California Law Undermines Air Safety

Nearly three weeks ago, embattled California Gov. Gray Davis signed SB 60, the bill that makes anyone with a federal Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (search) ("ITIN") eligible for a California driver's license. Since the bill's Sept. 5 signing, the full implications of Davis' act have become clearer: Not only does the bill represent the most unalloyed act of ethnic pandering in decades, but directly jeopardizes the safety of America’s air passengers.

California Immigration Law Is Ruled to Be Partly Illegal

A Federal judge today ruled unconstitutional major sections of Proposition 187, the disputed California ballot initiative that denies education and health benefits to illegal immigrants. But the judge, Mariana R. Pfaelzer of United States District Court in Los Angeles, left standing enough of the measure to cause lingering concern among civil rights advocates. Judge Pfaelzer ruled unconstitutional the section of the measure that permits the state to bar children who are illegal aliens from state-run primary and secondary schools. The judge noted that the United States Supreme Court had already held that such a denial was a breach of individual
