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.
What the heck is "permanent residency" anyway? If someone is going to be here permanently, shouldn't they be citizens? If they can't be citizens, shouldn't there be a date when they go home? Is just another way around the laws?
I ask you, TF, because you seem to have more information about this outrageous stuff than anyone else.
But, please, if anyone knows about this, fill us in.
I'll never forget one recent, hot afternoon standing in line for some DMV transaction when I noticed the rather large group of immigrant's standing in line for Licenses. What made the group stand out was the foreign language chatter eminating and the louder voice of an interpreter trying to quell the hubub. Into this mix arose the English voice of a woman accompanying the interpreter who was having her instructions relayed to the dozen applicants. The gist of the instructions was to find the voter registration form, put down one's name, use a supplied address, and check the box registering one as a "Democrat."
Methinks we have lost the war.
That's right. They just come here to do the work Americans won't do....like this.
(The border should be land mined, really.)
I think we already have a Marshall Plan in place for them here in California. Everything is paid for and provided for them. The costs are socked to us in the form of ever increasing taxes and bond measures.
Mr. Bush is implementing a plan that has been in process since his his daddy said the words " New World Order" and "the thousand points of light" on the evening news. It did sound foreboding at the time, and it has come to pass.
You are correct, except you need to broaden out the players a bit. The dims are just as culpable. The US was ursuped by the aristocracy right under our noses and sold out by the ruling class for promises of increasing power in the one-world government. The entire Senate is a closed aristocracy now, and the House is rapidly becoming one. The betrayal of America has seeped down into the governorships and is rapidly consolidating at the local levels.
This amazes me ---our leaders seem to be very afraid to stand up to this man and his foolish demands. All he has to do is make Mexico more liveable for it's citizens but we don't dare tell him that. I also notice that there are a very few Hispanic countries like Costa Rica that have a middle class ----I don't see Fox sending many Mexicans there ---and that would make more sense because they'd already know the language and culture. It's either because his intentions are to take over an Anglo country or Costa Rica has immigration control.
Isn't it odd that RATs like Davis and his ilk claim that it's the feds job to get rid of these horrid illegals, then turns around and allows cities and banks (both of which are insured by taxpayers in one way or another) to entertain the wishes of foreign meddling creeps like Fox? This is nuts!
Fox asks California gov't to accept consular ID
EFE - 8/25/2002
President Vicente Fox has asked California to accept consular IDs as valid identification for Mexicans living in the state who wish to obtain driver's licenses, officials said here Friday.
The Office of the President issued a press release saying that Fox had insisted upon "the importance (of this measure) to Mexico" in a phone conversation with California Governor Gray Davis.
According to the communique, the two men agreed to work together to find a way to put the measure into effect "as soon as possible."
Official records indicate that 8.3 million Mexicans live in the United States, 3 million of them illegally. The Mexican Foreign Ministry has issued nearly 500,000 consular IDs to Mexicans residing in the United States.
The document is recognized by officials in 14 U.S. states as identification for obtaining driver's licenses, and is accepted by 64 banks for opening accounts.
Blatherskite Fox ought to be called on the carpet by leadership in Washington for meddling in U.S. affairs, and told to fix his own corrupt, failure of a country. Fox knows full well that those sham consular IDs aren't worth the plastic they're laminated in, and he knows full well that a U.S. driver's license is a defacto national ID. All illegals need to be rounded up and deported, especially illegals from hostile nations like Iraq, Pakistan, and Mexico.
I should have commented also on your above statement because it shows how true your words are. No one is willing to save our America. Greed and power are what they strive for.
