"California legislators ask Mexican Senate to intervene [in driver's licenses for illegal aliens]"

This is a MexiData translation of a Mexican newspaper story from 9/7/04. I couldn't find this mentioned anywhere else:

Mexico City -- Members of the Assembly of California have asked the Mexican Senate (sic) to beseech Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to sign the bill so that almost 2 million undocumented Mexicans can obtain driver's licenses that would serve as identification...

...Marco Antonio Firebaugh, said that the governor "is the one who has the ability to make it law, to give this right to Mexicans, whether they have settled in California or not... We want the Mexican people to know that the measure is on his desk... However it is now September and he has not responded whatsoever, although we will insist on approval of the bill, basically so that illegal migrants can have access to education and health services in the U.S..."

Assemblywoman Cindy Montanez, from the San Fernando Valley, said that it is vital for Mexico to ask Schwarzenegger to approve this legislation "so that he would know that not only people of California, but an entire country is asking that he sign the bill."

MexiData adds a note that a fulfillment of these requests would be against Mexico's constitution.

UPDATE: Now see "U.S. code 18 U.S.C. 953". What they did might have been illegal, not that anyone would have the guts to do anything about it.

This confirms, along with the mexican military's border incursions, and other hostile interventions, that a state of war exists with that country. More than ten million nationals of an enemy nation that is currently at war with us, are residing in this country. Likewise their children who are minors in the custody of such hostile aliens, regardless of their citizenship, should be rounded up and deported.

Our Politicians need to read the first line of our Constitution, concerning 'Insuring of Domestic tranquility, providing for the common defense, General Welfare and secure blessing of Liberty', none of which will be possible with the crushing burden of illegal aliens seeking public assistance from an already over-taxed citizenry as well as the very real danger of the criminal elements and the Terrorist groups infiltrating our borders for the purpose of carrying out acts of War against the population. Self preservation is not an extremist or isolationist ideal. It is not a COnservative ideal. It is common sense.
