Just in case any Senators in California don't speak English, he issued the Veto message in Spanish, also:

Para los miembros del Senado Estatal:

Estoy devolviendo el proyecto de Ley SB 1162 sin mi firma.

Este tema ha sido sujeto de sinnúmero de intentos legislativos. El año pasado vete una medida similar, la SB 60, ya que actuar sobre este tema es prematuro hasta que las regulaciones federales sean promulgadas para implementar la ley REAL ID. Todavía estamos esperando esas regulaciones.

Dado el potencial del impacto de la ley REAL ID sobre la seguridad publica y la seguridad interna de los californianos, miembros de mi administración están trabajando con el Gobierno Federal para desarrollar esas regulaciones y para garantizar los fondos necesarios para implementar la Ley. Hasta que los puntos completos de las regulaciones federales sean conocidos, es inapropiado adelantarse con una Ley estatal en esta área.

Atentamente,
ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER

[Parley Baer]

This is one of the reasons I votee for Arnold. He is a Rhino but does gives us some of what we want. If Phil was governor he would have voted for it. Again the lessor of two evils.

[goldstategop]

I guess that's pandering to conservatives. That for them and the global warming measures for the liberals.

Just having Arnold veto Illegal Alien Driver's Licenses again and again makes the Recall worth it.

[SquirrelKing]

Well, he can kiss that new stadium in Oaxaca goodbye.

[stephenjohnbanker]

All we ever get anymore, is the "lesser of 2 evils" I for one am sick of it!

[NormsRevenge]

this issue is premature until federal regulations are promulgated to implement the REAL ID Act. We are still awaiting those regulations.

--

The Gub all along has said he wanted "background checks" done`on illegals that get DLs...

Congre$$ choked this year on its way towards enacting a comprehensive immigration reform package that would have included provisions that would have satisfied the gub.

Lucky us, not for having the Gub we have, rather that Congre$$ choked.

[NormsRevenge]

btw , could you provide two additional translations for DiFi and Babs, one in Mandarin and the other Latin. Thanks! :-)

[editor-surveyor]

Diga me No es verdad!

[itsahoot]

SB 60, because action on this issue is premature until federal regulations are promulgated to implement the REAL ID Act. after the electon.

[ElkGroveDan]

Am I the only one worried by this message????

He didn't say that it's idiotic and just plain wrong to give drivers license to illegal aliens. He said it's premature!!!

Do you folks realize what that means? He's going to sign something in the next year or two. Mark my words.

[ThomasThomas]

While printing it in Spanish is a good start many elected officials in California need a monosyllabic copy of the announcement.

[Soul Seeker]

Well, at least he remembered why he was elected. If he hadn't VETO'd this it woud have been a legit betrayal given it was the main issue that got the former tossed. That and the economy.

[ruination]

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?

[Mojave]

"...action on this issue is premature until federal regulations are promulgated to implement the REAL ID Act."

Translation: Arnold will stick it to us later.
