Schwarzenegger Wants Proverbial “J.” Added To Papers
Reuters reports,
Several rabbis weighed in on Wednesday against Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s idea for adding a distinguishing mark to driver’s licenses that would be given to illegal immigrants, saying it harks back to Holocaust-era persecution of Jews.
I could just be ignorant, but why are we issuing driver’s licenses to *illegal* immigrants?!
Because even illegal immigrants need some form of ID
ILLEGAL immigrants shouldn’t be given a license in the first place. Might as well call them legal then.
ID is different than a driver’s licenses.
It’s all right.
Do you really think that this brings some rememberance of the holocaust?

Where is the parallel? The ‘J’ stood to mark men and women who broke no laws, but were separated from the population and slaughtered. The proposed, umm, ‘M’ would indicate that the carrier of the ID willfully (if justifuably) crossed into the US illegally and therefore has a different status than a properly documented alien or citizen.
