The Contra Costa Times comes out against CA Sen. Gil Cedillo's latest attempt to get documents into the hands of people who shouldn't be here in the first place.

From "Reject the license bill":

...AB 60 [They mean SB 60 --LW] is supposedly designed to answer that concern, but it still contains the fundamental flaw of giving government sanction to people who have entered the country illegally.

That flaw is the one that the majority of voters in this state seem to see, even if their elected representatives do not. [Au contraire: those legislators see the same flaw. It's just that some of them don't really represent the people of this state. -- LW]

[...Arnold will probably veto it...]

[...Cedillo says the bill's not about immigration]

That is nonsense, but we must give the senator credit for creativity. The view of Sen. Tom McClintock, R-Thousand Oaks, is much more to the point: The proposal's purpose is "to make a very strong statement that it is the policy of the state to ignore our nation's immigration laws."

We agree with that position and urge the California Assembly to reject SB 60.
