Fox lobbies Davis to approve immigrant driver license bill

MEXICO CITY Mexican President Vicente Fox spoke by phone to Gov. Gray Davis yesterday, urging him to approve a law that would allow immigrants to apply for driver licenses in the state.
The law, known as the Cedillo bill after its sponsor, Assemblyman Gil Cedillo, would allow an immigrant applying for citizenship or permanent residency to obtain a driver license.
It was approved by the Legislature and put on Davis' desk just after Sept. 11. The Assembly's chief clerk, E. Dotson Wilson, then pulled the bill, saying it was sent to him by mistake.
"President Fox reiterated the importance that the Mexican government and Mexican residents of California attach to the initiative," the president's office said in a statement.
"Given the importance of a driver's license for thousands of Mexicans in California, President Fox and Gov. Davis agreed to work together to find a way for the measure to be implemented as soon as possible," the statement said.
I don't understand this issue. Wouldn't that driver's license be de facto citizenship if it didn't identify the bearer as a citizen of another country? Couldn't they go to another state and get jobs, loans, and housing and no one would know they weren't citizens? Wouldn't it make becoming a citizen less important? Seems like what you could end up with is some corrupt DMV people handing these licenses out to whomever they wanted.
Come to think of it, does a person have to speak and read English to get a US driver's license? If not, why not?
I would hope any illegals that try to get a license are deported...probably not, huh?

This guy is the Duke of Leech. This sponge ought to be trying to suck up to some other corrupt nation. similar to his own. It's a good thing that the American public can't get their hands on this menace.
Every illegal, Mexican or other, needed to be herded up and sent back to Mexico that helped them get into our country.
Well said. Let's get to it.... after we close down all those Mexican invasion stations (consulates) and boot those vile fifth-columnist employees out of here.
And while we're at it, let's get the proverbial can of RAID and spray out these parasites.
Your drum is wearing out.
Why not worry about our corrupt elitist 18th century gubermint?
Given that the illegal invasion in California and much of the country has come from our neighbor to the south, and being the Mexicans are considered "Hispanic", I think that it is only fair to show general graphic displays of the invasion.
For the following pictures, you will need to know what each color represents. Thus, here is the key.
1990
Beige 0.0%-16.6% Hispanic
Yellow 16.7%-33.2% Hispanic
Green-Yellow- 33.4%-53.0% Hispanic
Olive Green- 53.3%-75.2% Hispanic
Forest Green- 75.5%-100.0% Hispanic
2000
Beige 0.0%-18.5% Hispanic
Yellow 18.6%-36.2% Hispanic
Green-Yellow 36.3%-55.6% Hispanic
Olive Green 55.7%-76.4% Hispanic
Forest Green 76.4%-98.4% Hispanic
Check out the size and scope of the invasion as it has manifested itself over the years in the LA area, and compare each LA area from 1990 to 2000.
LA Central 1990
LA Central 2000
LA East 1990
LA East 2000
LA Southeast 1990
LA Southeast 2000
LA North 1990
LA North 2000
LA West/Far West 1990
LA West/Far West 2000
Given that the numbers are slightly differentiating, the contrast between 1990 and 2000 is somewhat weakened. However, despite the number variation, the contrasts can clearly be seen.
That should have read, "the contrast can clearly be seen".
That should have read, "Thus, that means that the invasion has spread, and that it has been huge in numbers".
BTW recall that the 1990 and 2000 had differing definitions of what 'hispanic' included which has lead to a bias toward an overemphasis people identifying as hispanic when they did not in 1990.
You want to work here? Get a work visa for a set period of time, pay taxes on your earnings, then go home at the end of your visa and take your newborns with you. You want a drivers license? Use your own. That's what I do when I travel to a foreign country.
What in the heck is the big problem here?
