Esquivel soon could get driving privileges: She is one of an estimated million eligible for a new federal program that temporarily defers deportation and grants work permits to people who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children.
California legislators this month approved a bill that would allow an estimated 450,000 eligible young immigrants in the state to use the federal work permits at the Department of Motor Vehicles as proof of lawful presence in the country.
Young immigrants who qualify won't get permanent legal residency or a path to citizenship, but will receive a work authorization card and a Social Security number.
And don't hand me that crap about "illegals only take jobs others wouldn't." I was a head chef for 7 years, and I have seen many well-qualified White and Black people get over-looked for a kitchen position because an illegal had a cousin that would work there cheaper. I have also worked for construction companies for a good many years, and have seen many well-qualified White and Black people get passed on because there was a family of Mexicans that had a brother that just snuck into the country that was looking for a job.
I don't understand why we allow illegals (aka - criminals) to continue to pollute our benefit systems, job sectors, and economy.

You really can't point fingers though. There you are all comfy cozy. Probably not a real care in the world. Certainly no question on when you'll get your next meal. You can't point fingers until you've walked a mile in there shoes. It's about life or death for them. What if you were one of them?
But the lawmakers won't do that because they like their housekeepers and gardners.

The illegal isn't the problem here your employer was the problem. He could have just said no he is an illegal but didn't so he could pocket more profit. And I will say this many illegals are willing to work far more harder than a lot of white and blacks are willing to. Because the main reason why a lot of white and blacks won't take a job is because they say I won't do that job for that kind of money.

This program was for people that were brought here as children and had no choice in the matter. So they are not the "criminals" you may be thinking they are.
Besides, I'd be willing to bet that your family, and mine, came to this country illegally many years ago. Aren't you glad they did? At least the Mexican people are not murdering us and placing the survivors on reservations!
That would suck huh, you illegal immigrant you!

Also, when you have so many illegals that refuse to speak the language of the land and we see jobs that now require us to be bilingual, there is problem. No American should be forced to speak a foreign language in order to get a job unless you're working with internationl customers.

That is the salt of the earth attitude according to the bloodlines. Good slave belief! They would blow you a kiss for that. Life isn't equal, tough luck, wait in line.
Well, the only reason life isn't equal, is because of the ISMS, or the opinions, of people like you. Because if we all were on the same page about equality and abundance for all, free land, food and clean energy technology, it would be done. Billlions wouldn't be starving. There would hardly ever be a rape or murder in the land. Kids would be healthy and have good self esteem. The human would progress to a level one civilizaton and achieve progression.
Politicians are mirrors. Its the opinions like that that enslave this world.

Oh you ain't kidding!! I have been a programmer for the last 17 years. I used to make very good money. Had the house, cars, my wife and kid etc etc. American dream right?
Well.. I've been out of work since November 2010. I became so desperate that I actually went and applied to work at McDonalds. I would do anything to be able to feed my son. But guess what? I was turned down because they were looking for "bi-lingual" applicants!!!!
