California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to Terminate Drivers Licenses for Illegal: In a meeting with the Daily News editorial board this morning, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger made his previously ambiguous position on granting driver's licenses to illegal immigrants clear: It's not going to happen. Not under his watch.
Schwarzenegger said he was open to giving driver's licenses to illegal immigrants, but cited technical reasons for why he couldn't do so just yet. Throughout most of that time, he said California couldn't act until the federal government offered some clarifications on the Real ID Act.
When asked whether he would support licenses for illegal immigrants since Real ID is no longer an obstacle, he said, "It doesn't look good."
And why?
"Because the people of California hate it, and I represent the people."
Schwarzenegger also observed that this issue -- along with the budget and the car tax -- led to the undoing of Davis, and he wasn't going to repeat that mistake.
