THE US HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES HAS PASSED A BILL THAT WOULD STRENGTHEN RESTRICTIONS ON STATE DRIVER'S LICENSES. THE BILL IS ON ITS WAY TO THE U.S. SENATE AND IF IT IS SIGNED INTO LAW, IT WILL OVERRIDE ANY MEASURE PASSED IN CALIFORNIA. SOME GOVERNORS, ALONG WITH OTHER STATE AGENCIES SAY THE BILL IS AN UN-FUNDED MANDATE, THAT WOULD TURN THEM INTO IMMIGRATION OFFICERS. THE BILL WOULD REQUIRE STATES TO VERIFY BACKGROUND INFORMATION, SUCH AS SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS, AND WHETHER A PERSON IS IN THE UNITED STATES LEGALLY. IN ADDITION, THE BILL ALSO ALLOWS JUDGES TO DEPORT SUSPECTED TERRORISTS, SEEKING POLITICAL ASYLUM.
