California - Gov. Moon Baby approves drivers licenses for illegals

[Nails]

 

There we go, that is mexican crossing

[Mawse]

 First Mexicans will see it as a preliminary step toward establishing a recorded time span in America toward citizenship so many will want it. Second they will be held more accountable for driving infractions especially if the second part of the equation is jail and bond for not having a license is enforced.

got to love the double standard, anyone else with an illegal 'recorded time span in America' gets deported and isn't allowed to re-enter the US (even as a tourist) for 10 years. But for these guys it's a positive thing to count towards their fast-track citizenship.

 meanwhile the hard working, legal, engineer from Shanghai or the research chemist from Denmark who've done everything legally and waited years for their residence visa have to wait another decade while the guys who hang outside home depot get priority processing.

[The Ugly]

you don't get what I'm saying. People use Mexican and illegal immigrant interchangeably

Because it's usually correct. The overwhelming majority are from Mexico, especially in the border states. And I'm not buying the Canadian nonsense; it's a blatant misdirection.

In Florida it's Cubans, Haitians and Dominicans.  In New York it's Puerto Ricans, Dominicans and sometime Russians.

Yes, but the political uproar is coming from western states.

I agree with you. We are getting flooded with illegal immigrant Mexicans while people who want to come he legally can't come in.

Puerto Ricans are US citizens since 1917. An American doesn't need a pass port to go to Puerto Rico and the other way around. Cubans fleeing the dictatorship if they hit our shores are legally allowed to be here.

You would think with $620 billion in debt CA leadership would have better things to do!

Depends...are there a lot of Mexicans who are illegal? Yes, but it's just a blanket term that Gringoes (we Americans) use to refer to a lot of Latinos. Because if you ask some of these "Mexicans", you'll find that many are of Central American origin, meaning not Mexican. Many are cultural similar, but we as Americans just want to assume, and don't want to figure it out, so just lump everyone together.
I've seen it where a person told a person from PR to go back to Mexico. There is a high level of ignorance amongst Americans---English speakers.

Also, this woman, a Canadian came here illegally...Melyssa Ford.

Right.  Puerto Ricans are no more illegal that Tim Duncan or Kelsey Grammer.

And BTW, all u so-called "conservatives" who have been decrying private sector unions for the last 40 years, guess what? Those unions were one of the few well-heeled counters to the big business/international corporations that wanted open borders for the cheap labor. Well, now the unions are gone, and there is virtually no significant organized group to check the wishes of big business, which is why nothing has really ever been done to stop illegal immigration. And big business is profit driven and international in scope. The people who run these corporations could care less if your hometown turns into Tijuana.

I hope your happy w/ your GOP politicians. At least we kicked Saddam's ass. That's meaningful.

good post unionize!

Ok, there's one.

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — A projected $650 million in welfare benefits will be distributed to illegal alien parents in 2013, county officials said Monday.

Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich announced the latest figures from the Department of Public Social Services, which showed more than $376 million in CalWORKs benefits and food stamps combined have been distributed through July to illegal alien parents for their native-born children.

Approximately $54 million in welfare payments are issued each month, consisting of nearly $20 million in CalWORKs and $34 million in food stamp issuances, according to the data.

An estimated 100,000 children of 60,000 undocumented parents receive aid in Los Angeles County, according to Antonovich, who said this year’s projections — up about $1 million from the nearly $53 million in total benefits issued in July 2012 — underscore the economic impact of the nation’s immigration debate.

“When you add the $550 million for public safety and nearly $500 million for healthcare, the total cost for illegal immigrants to county taxpayers exceeds $1.6 billion dollars a year,” Antonovich said in a statement. “These costs do not even include the hundreds of millions of dollars spent annually for education.”

Yep. Welcome to a truly sick fucking world.

[Naggash]

Haha at you fucking losers who keep blathering how they're "hard working and honest"

Who gives a fuckin shit? The majority of people out there are "hard working and honest." It isn't a grand achievement.

Lets just do away with any form of national sovereignty and resource management because a horde of non white people want a better life. 

Ps, look up the amount of hospitals closed down due to illegals who have put a massive strain on the health system as well as the likelihood of them being involved in car collisions whilst driving under the influence.....yeh, allowing millions of undocumented people into a country always works out for the best 

[pinksandgreens]

You have shared a very nice information, thanks for sharing it. I don't even idea about this.

[SOMEPARTS]

Laws are laws, if you get caught you should be punished, not rewarded with amnesty/licensing. Can you imagine them catching someone with steroids and instead of arresting him buying him some weights for home?

This would absolutely be a reward. A reward in that I'm paying insurance premiums and they won't be, and just like ACA my rates will go up due to uninsured claims.

No citizenship = no tax or liability but a license, govt bennies and likely the right to vote.

Wow makes such sense to me...
