No, thanks. The article was far from a blight upon the nation.

Supposedly we're never supposed to mention the races and nationalities of those involved, nor their legal status, nor how the story relates to current events and issues which are in the minds of Californians?

Supposedly to satisfy the prurient interests of the patriotically-correct© readers, the storyline should have read: "Homeless white man, a former busboy who lost his job 15 years ago to an illegal immigrant for less money, a victim of Reagan's immigration and homeless policies, having been betrayed by the 'conservative' leader, George W. Bush, and seeing the nation betrayed to a certain doom, lashed out in frustration and anger at a couple of illegal invading criminals ..."

You either misinterpreted my remarks or were replying to someone else.

The point is this is a crime story. The AP twisted it into a personification of why illegal aliens should get driver's licenses.

If you got a flyer from Gil Cedillo, he'd probably make the same points as the AP story. He'd present a sob story: "If only she'd had a license, she'd still be alive! In order to prevent any other cases like this, we need to pass out driver's licenses at the state line!"

The AP story isn't that bad, but if you read between the lines you'll see that they're advocating DLs for IAs.
