His bill will allow those convicted of DUIs and that have their licenses pulled, to drive. Legal immigrants may buy insurance, but ILLEGAL immigrants do not. Why should they? Once theyve caused an accident while driving drunk, they just run away from the scene. What I want to know is are there any Hispanic politicians in California who are loyal Americans, supporters of the laws they swore to uphold, and dont think that they are Mexicans on a mission from God to reconquer the state for Mexico?
Calif. bill would protect unlicensed drivers from arrest
The legislation by Assemblyman Gil Cedillo, D-Los Angeles, would change police procedures at drunken-driving checkpoints, prohibiting officers from arresting drivers and immediately impounding their cars if their only offense is not having a license.
Supporters say the bill, AB353, would impose a consistent policy statewide - some agencies confiscate unlicensed drivers' cars now, and some do not - while keeping DUI checkpoints from being turned into traps for otherwise law-abiding illegal immigrants who cannot obtain licenses.
"In most parts of California, you basically have to have a car," said Mark Silverman, director of immigration policy at the Immigrant Legal Resource Center. "You have to be able to drive to survive, to get anywhere. Because of that, the truth is, immigrant drivers without licenses will be driving anyway because of the necessity. The towing of cars will not stop people from driving."
