Gil Cedillo's latest trick

By Chris Kelly · May 04, 2005 09:49 PM
California State Senator Gil Cedillo is an inveterate sponsor of bills trying to give driver's licenses to illegal aliens. He continually repeats the "it's for public safety" mantra, but his past actions and statements make it clear that something else is involved. You can read more about him here and here.

The possibility that the federal government might stop illegal aliens from getting driver's licenses seems to have caused him to try a new tack. S.B. 591 would amend the CA Vehicle Code's section relating to impounding vehicles:

...This bill would require a city or county to exempt a person from the impound period where the offense involves a person who has never been issued a driver's license due to an inability to meet the requirement that the applicant's presence in the United States is authorized under federal law...

According to Eric Leonard on KFI 640 AM Los Angeles, the LAPD might come out with an official stance on this bill. The bill is currently going through committees. See the status here and the history here. (Note: all the bill-oriented links might be replaced with later versions at some time. Here's the bill's main page.)

If you live in California, please contact your representatives and stress your opposition: Senate, Assembly.
