[Schwarzenegger] said he is working "very hard" with Sen. Gil Cedillo, D-Los Angeles, to come up with "a great bill" that would allow undocumented immigrants to obtain driver's licenses.
He blasted similar legislation signed last year by former Gov. Gray Davis and persuaded legislators to repeal the law immediately after taking office.
Schwarzenegger has said many times that once security and insurance issues can be resolved to his satisfaction he'd support a new bill, but his comments Tuesday were among his strongest on the prospect to date.
And he said he's not worried about opposition from fellow Republicans, many of whom threatened to ask voters to repeal the Davis-signed law if Schwarzenegger couldn't get the Legislature to do it.
"I'm talking to my Republican friends all the time about it and also to my Democratic friends," he said Tuesday. "We will do it."
