In the waning hours of the 2013 legislative session, the Assembly on Thursday sent Gov. Jerry Brown a bill allowing undocumented immigrants to receive driver’s licenses.
The surprise 55-19 vote moved California a signature away from putting into law a measure that immigrant advocates have sought fruitlessly for years, with past attempts thwarted by legislative vote and gubernatorial veto.
“This is a moment, members,” sponsor Assemblyman Luis Alejo, D-Watsonville, said in closing remarks on the Assembly floor, “that years from now you’re going to look back on.”
In a statement released shortly after the vote, Brown signaled he will sign the bill.
“This bill will enable millions of people to get to work safely and legally,” Brown said in the statement. “Hopefully, it will send a message to Washington that immigration reform is long past due.
But the good news? Look for it to be eventually repealed.
In the not too distant future, the land formerly known as California will be ceded back to its rightful owner, Mexico.
At that point, what we now consider "illegal" immigrants automatically become citizens.
And the current residents who ARE citizens? They will be "illegals."
And the law allowing "illegals" to have drivers licenses will be repealed.
Neat, huh?
