So you are saying this law will essentially eliminate the requirement for ANYONE including citizens to have a drivers license?

I highly doubt that's the goal of this law, or else why not just do away with the requirement to drive with a valid drivers license in the state of California and no one has to go through the hassle of getting a drivers license.

In other words, why have a law that isn't to be enforced ever for anyone?

Why have a law if the malamute's of the world aren't going to understand it is a better question. This isn't about non-enforcement of the law.

Wait..... are you saying the license laws SHOULD be enforced or only enforced if the cop suspects someone is an American citizen?

Oh sure they do. They have a new name. Undocumented redistribution of property and undocumented sexual partners. Doesn't that sound better than illegal or criminal?

I'm saying that you don't know what this bill would do.

And embezzlers just gave themselves an undocumented raise or bonus in the workplace, tax evaders just have undocumented taxes. Shoplifters are undocumented customers.

Obviously the law will have them profiling but American citizens can fake a foreign accent and claim to be here illegally and so then would not have to have a drivers license when driving. It might not be as easy to fake illegal status if you look and act like an American so I would think to be on the safe side they should just eliminate the requirement to have a drivers license when driving all together.

Or can white Americans just say they are here illegally from Europe, blacks can say they're here illegally from Haiti or somewhere else, and hispanics of course can also pretend to be here illegally if they don't have a drivers license - even if they are citizens.

Or will they be that blatantly anti-American in California to say that Americans are expected to have a drivers license but foreigners here illegally are not?

Again, you are just making **** up. You don't know what this bill would do. Keep in mind that just reading the article once would cover it. Just a single read of the article that this entire thread is about.

Oh I did read it. The one clown in there insists EVERYBODY needs to drive and will drive with or without a license.

So just eliminate the requirement for anyone to have a drivers license and assume that those who need to or want to drive will drive whether or not they are given a license, just like the guy in that article insists.

And why are we spending billions on mass transportation systems since as this guy says, everyone must be allowed to drive?

Oh yeah? Did you read it just now? Because up until this post you seemed to believe that the law only applied to illegal immigrants.
