So apparently Hollywood types are trying to get illegal aliens drivers’ licenses in California.
LOS ANGELES – Hollywood stars are joining the fight to get driver’s licenses for undocumented immigrants in California with a new ad featuring a mock award for “Best Nanny.”
More than 30 actors, musicians and writers, including Diane Keaton, Carlos Santana and “Million Dollar Baby” writer and producer Paul Haggis, took out the ad Monday in the entertainment industry trade paper Variety.
The group urges Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to approve a new bill that would allow illegal immigrants to get a license as long as background checks found they had no criminal violations.
Wouldn’t a background check reveal that they were here illegally? That would be a criminal violation. By default their own stipulation guarantees that even if the bill passes, they won’t be eligible.
Criminal violations might mean traffic violations that are criminal – e.g. no insurance, dwi/dui, reckless driving and so on.
Being here illegally is violation of Federal law, and is a criminal offense.
At least they drive better than the people in Texas.
