California residents can now acquire a state ID regardless of immigration status under a law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday.
“We’re a state of refuge – a majority-minority state, where 27 percent of us are immigrants,” Newsom said after signing the legislation. “That’s why I’m proud to announce the signing of today’s bills to further support our immigrant community, which makes our state stronger every single day.”
A law passed in 2013 allows California residents to obtain a driver’s license, but the bill that was signed Friday will allow non-driving residents to acquire a government-issued ID, even if they are not a legal immigrant.
The bill’s sponsors framed ID cards as “passports to economic and societal participation” that allow individuals to access banking services, obtain government benefits, and acquire health care.
About 22% of California’s nearly 11 million immigrants are in the United States illegally, according to the Public Policy Institute of California.
One day after signing the bill, Newsom traveled to Texas, where he targeted Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for bussing and flying migrants to blue cities, and despite California’s 2017 ban on official travel to the Lone Star State.

Basically this is amnesty by any other name. Illegals receive welfare, Medical, food stamps, free schooling through college and now official ID. In SF they can even vote in local school board elections.
I am sure the next move will be to award California citizenship.
BTW there are at least 2 million illegals in California
What kinds of freebies are we taxpayers about to give them?
Thanks to the “Motor Voter” bill from the Clinton days, they probably get registered to vote, too.
How does this not run afoul of Brewer? Could have sworn that the states could not make laws affecting immigration status. Doesn’t this law confer de facto citizenship on illegals?
CA...It’s a mad house!
The BIG earthquake can’t come soon enough.
Nearly Every road entering California north to south no matter how far in the sticks has an agricultural checkstation presumably to make sure people do not accidentally transport fruit flies into the state. All that investment and manpower and resources dedicated to protecting the crops from small flies while doing everything in their power to attract vast hordes of locusts because democrats think they will be able to be king of the locusts even after their numbers swell to unmanageable levels
Newsom just broke Federal Law.
Also, just in time for the midterm elections. I'm sure this has NOTHING to do with that! /s
The only "government benefits" they are entitled to are 3 hots and a cot in the Graybar Hotel, and a one-way ticket back to their home country.
Had the honor of meeting with @staceyabrams recently! She’s the real deal — fighting for criminal justice, affordable healthcare, women's rights, and a democracy that actually represents the people. That's what we need more of. Not bigotry and hatred posing as policy. pic.twitter.com/OxSmQ7kl2C— Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom) July 26, 2018
(By the way, I also met my future VP pick should I run for President in 2024. Just as I have turned California into a third world state I would like to do the same for all of America. I hope I have your vote.)
Since the 50’s they have said that CA would fall off into the ocean because of a huge earthquake. What is taking so long?
So he’s now king of California?
This is a key component of the plot to allow illegals to vote.
A Day of Wrath is inevitable.

Naw, just Lord of the Flies.
If Congress cared about the illegals, they could end it. Very few federal lawmakers shiv-a-git.
“About 22% of California’s nearly 11 million immigrants are in the United States illegally”
More like 50%. When a formerly 100% White, ethnic American town like Whittier ends up being 80% “hispanic” now, that didn’t happen due to the tiny stream of legal Mexican immigrants over the last 40 years.
Or Bell, Bell Gardens, Downey, El Monte, Ontario, San Bernardino, Chino, Wilmington, Huntington Park, Cudahy, Lawndale, Hawthorne, Santa Ana, La Habra..on and on and on.
Newsom is going against the express will of the electorate who voted for Prop 187 in 1994, against Federal law (remember they screamed “Ju cannot make de eemeegration law!” after 187 passed) which he is nullifying, the list is endless. He’s basically seceding from the United States, and essentially merging with Mexico.
That beez the wifey, Jenny Seibel, "Republican" babe.
No brown eyes/brown skin/black hair for Mr. Cool Guy.
Which make California I.D.s useless and should not be honored by the other 49 states. (56 For the Obama supporters out there).
