HAPPENING NOW: CA giving driver’s licenses to illegals
No one saw this coming. No one. Nope.
In a move to “make lives easier,” California has initiated a driver’s license program for immigrants who are in the country illegally. The program went into effect today, and has doubled the number of applications for licenses submitted to the state.
From the AP:
California has begun accepting driver’s license applications from immigrants who are in the country illegally.
Despite near-freezing temperatures, hundreds of immigrants lined up as early as 2 a.m. Friday at a temporary Department of Motor Vehicles office in the city of Stanton to begin the process of obtaining licenses.
The DMV expects 1.4 million people will seek a license in the first three years of a program aimed at boosting road safety and making immigrants’ lives easier.
Some applicants may receive licenses Friday if they previously had one. First-time applicants will receive permits if they pass a written test. They will have to return for a driving test at a later date.
This move reverses previous state policy which required “proof of legal presence” in the state of California before an applicant could successfully obtain a driver’s license. According to the AP report, while illegals will be able to obtain a license to drive, the license will not count as official federal identification. Additionally, applicants are being cautioned to seek legal advice before applying if they are under a pending deportation order or have a criminal record.
Predictably, both sides of the issue are speaking out on the controversial policy:
Immigrant advocates have cheered the licenses as a way to integrate immigrants who must drive to work and shuttle children to school. But critics have questioned state officials’ ability to verify the identity of foreign applicants, citing security concerns.
Law enforcement officials say the program will improve road safety because licensed drivers must be tested and insured. A DMV study of 23 years of crash data found that unlicensed drivers were more likely to cause a fatal collision than licensed drivers.
This debate feels all too familiar, with proponents emphasizing the admittedly profound quality of life and safety improvements, and opponents frantically waving their arms in an attempt to point out the fatal flaw in the plan: how do we know they are who they say they are?!?
This is the argument that must be ignored if the left’s narrative on immigration in the country is to succeed. The practical implications of legitimizing an otherwise illegitimate (administratively, and legally) presence in this country is not insignificant, and it falls in directly with the overall goal of turning a blind eye on illegal immigration. The narrative will only succeed if the vast majority of Americans accept the false premise that the emotional, human element of this battle trumps every other concern—however legitimate—brought up in the debate.
So far, the left appears to be winning this one.

DRAT (Displace, Replace, Abort, and Tax) policy has consequences. The leaders of second and third-world nations are ecstatic to be relieved of their “burden” without resorting to voluntary (e.g. “planned parenthood”) or involuntary (e.g. “one child”) abortion schemes, and to be liberated from reconciling causes that motivate mass emigration. Apparently, this is what a minority, and perhaps a majority, of Americans want. This is what an inordinate number of legal, and certainly illegal, aliens want. Americans are becoming a minority in their own country. First through ideological corruption, then through demographic marginalization.
DRAT? Why not 3S?

2. shovel
3. shut-up
We live in strange times.
“Law enforcement officials say the program will improve road safety because licensed drivers must be tested and insured.”
Yah. Once. Insured for a month. And SOMEBODY will be tested. MAYBE even the low-intensity invader.
Kuhl.
Other states have a right to not recognized these Cali Driver licenses, and the other states have a right to destroy those drivers licenses.
Have you kept up with all the states that are suing Colorado because child-poisoning Mary-jane candy is coming from Colorado into their states?
But what if crappy drivers don’t attempt to get a license? Or if they fail the driving test, they keep on driving? Heck, they have been driving without a license, why change now?
DMVs are not notorious for having a surplus of employees waiting to test future drivers. Any bets that getting a license will be even more difficult for real, actual citizens due to the increased work overload?
What about currency dilution? Now California drivers licenses will no longer be acceptable as Federal identification, needed to enter a Federal building or board a commercial airliner.
Requiring insurance at the time of licensing doesn’t mean license revocation once the insurance lapses.
So there is a bonus feature. With a drivers license given to all and sundry, how can we demand photo id for purposes of voting? A new identification would need to be created.
Does these mean the illegals now have to pay in-state tuition?
>> A DMV study of 23 years of crash data found that unlicensed drivers were more likely to cause a fatal collision than licensed drivers.
Then if we would license everyone, without any restrictions, we would reduce fatalities by removing those dangerous, dangerous unlicensed drivers, right!? Won’t anyone think of the children?
When flying on an aircraft, a man decides to always bring a bomb with him. “The chances of an aircraft having a bomb on it are very small,” he reasons, “and certainly the chances of having two are almost none!”
Guess what they use for voter id in California..go ahead, guess.
Diplomad 2.0 had the scoop back in October here:

Giving valid breeder docs to illegal aliens amounts to high treason.
This literally makes me SICK! But it is no surprise!
What other lawbreakers is California going to help “make life easier” for? After all, it’s clearly discriminatory to provide benefits only for one class of lawbreakers. Other lawbreakers deserve privileges too!
Why doesn’t California pass a law requiring banks to leave their doors and vaults unlocked, to “make life easier” for bank robbers? California already has restrictive gun laws (to “make life easier” for burglars, home invaders, car jackers, etc.), but no doubt if they put their tiny minds to it, California legislators could come up with even more ways to reward criminals for their lawbreaking.
To be fair to California, Utah also has a DADT (Don’t Ask. Don’t Tell) policy governing distribution of driver licenses, social benefits, etc., under threat of redistributive and retributive change to presumptive whistleblowers. Apparently, it’s a “civil” right for illegal aliens to receive the same treatment and benefits as citizens .
This policy was probably initiated following corruption of The Constitution through enactment of an “anchor baby” policy that confers natural born citizenship to human lives not subject to the jurisdiction of The Constitution. The degraded legal status of “The United States of America” created by this ambiguous interpretation of a legal jurisdiction predicted the outcome.
Of course, normalization of premeditated abortion by the native population should not be overlooked, and served to facilitate the degradation of the moral and legal rule of law in this nation. All for dreams of money, sex, ego, and convenience. And a compelling government interest to secure taxable assets (i.e. women) and reduce the problem set (i.e. Americans).
Silly q – isn’t this just an invitation for actual citizens to get new identities? Walk in, claim you don’t have physical proof of identity, but interview with someone and give them false info of some 3rd world country that has no record keeping. Now you’ve got a freshly minted driver’s license you can present to any cop who pulls you over for speeding, and have it completely disconnected from your real identity.
Not to say it wasn’t possible to forge identities in the past, but this almost makes it *systemic*.
And that would be wrong.

All kidding aside, a falsely created ID like that is only going to work for the little ticket stuff, and even then only for a little while. Plus you have to keep up the insurance separately on it, otherwise it’s going to fall flat when the Cops pull you over for that speeding ticket, otherwise they’re going to (or should, anyway) arrest you for driving uninsured and throw you in the pokey anyway.
If it’s anything like Texas (El Paso, anyway) you can get that “Uninsured” ticket once, maybe twice, but if you fail to pay it for any length of time, the NEXT time they pull you over, they have the authority to arrest you on the spot due to an outstanding warrant for failure to pay the prior charge. At that point, the entire farce falls apart (and you likely pick up a “False ID / fugitive from justice” Class A Misdemeanor in the process).
To use it for DRIVING is probably more trouble than it’s worth. Now, to use it for FINANCIAL FRAUD purposes, that’s a much more interesting question….
Create a second ID. Get a SSN. And then enter into a same sex marriage with yourself. File a joint return on your taxes.
I assume the purpose is to suborn vote fraud and benefits fraud.
LAST CHANCE TO STOP OBAMA ILLEGAL ALIEN AMNESTY? NOT JUST THE DEMOCRATS BUT THE REPUBLICAN ESTABLISHMENT ELITES ARE TRICKING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. NOT THE TEA PARTY THOUGH.
PASS IT ON?
NOT EVERY LIBERAL ORIENTED MEDIA WILL NOT LET YOU READ THIS?
KING OBAMA HAS DISMANTLED ALL ENFORCEMENT.
On JANUARY 5, 2015, Congress is back in Session and unless we bombard them with phone calls and whatever means of communication, America will be facing the most serious situation that we can imagine. Your money, your taxes being appropriated to cater to illegal aliens—those already here and with King Obama ignoring immigration laws, millions on the way to satisfy big business, unions, US chamber of Commerce, entertainment, construction and agricultural services. Completely ignoring that America already has its share of poverty and that a estimated 92 million Americans are still seeking work or have part time jobs. Illegal Aliens are being granted California Drivers Licenses; more traffic accidents, More hit and runs and absconding, DUI’s and incessant gridlock, then educational grants and many other programs, originally meant for citizens and residents.
Every American who is sick and frustrated with King Obama, his demented elected officials, the Republican zealots who PANDERING to the 5 to 11 million criminal illegal aliens squatting in the United States, must be ready to jam the phone banks on Capitol Hill. Only President Bush had the guts to sign an order to build the double layer fencing 700 miles from east to West. WE NEED THAT FENCING. Each state is either spending millions or billions of dollars on the illegal alien invaders as deceitful support to their cronies and wealthy friends, unions and all the K Street lobbyists who contribute large sums of money to campaigns, conferences abroad, parties and a undocumented host of monetary gifts and special mortgages for home by bankers and low interest rates for other items.
We, as AMERICAN TAXPAYERS PAY FOR IT ALL.
We pay all the subsidies for illegal alien babies born here (Anchor Babies) and we eventually end up contributing to family members who are initially sponsored by a new citizen, in pensions and retirement.
John Boehner and Barack Obama have gone to new extremes to decree amnesty for millions of illegal aliens due to our August 2014 Against Amnesty campaign that caused John Boehner to flee from plans to pass amnesty legislation to Obama’s desk. Our success stopping Amnesty legislation in 2013 and 2014 is why Obama has been pushed to such extremes currently. Let’s hope and pray our next effort will stop them once again and push them to even further extremes that could awaken the America populace!
John Boehner and Mitch McConnell’s new plan is to pretend to oppose Obama’s illegal suspension of America’s existing immigration and border laws, while covertly protecting Obama’s abuse of power and conspiring to rubber stamp and forgive Obama’s dictatorial actions with amnesty legislation slipped into law later on.
The only chance Americans have at defeating this new amnesty threat legislatively is if John Boehner and or Mitch McConnell are removed from their leadership positions.
Our many allies in Congress are working to achieve this and they are going to need our help first thing Monday morning January 5, 2015!
All allied leaders and organizations are asked to prepare their memberships for the approaching battle by explaining to everyone about the Obama-McConnell-Boehner Amnesty Plot #OMBAP, the need for Boehner and McConnell to lose their leadership positions, and the need for unprecedented and historic high levels of online and phone activism on Monday January 5 and Tuesday January 6, 2015.
THIS IS A CALL TO ARMS SO EVERY US TAXPAYER, DELUSIONAL POLITICAL PARTY MEMBERS, LEGAL RESIDENTS, MEMBERS OF THE AMERICAN FORCES, NUMBERSUSA SUBSCRIBERS WHO BELIEVE IN THE ABSOLUTE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE UNITED STATES, OUR RIGHTS, THE RULE OF AF LAW AND THE US CONSTITUTION AND NOT OBAMAS TREASONABLE LAW SHOULD CONTACT ALL MEMBERS OF THE SENATE AND HOUSE.
