I don't see a vote tally by party. Gut feeling is it was a near party line vote. Democrats are from planet Zilchtwit.

Straight party line--except for Abel Maldonado (r) who joined his fellow liberals and crossed party lines.

Abel doesn't want those strawberry pickers to have to walk to work...

I'd rather not have to walk half-way from Guadalupe to Santa Maria, to work bent over double picking berrys all day, either.

Unfortunately, laws such as this one certainly are not long-term solutions, and in the short term, help perpetuate problems as severe as someone not being able to get to work --- like --- having otherwise innocent, and not-at-fault people get involved in vehicular accidents involving an un-licensed, uninsured motorist (who may well be drunk, since it is a FACT that illegal immigrants males, from Mexico presently account for hugely disproportionate numbers of drunk driving arrests, accidents, and drunk-driving fatalities).

Things like the above, result in OTHER folks "not being able to get to work", (and worse) a LOT more than if the laws were truly "blind", and even-handed, applied equally towards all. I'm not being racist here...

But then again, I'd bet you know all this. As usual, I'm posting for lurkers, more than "to" another freeper. I hope you'll understand...
