ILLEGAL DRIVER'S LICENSE BILL SS/VS

THE LEGISLATURE NARROWLY APPROVED THE CONTROVERSIAL MEASURE TO ALLOW ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO OBTAIN A DRIVER'S LICENSE. THE BILL WOULD MAKE CALIFORNIA'S ROADS SAFER, ACCORDING TO THE DEMOCRATIC AUTHOR GIL CEDILLO, BUT REPUBLICANS (LIKE SENATOR TOM MCCLINTOCK), SAY THE PROPOSAL DOESN'T GO FAR ENOUGH TO STRENGTHEN NATIONAL SECURITY LAWS, OR PROTECT THE STATE'S CITIZENS FROM IDENTITY THEFT. HE SAID THE NEW LAW (IF ENACTED WITH THE GOVERNOR'S SIGNATURE) IS UNFAIR TO THE MILLIONS OF IMMIGRANTS WHO HAVE OBEYED ALL OUR LAWS.
