There's a renewed push to get the Gov.
Arnold Schwarzenegger to pass legislation allowing undocumented
immigrants to receive driver's licenses. Lawmakers have put a new bill
on the table, which is identical to the one that has already been
vetoed by Schwarzenegger. Los Angeles Sen. Gil Cedillo and other Latino
lawmakers say they want Schwarzenegger to sign the new bill. Cedillo,
who authored the bill, says he believes voters will support the issue.
"We believe the political winds have changed in our favor and people
have a clearer understanding of the issue," Cedillo said. The governor
wants immigrant licenses to have a "distinguishing mark" that shows
they may not be reliable identification documents. Critics call that
discrimination. [more]
