California Gov. Newsom signs bill allowing illegal immigrants to obtain a state ID
NY Post ^ | September 26, 2022 | Paul Best , Fox News

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.

Same with NYS. Motor voter and illegals can get drivers licenses. No doubt they are voting in elections.

...and as a state ID, the records are public.

Turn them over to ICE, photos included.

Do they all take these to H&R Block to have their taxes done for their year of hard work?

No, taxes for non cash, legal occupations are paid by legal citizens who support the nonworking scumbags for their free ride. This applies to urban drug dealers, pimps, prostitutes. carjackers, and stolen property thieves including for catalytic converter metal. Not just illegals from the border crossings.

Just trying to cement more Democratic voters but why bother as California will probably never elect a Republican governor. Probably trying to get rid of any US Rep or Senator in the State.
