Calif. Votes to Repeal Immigrant Driver's License Bill
The California Assembly has joined its Senate counterpart in voting to repeal the immigrant driver's license bill. No surprise, as Gov. Arnold made this a cornerstone of his campaign.
The law, which would have taken effect next month, would have allowed an estimated 2 million illegal immigrants to submit federally issued taxpayer identification numbers instead of Social Security numbers to apply for a license.
There's a glimmer of hope, however:
The law's author, Sen. Gil Cedillo, D-Los Angeles, said the governor had promised in private meetings to work in good faith on a new version of the bill.
