The San Jose Merc has an editorial entitled "Special licenses better than nothing" which supports giving illegal aliens a special version of a California driver's license. That would be, unfortunately, permissible under the Real ID Act.
In addition to generally opposing the Real ID Act, they also complain that the Act would "force California to spend millions of dollars in the next three years creating and storing digital images without being reimbursed for the costs." Hmmm... what are we missing here? Oh yeah, that $10 billion or so California loses as a result of being Mexico's lifeboat. Next to that, the database is peanuts.
They also briefly reference cars being impounded, without informing their readers (at least of the editorial) of Gil Cedillo's latest attempt to subvert our immigration laws.
