Illinois passes Drivers License's for Undocumented Immigrants

Governor Quinn signed into law the Illinois State Legislature bill which will allow Undocumented Immigrants to apply for valid State Driver's Licenses starting October 1, 2013.

This is a fantastic development. One of the most worthless arrests I have to make is a No Valid DL. Sans another violation (DUI, Reckless Driving, Speeding 30+ over, No Insurance, Texting in a School Zone, etc...) it's a huge waste of time and resources. And not just for me, but for all the associated Circuit Court Persons.

What this will accomplish is multi-fold. First off thousands of residents in Illinois will now have proper identification. With valid licenses they will be able to acquire insurance and be held liable for minor traffic infractions and accidents.

Additionally, they won't compound minor accidents or violations with a panicked desire to flee the scene.

Now, Right-Wing morons are livid over this citing their fantasy scenarios of Voter Fraud and their general fear of the Brown People but, the Totalitarian Right should applaud this for a number of reasons.

Right-Wingers, with their inherent distrust of Government, should be against arbitrary political boundaries being used to make people "criminals". And as all conservatives are Totalitarians they should applaud the identification process.

However, Right-Wingers are easily lead by their Corporate Controllers. Corporations and Plutocrats love "illegal" immigrants but want their Right-Wing stooges angry at them.

Corporations have always used the immigrant worker to undercut and control the American worker, in a multitude of ways. Plutocrats get to drive down wages and control employment opportunities while displacing Nativist anger at the incoming immigrant as opposed to the Business which happily employs the "illegal".

Also, Corporate interests are best served by having a ready supply of non-citizens because they can exploit them easily. Citizens in America have rights, benefits and protections. "Illegal" immigrants are a a dime a dozen and can be tossed aside if they get hurt or fired if they step out of line.

So, expect the usual round of Right-Wing Outrage and racist ignorant screeds but this is a win for Justice and Law in Illinois.

If Rupert Murdoch has nothing to hide...

Then all of his communiques, financial statements, personal emails, correspondence and all other data should be made available to the US Department of Justice. Along with every internal memo of Fox News and News Corporation.

If Murdoch doesn't make all this data available then I and the FBI can correctly conclude that Rupert Murdoch and members of Fox News are involved in a massive criminal conspiracy which needs to result in them being stripped of all assets prison sentences and a utter revocation of all broadcasting licenses. After all if Rupert Murdoch doesn't have something to hide then he would make that information available!

Murdoch's testimony overseas was a load of bollocks. Here are some of Rupert's sudden failure of perspicacity:

Asked by lawmakers why there was no investigation, Rupert Murdoch said: "I didn't know of it."

"I'm not really in touch."

"If we were to comment on anything now, it could result in guilty people."

"A lot of people had a lot of agendas in pursuing this hysteria."

"I'm sure there are headlines which can occasionally give offense, but it's not intentional."

"I don't know the details of what we're doing."

"I may have been lax in asking more."

"I think that we are more open than the United States."

"Most people say I've got crazy ideas and rise against me.

"I'd say, 'What's doing?'"

"I'm not sure what I said."

"This is not as an excuse, maybe it's an explanation of my laxity."

Rupert Murdoch is a criminal propagandist, whose tapestry of deception has planted the seeds of ignorance and division which will take a generation for America, Britain and every other nation who has been befouled by his pablum and lies to overcome.
