Now this is going to turn out well

The Sacramento Bee:
California poised to grant driver's licenses to young illegal immigrants
California is on the verge of allowing hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants to receive driver's licenses for the first time in nearly two decades.
The key question is how to do it.
The issue of granting driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants has raged in the Legislature for much of the past decade, without resolution, but fighting is largely moot now due to a new federal policy.
President Barack Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals gives a select group of undocumented immigrants the right to live and work in the United States for two years without fear of deportation.
California is laying the groundwork for extending the privilege to driving, too, for an estimated 400,000 immigrants.
400,000 new Democrats signed up for the dole and registered to vote. Voting for free stuff instead of freedom.
An interesting sidenote -- from page seven of this 2012 California Department of Motor Vehicles report (PDF):
2012 Annual Report of the California DUI Management Information System
In 2010, Hispanics (43.7%) again represented the largest ethnic group among DUI arrestees, as they have each year since 1992 (with the exception of 1999, when Whites were the largest group at 42.8%). Hispanics continued to be arrested at a rate substantially higher than their estimated 2010 population parity of 33.7%
There is no mention in that report whether these Hispanics are illegal immigrants or not -- in fact, the word immigrant does not appear anywhere in the report's 177 pages.
