California Driver’s License for Illegal Aliens Watch: “This is the YEAR”?

The Sacramento Bee has Sen. Cedillo says, ‘This is the year’

Legislation to grant California driver’s licenses to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants will be pushed in 2006 for the eighth year in a row – and this time the iron is hot for success, its author contends.

“The dynamics have changed dramatically, and in our favor,” said Sen. Gil Cedillo, D-Los Angeles.

Senator Cedillo must be living in a dream world.

This bill has NO chance to make it past California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s VETO pen.

Cedillo said the new bill will be very similar to Senate Bill 60, vetoed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in October.

But Vince Sollitto, a spokesman for Schwarzenegger, said the governor remains opposed to the license law he vetoed and bases such decisions on public interest, not political considerations.

“Nothing has changed as far as the fundamental issue,” added Assemblyman Rick Keene, R-Chico. “It’s not a matter of, ‘If I keep asking, the 10th time I’ll finally wear you down and get you to relent.’

This bill is DEAD before introduction.
