Illegals to get Caliphornia Driver's Licenses
2012-10-01
Young undocumented immigrants will be able to receive California driver's licenses under legislation Gov. Jerry Brown signed on Sunday.
Then they've got an ID to vote. Coincidence?
As many as 350,000 undocumented immigrants in California may be eligible for the Obama administration program, which waives the threat of deportation for two years for those who have no criminal record.
What's that got to do with illegal driver's licenses?
Young people would qualify if they are accepted by a federal program giving work permits to those who came to this country before they were 16 and are now 30 or younger.

A Brown front sman said that by issuing the driver's licenses, the state will merely be adhering to the new federal rules imposed by the White House.

"Gov. Brown believes the federal government should pursue comprehensive immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship," Duran said.
Thereby getting around all that old-fashioned rigamarole and handily subverting the existing immigration laws.
"President Obama has created recognized the unique status of these students, and making them eligible to apply for driver's licenses is an obvious next step."

#17  I want to be an illegal alien so I can vote anywhere I want to, get food stamps and unemployment, free medical services and most importantly not pay taxes.

Not a bad deal, actually. I'm almost tempted to sign up. Do you need papers to prove you're an undocumented immigrant?

#15  Can legally drive + receive Public Assistance + released even iff caught by non-Fed Local,State Police, BUT-T-T WIDOUT HAVING TO IDENTIFY OR REVEAL YOURSELF TO IMMIGRATION AUTHORITIES, NOR FORMALLY APPLY FOR STATUS.

To paraph LENIN = THE AMERIKANS WILL BUY OR SELL US THE ROPE WE WILL HANG THEM WITH".

And once again Virgina, we learn why the separatist Aztlan Movement, etal. is confident of new US Civil War in 2015 or ASAP thereafter.

Aka OWG NAU in 2015 or ASAP thereafter.

But I digress ...

#12  This is the state which gave us Ronald Reagan.

Sad to see it fallen like this....

Reagan warned that freedom only lasts 1 generation, it is up to the next generation to keep it.

#9  Yes, I would say that we've just about lost this state. It's really sad for me because I remember how it used to be. Now it's just really, really sad.

#4   which waives the threat of deportation for two years for those who have no criminal record.

A pedantic nerd would note that being in the country illegally is a criminal act.

#1  Let them vote on succession then join Mexico. Better deal would be to get money from Mexico for the purchase of California to apply to our debt.
Hurry before the earthquake. Now thats what I would call a fire sale.:)
