California Democrats are once again kowtowing to illegal aliens by championing a law to provide them with driver's licenses. The previous law, signed by former Gov. Gray Davis who was trying to keep his job, was repealed before it took effect. Now the Democrats in the Legislature are re-enacting the legislation to try again.

Sacramento's chief of police, Albert Najera, favors giving driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.

"Why are we penalizing people for coming to California after we entice them here with jobs and quality-of-life standards far above what they can ever achieve in their homelands?" he wrote. "Why don't we face reality and concede that we cannot keep our standards of living and our low cost of quality products and services or our booming building industry without foreign nationals?"

It's pretty disturbing that a police chief would blame the victim for the actions of criminals. I guess carjacker victims shouldn't "entice" criminals by driving such a nice car. As comedian George Carlin would say, "She had it comin'. She was wearing a short skirt."

In Virginia, the Legislature made it tougher for people to get a license after it was discovered that many of the 9/11 hijackers used a lax Virginia law to get identification. Virginia faced some harsh criticism for making it easy for terrorists to move freely about the country.

Whose side is California on?
