From the article:

Schwarzenegger has been quietly negotiating with Democratic lawmakers to provide a modified driver's license for illegal immigrants that would prominently display their noncitizen status.

He has??? AGAIN?

I think the House just put the hammer down on any "driver's licenses for illegals" yesterday when they passed the appropriations bill for the war...I think there was something in there about a nationwide standard that folks had to prove they were citizens to get a driver's license...haven't had time to read the Bill but it did pass the House yesterday and is expected to pass the Senate.

"Republican lawmakers defended the governor as well. State Sen. Tom McClintock of Thousand Oaks said Schwarzenegger "deserves great credit and gratitude" for demanding that the Legislature overturn the law granting driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, a Republican from Huntington Beach, said having a charismatic figure such as Schwarzenegger demanding more border controls is a welcome change. He said that given the $500-billion federal deficit, Schwarzenegger should not be faulted for failing to get more federal money.

Meanwhile, Rohrabacher said, the governor has been focused on a possible special election to shake up state government.

"Schwarzenegger … has been 100% committed to various economic and political reforms in California," Rohrabacher said. "No one should fault him for not having taken up yet another cause."
