LAPD's honcho, Chief Charlie Beck, is now saying illegal aliens should have driver's licenses from the states. I saw this coming a mile away.
One obsessed state legislator has been pushing a bill to do just that for years now.
As for Beck, he's been feeling the heat from the public because of a proposal to change the policy of impounding the vehicles of unliscensed drivers for 30 days. The change would mean that a driver, pulled over by the police who is, during that process, determined to be unlicensed, would be able to keep his car as long as he could call someone with a license to drive it away. This change, of course, means the unlicensed driver would be back to driving that car ten minutes later.
Since illegal aliens can't legally get valid California driver's licenses, illegal alien advocates have been calling for this change.
The problem with changing the policy is that unlicensed drivers kill a disproporionate number of people, so the existing 30-day impound saves lives.
The logical solution? Keep in the impound policy as it is and tell the illegal aliens we're not going to do yet another thing to accommodate lawbreakers.
But... I just knew the response was not going to be that, but rather "This is why we need to give driver's licenses to illegal aliens." Grrrr. Yes, let's deal with a problem by heading further down the path that created that problem. Call me crazy (and many people do, especially people who claim there's no difference between men and women), but I don't think this is going to make illegal aliens safer drivers. If they don't pass the driving test, they will simply drive anyway. After all, they obviously don't care about breaking the law. And should they cause a serious accident, they can simply go home to avoid justice.
Say, how difficult would be it be for illegal aliens to take advantage of "motor voter" laws to fraudently vote? Hmmm.
Beck says the illegal alien driver's licenses should be different, so it is clear they are illegal aliens. But Beck doesn't get to make those decisions, and as we all know from our marriage neutering friends, you can't have different government documents for different behaviors. But if we can go through all of the trouble of licensing these people, why can't we, oh, deport them?!? Yes, I know one is a state matter and the other is a federal matter, but the state handles things for the federal government all of the time.
STOP with accommodating the lawbreakers at the expense of legal immigrants, citizens, and our guests.
