AGREED! I cant believe the nonsense I heard last night. Bustamante was saying that they should be able to get a drivers license because "anyone who works hard' date=' and pays their taxes should have a right to have a drivers license so they can get to work, and take their kids to school or the doctor"
Hello! What tax do they pay? Sales tax? Surely not income tax, they dont have a SSN! And WHAT! There's nothing wrong with us paying taxes to put their kids through school and give them medical coverage?? OMG, what kind of twisted logic is that?!
BTW, as a note on that, it has been stated for YEARS that a drivers license is a privelege, not a right. If a drivers license ever becomes a right in California I am going to be the first one to move to safer grounds!
And I agree, Amen to JON! I just about died laughing the other day when I saw four road-workers operating a TAPE MEASURE![/quote']
I don't think the issue is with the hard working illegal, but more with the safety of others, because these people are going to drive regardless.
Actually, I heard a laywer argue it may be a right to drive. You have freedoms in this country and one is to transport yourself from place to place. Have a drivers license only pays for municipalities. To be honest, our license program is a joke anyways. Just look at how many poor drivers are out there. Anyway, just an interesting way to look at things (Really just arguing that one for the sake of arguing.)
I do agree with the Caltrans crap. My friends and I always joke about that when were working on our cars, because its always one person doing the work while the rest sit around and watch.
