are being appeased, but being limited. There's got to be a catch though...there usually is when something sounds too good to be true.
The lady pictured on that card was fillin out her application and came to the question: "Sex... M or F?"
She proceeded to answer as follows: "F! I haven't M'ed in years!!!"
What part of NO don't you and your outlaw follow understand... dipstalk!!!
Why don'tcha do right... get outa here and get back at the end of the line and earn your danged citizenship LEGALLY like EVERYBODY ELSE!!! NO EXCEPTIONS!!!
outlaw follow = outlaw following
>>I hate Boxer, I wish we could get rid of her.
YEEEEEE HAAAAAA... Something we AGREE on! :-)
"In my opinion, it's not solvable.

See Dick and Tom hit the nail on the head!
Hang tough Arnold. These CRIMINAL aliens need to be gone.
ROFL!!! :-)
(After pondering for 10 minutes)
Oh, lesbian joke! I've got to get out more.
You still haven't got it!!! It ain't no lesbo joke!!! Ha Ha Ha...
Amen to that! Arnie is not on the side of conservative; he is a phony Rino and a socialist/marxist at his core. who was it that posted that he had a statue of Lenin in his office? Even a superficial study of Arnie's positions and backers reveal his true colors.. FairOpinion, nobody here is buying the bull you're trying to sell.
He called anyone who's against cloning a religious nut; he said only 'right wing whackos' are for prop 54; Marc Leno thanked arnie publicly for his support of the homo-union bill. All the bonds did was paper over debt and uselessly burdened generations to come with bilions in interest payments to his new york banker buddies.; the bonds were in NO WAY 'necessary'. he's for gun control, he's said it numerous times; he believes illegal invaders should stay here and be provided with a socialist utopia of benefits. his most recent scheme is to let papa govt steal 75% of punitive awards from plantiffs for the collectivist 'common good'. seriously, man- who are you trying to fool here? give me a break w/ this stuff.
you sound like one of his PR mouthpeices. do you work for him, seriously.(?)
He is going to sign this license bill. let's just get it over with. the only thing that would stop him is if they already have decided on a plan to come up w/ a national id card; which Bush/Kerry will introduce when they sign FTAA in January.
It's been mentioned by quite a few people.
Variety, May 5, 2003 v390 i12 pS32(7)
Schwarzenegger’s sprawling office within his company, Oak Prods., contains busts of Lenin, Reagan and John E Kennedy (whom Schwarzenegger admired, he says, even before marrying Maria Shriver, JFK’s niece). A group of bodybuilders from St. Petersburg brought the 3-foot Lenin head into the U.S. after the Soviet Union dissolved and presented it to Schwarzenegger. The next year, they wanted to top themselves.
“When they unveiled (a bust of) Stalin, I said no. I had to explain to them why,” he says. “Lenin was not as evil. He was just in the right place at the right time. But Stalin was evil. He was a dictator beyond belief. There were questions of who was more evil, Hitler or him.”
For the record, there are no plans for a Saddam Hussein statue in the Oak offices. “Saddam didn’t start anything great,” he says. “But Lenin started communism and the whole Karl Marx thing. He started something that lasted 70-something years.”
Thanks for the bump!
oh my gosh.,. that is PRICELESS!!! all this time i've been referring to him as a Marxist in ideology,.. and i never even KNEW about this- but i know a rat when i see a trap, cheese and droppings. good grief!
Priceless? I find it frightening :-(
people need to know more about the ideology of candidates. they need to comprehend their world view. They need to read and research. but instead, they just listen to 'fancy rhetoric' and celebrity propaganda fed to them by the compliant press.
They need to research the issues and support men of principle.... oh that's right .. those men 'can't win'! ;-D
don't you see, cal.. the people of CA DESERVE this. i for one am glad to be vindicated. It's going to be very rewarding to say 'told ya so',. these brain dead lobotamized mesmerized MORONS. UGGGgh! ----------------------------------

Schwarzenegger turns into 'girlie man' on new Prop. 187
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said Tuesday that he is unlikely to support a push by some fellow Republicans to bar the Legislature from granting driver's licenses to undocumented workers in California and to cut off their access to government subsidies for housing, food and higher education. -- "We should find ways to work together rather than to find ways of going the other way," he said

A sit-down with the governor (CA gov. Arnold amends his positions on illegals' services)
"Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said Tuesday that he is unlikely to support a push by some fellow Republicans to bar the Legislature from granting driver's licenses to undocumented workers in California and to cut off their access to government subsidies for housing, food and higher education. "
The whole drivers license is a sham by the activists --- California accepts the Mexican drivers licenses. Let them continue to show their Mexican drivers license when pulled over --- Texas does the same.
