I hope other states respond by refusing to recognize them as legal ID.

CA Senate Again Approves Drivers License for Illegals 21-15 (goes to the Governor now)

The ones who voted for this, have admitted to a Fed. Crime!! Lock em up.

If someone comes to your house with a duffelbag full of money fresh from a bank robbery and you don't notify authorities, you can be charged as an accessory to the crime. Now here we have illegal aliens crossing into California (across state lines) being provided with legal documents by the state, knowing full well of the recipients' illegal status. What prevents the federal government from sending marshals to Sacramento and removing said legislators in leg irons and orange jumpsuits for accessory to abet illegal immigration and conspiracy to do so in violation of federal law?

Where does the bill say they have to have insurance for when they run into a family and place two or three in a hospital? Replacement costs for their auto and time off from work. Drivers without insurance are accidents looking for a place to happen.

It looks like Cedillo is trying to one-up Arnie by taking away his most recent reason for taking exception to SB-60. Too bad the reason for opposing it isn't the most basic: Illegals are lawbreakers; they have no right to a license.

From the article:

The governor's office has consistently said Schwarzenegger does not want to take any action until the federal government finishes deciding its requirements for state licenses ... Congress gave states the option to create distinct driver's licenses for illegal immigrants under the Real ID Act passed in May.

(snip)

In an attempt to head off Schwarzenegger's concern that California should wait until the federal government details the requirements of the Real ID Act, Cedillo amended his bill last week to incorporate such a delay.

Cedillo is playing Arnold for the weasel that he is.

They do have something in common.

We don't need a new law as immigrants to the US can already obtain an international driver's license before they immigrate.

This new bill is unnecessary.

Would the illegal alien drivers licenses be useful for following the driver until he went 1 mile over the speed limit and then charge him with speeding, bald tires, no light on the license plate, dirty windows, nine passengers in a 3 passenger vehicle, open bottles of tequila and other hight crimes and misdemeanors?

[thoughtomator]

As if he would pay the ticket, or be held in jail once he was found to be illegal.

Easy to trap yourself with your own words when you have only politics but no real principles.

So true. But there seems to be an abundance of teflon in Sacramento.

Waspman, you're just full of good news today!

When are they going to issue them commercial pilot's licenses?

[SierraWasp]

Well... Stuff Happens!!! And some of it really, REALLY STINKS!!!

[street_lawyer]

If an illegal has a valid drivers license in CA then I'm sure CA will accept Mexican Paso's. In fact CA may decide to make the Mexican Paso the official monetary exchange standard for paying Motor Vehicle fines.
