To the Members of the California State Senate:
I am returning Senate Bill 1162 without my signature.
This issue has been the subject of a number of prior legislative attempts. Last year I vetoed a similar measure, SB 60, because action on this issue is premature until federal regulations are promulgated to implement the REAL ID Act. We are still awaiting those regulations.
Given the potential impact of the REAL ID Act on the public safety and homeland security of Californians, members of my administration are working with the federal government to develop those regulations and secure funds necessary to implement the Act. Until the REAL ID Act is implemented and the federal government adopts comprehensive immigration reform, it is inappropriate to move forward with state law in this area.
Sincerely,
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Doesn't he have just another day or two to veto or sign Cedillo's Take-scholarships-from-American-students-and-give-them-to-illegals Act?
As of today:Signed: 590 Vetoed: 69 Pending: 503 Total: 1162 Veto %: 10.5%%
Lesser of two evils = false premise. Arnold = Republican, evil = democrat, based on national party platform. World of difference. You want perfection and everything your heart desires = utopia, nirvana, dream state, impossible, it isn't life, it isn't reality.
A better response might have been "Yes, we give you all Kaleefornia driver's licenses, but we must issue them in Mexicali. Simply go to Mexicali, get the driver's license, then come on back in, if you can.
Translation: Arnold will stick it to us later.
