The chief, Charlie Beck, said he does not necessarily support issuing them standard driver’s licenses, but perhaps a special document that would show their identity, and provide proof that they have the skills to drive legally in the state.
Beck, who expressed his views in an interview Wednesday with the Los Angeles Times, argued that the state has failed to reduce the number of undocumented immigrants driving without a license.
"The reality is that all the things that we've done — 'we' being the state of California — over the last 14, 16 years have not reduced the problem one iota, haven't reduced undocumented aliens driving without licenses,” Beck said.

If they won't reduce undocumented aliens (and they have shown little interest in THAT), how do they expect to reduce undocumented aliens without drivers licenses? Its an insult to everyone whom the State of Califorinia makes show a birth certificate and a second fornm od ID just to GET a license. Unless, of course, you swam, ran, or jumped into the country. And an insult to everyone with a legitimate license who gets fined or jailed and then pursued with all the power of the state to COLLECT those fines if THEY are caught "driving without a license". If the police chief is THAT stupid, he should resign. Work the rides at Disneyland or something....
