CA: Illegals' licenses return to floor (SB 60 - Gil Cedillo's Bill .. and more)

Monterey Herald ^ | 6/27/05 | AP

Now Cedillo is back with a bill that would implement new federal requirements for the licenses and presumably give Schwarzenegger what he wants -- a license with a unique design or color that wouldn't be widely accepted as a valid identification document.

''Our actions are based on a plethora of requests the governor has made,'' Cedillo said. ''He wanted a proposal with marked licenses. We're giving him that. He wanted a proposal that provides licenses for driving purposes only. We're giving him that.... There's no need to continue to play politics with this important issue.''

Schwarzenegger's press secretary, Margita Thompson, said the bill is premature because the Department of Homeland Security hasn't issued regulations spelling out the details of federal requirements.

What a mess. give the illegals a rope and they make ya into a pinata, hang ya from a tree, and whack the heck out of ya.

What's there to debate? They're illegals! They don't have the right to anything but a trip back across the border.

He's known in CA as "One-Bill Gil".

More from the Socialist republic of Calafornia.

And an apt moniker it is. It seems the only thing that ever leaves that buffoons tamale hole.

ditto that.. Only illegals are allowed to break the laws. Giving them a license does not solve the problem. They are still uninsured, can't read the signs, next we'll have to redo all signs to include at the taxpayors cost. Arnold should veto bill.

"....a license with a unique design or color that wouldn't be widely accepted as a valid identification document. "

I wonder if anyone asked the car insurance companies if they would issue a policy based on a document that dosen't say anything about the identification of the holder ?

The resistance movement is alive, well and gaining strength throughout California. We resent politicans favoring illegals over citizens.

[pikachu]

So Illegal Aliens can break the law and get a drivers licnese, what laws do legal citizens get to break without fear?

"....next we'll have to redo all signs to include at the taxpayors cost. "

I wouldn't mind it if they replaced those dumb " No parking during game days" signs - It looks like you have to follow the baseball schedule to keep from breaking the law now ....

Agreed - so now let's end the reciprocacy of California's DL's with those of other states. < /sarcasm >

The problem with Cedillo's plan is that insurance is a necessity that requires a driver be ID'd. If the DL can't be used for any other purpose - even ID, how can an agency reasonably insure a driver? One thing will then lead to another and soon the DL will be the document of choice for all/any activity associated with illegal aliens.

No thanks Cedillo, take your proposal and stuff it. Just allow immigration officials to enforce the law.

But it'll sure make voting easier.

Sarcasm or not, it is a good idea. I don't want a bunch of illegals driving around my state with no insurance, not being able to read or write in english, and more than likely hauling loads of drugs and other illegals

[janetgreen]

Gil's legislation always seems to involve pandering to illegal immigration. He ignores the federal law, just like most of today's politicians. It is absolutely disgusting that they won't represent citizens of this state.

In 2003, according to the Arizona Department of Motor Vehicles, 57,600 cars were stolen in Phoenix. It is now the car-jacking capital of the world. Most were SUV’s and pickup trucks. At a conservative average of $15,000.00 per vehicle, owner losses exceeded $864 million. Insurance companies in the state suffered incredible claims from policyholders. Worse, how would you like to walk out of your home or business to see your car gone? Imagine the hassle, violation of your hard work and disrespect for your well being. Where did those vehicles go? Who stole them? Take a guess. Arizona is the temporary home of 500,000 illegal aliens. They cost Arizona taxpayers over $1 billion annually in services for schools, medical care, welfare anchor babies, loss of tax base and prisons. Illegals use those vehicles for smuggling more people and drugs from around the world into our country. When the vehicles are recovered, they are smashed-up wrecks in the desert. If not found, they have new owners south of the border as thieves drive the cars through the desert and into Mexico as easily as you drive your kids to soccer practice. THAT’s how porous our borders are! by Frosty Wooldridge

I can imagine the illegals have lots more fun with California owned cars.

Cedillo is an agent of the Mexican government and should be deported.

Besides judiciary and drilling, what is more important that aliens?
