Radical Hispanic Agenda Driving California Legislation

While it is often claimed that hindsight is 20 -20, from the looks of what is going on in California’s legislature, it’s clear that the lessons of September 11 have largely been wasted, having had little effect on the majority party’s acute myopia.
Despite the war on terror and a projected budget deficit possibly as high as $38 billion, Sacramento’s increasingly radicalized Democrat dominated legislature is pressing forward – once again – this time with Senate Bill 60 (and it’s companion, Assembly Bill 118) which will enable the state’s estimated 2 million illegal aliens to obtain driver’s licenses without presenting a valid Social Security number.
Enraging party activists statewide, Davis vetoed similar legislation [which he had earlier promised to sign] in October of 2002, just weeks before his narrow victory in the California governor’s race.
If signed this time around, the most obvious budgetary impact of this legislation will be the loss of a huge amount of revenue (legislative analysis - “...loss of up to $600 million in Federal child support funds...”) for the cash strapped state, but far more dangerous, it creates a seemingly open invitation - for those intent on forging phony identities - to do their document shopping in a terrorist-friendly environment.
Sifting trough the 9 -11 wreckage, one fact looms large – at least 8 of the 19 terrorists obtained their official identification via a loophole in the state of Virginia’s Department of Motor Vehicles code that allowed applicants to receive a driver's license merely upon presentation of minimal paperwork none of which was tied to a unique indentifier such as a Social Security number.
“After September 11, use of fake IDs is no longer just a teenage trick or merely about drunk drivers trying to hide their bad driving records. It is about our national security," Senator Richard Durbin. (D – IL)
The Virginia loophole was recently slammed shut by the Republican led legislature and reluctantly signed into law by Governor Mark Warner (D).
But in California clear thinking is not a pre-requisite for high political office, as a matter of fact it may actually be a hindrance to career advancement.
From outside the state, the move to revisit this subject is totally inexplicable - except when viewed in the light of rapidly changing demographics [California is now about one-third Hispanic - primarily Mexican] and an odious brand of racial politics practiced by former leftist campus radicals such as Senator Gilbert Cedillo (D. 22nd District - Los Angeles) who authored this bill and Lieutenant Governor Cruz Bustamante, one of the bill's primary cheerleaders.
Bustamante incredibly and straightforwardly supports continued illegal immigration - “my district requires it.”
