The San Jose Mercury News says "A revamped proposal to allow illegal immigrants to apply for California driver's licenses is pitting Bay Area immigrant rights groups against each other in the days before Gov. Gray Davis is set to decide whether to sign the controversial measure." The bill, AB 60, has been on hold for almost a year while its sponsor negotiated with Governor Gray Davis. " Some immigrant advocates say they can live with the proposed background checks and a requirement to provide evidence that undocumented immigrant applicants pay income taxes. Others, however, worry that the compromise, which came in response to concerns following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, amounts to an invasion of privacy by asking immigrants to submit requirements not asked of other driver's license applicants."
