"Advocates: Illegal immigrant drivers need documentation"

From the Palm Springs Desert Sun's License veto questioned:

Sonia Dinorah Davila and Juana Raya are having a hard time understanding why Gov. Arnold Schwarz-enegger vetoed a bill that would have made undocumented immigrants in the state eligible for driver's licenses.

"It's not fair," said Davila, a legal assistant at Coachella Valley Immigration Service and Assistance Inc. in Palm Springs...

Say what now? Their reporter went to a commercial company that makes its money off immigration matters and got some quotes (all apparently spoken in Spanish) from the workers and clientele? What would you expect them to say, that Arnold was right? If you want to read - yet again - the brain-dead, disingenuous talking points in favor of DLs for IAs, have at it.

That was very one-sided and propagandistic; like reporting on anti-pollution legislation, and quoting only people from the affected industries. Apparently, the idea is that letting the 3rd world float around at will, and allowing their numbers to increase drastically, will be good, because they will not then run away from the scene of car accidents. As if they would bother with the expense of insurance, rather than take their chances of getting caught without it, who are non-English-speaking, functionally illiterate, unskilled types, and about to spend 1/3 of their income on transportation?
