Truth Stranger than Fiction
Here is a real classic example of truth being stranger than fiction. This little tidbit comes from our local politicians here in California. You see...California is a very liberal state...and of course, so are most of the politcians we have at state level. This is particularly true of our Assembly.
By now most people have heard of various states giving illegal (yes illegal) aliens drivers licenses. Basically rewarding them for commiting a federal offense. If drivers licenses were limited just to driving...I suppose it would not be such a big pill to swallow. But we all know that state drivers licenses are really de facto primary identification cards. They are used to buy property, get jobs, apply for benefits and open bank accounts...among other uses. Doesn't really seem fair to legal residents and US citizens...does it?
Well...now because it looks like the Real ID Act will be passed by Congress and signed by Bush...state drivers licenses could no longer be used as an ID for any Federal business, or be used to board airplanes. That is how it should be in my opinion. It seems that one of our more activist assemblyman...Mr. Cedillo...has quitely snuck a new bill in hoping no one would notice. As a matter of fact...out Governor did not know about it until just a few days ago. Very sneaky indeed.
So what would this new proposed law do you might be wondering? Well...if you are a legal resident or US citizen...you are not going to like it. Basically...it would exempt all illegal aliens who are driving in California without a license...from getting their cars towed and impounded. That's right...if they are caught by the police driving without a license...their cars cannot be towed or impounded. But...the cars of legal residents and US citizens can continue to be towed and impounded at owners expense. Currently...the police are allowed to impound the car of anyone driving without a license. If this wacky bill gets passed...only you an I will get their cars impounded...at our cost...while the illegal aliens get away scott free. What the Hell! Whose country is this anyway? What a load of crap! Since when do people who are in this country illegally get better and preferential treatment over legal residents...let alone US citizens? This really bothers me...being a veteran who gave 6 years to this country defending it. I have to pay through the nose to get my car out of the impound lot should I ever get caught without a license...yet some illegal alien can come in here...drive without a license and get caught...AND THEY GET TO KEEP THEIR CAR!!!!!! Bullshit! They are not even supposed to be here in the first place. I wish I could pick and choose which laws I did not want to obey.
Welcome to Los Angeles...Mexico. Sigh.........
