California wants to give Legal status to the undocumented

While the DREAM Act failed on a national stage, California State Democrats would like to skirt federal law and provide a pathway to citizenship for those who are illegally residing in the Golden State.
State Assembly Bill 78, written by Tony Mendoza (D-Norwalk) seeks to put an advisory measure on the state ballot asking California voters if they think the United States is responsible to grant amnesty to longtime illegal aliens currently living unlawfully inside America.
The Democrat’s proposed “pathway to citizenship bill” would give illegal aliens who have worked in the U.S. for five years, have no felony convictions, speak English and are current with all their taxes a chance to legalize their status.
The bill’s author, Mendoza claims the illegal immigration debate is front-page news across the country and says the nation's "broken immigration system" requires an overhaul that "rewards work, reunites families, restores the rule of law, reinforces immigrant workers and redeems the 'American Dream.'"
The Southern California Democrat hopes the measure will qualify for California’s statewide primary election in June 2012.

this is like Dream act but for those in their 50s 60s

They should let undocumented get driver licenses in CA. If Mexico was able to do it why can't we? This should bring a flood of revenue for California and the stupid DMV wont have to close on weird days.

What if you once lived in CA and then moved elsewhere?

its impossible, immigration reform can only come from the fed not the states!!!! states CANNOT grant citizenship.

Where does that say?

Nice...

Oh and who would stop us? Obama ?? Nigga please.

Wait? but this is no Dream Act....This would pretty much apply to any person who meets the requirements. Naaaaw thats less votes. Dream Act!!

They might not be able to give citizenship, but if they can give drivers licenses, hell yeah!
