"Governor right to veto driver's license bill"

From an editorial by Assemblyman Dennis Mountjoy printed in the L.A. Times:

Arnold Schwarzenegger did the right thing when he immigrated to America from Austria as a young man - he came here legally. As governor, he did the right thing [recently] when he vetoed the bill that would have given California driver's licenses to immigrants who, unlike the governor, entered this country illegally.

The backers of this legislation say they are concerned only about traffic safety and auto insurance. That's simply not true, and they know it. Their hidden agenda is to blur the distinction between legal immigrants - like Gov. Schwarzenegger and millions of other immigrants who have played by the rules when they came to America - and illegal immigrants, who have broken our laws...
