The 'California ID's For All' measure was signed into law as other states are cruelly targeting migrants and villifying immigration, Newsom's office said.

Undocumented immigrants in California can now get official state identification, thanks to a bill signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom.

The"California ID's For All" measure is aimed at helping non-drivers, who otherwise have no form of state identification. "California is expanding opportunity for everyone, regardless of immigration status," Newsom said in a statement."We're a state of refuge — a majority-minority state, where 27 percent of us are immigrants."

With official state identification, street vendors can more easily get local health permits, students will have better access to in-state tuition at public colleges and universities, and ESL courses at community colleges; and gives low-income Californians — regardless of their immigration status — eligibility for legal assistance in civil matters.

A 2013 law allowed undocumented people to get a restricted driver's license, but it was not considered federal ID.

I believe I will take over the identity of a Scholar from Oxford University and plan to become a new US Citizen and start a whole new life under my new name. The person at window 14 will provide me with my photo ID. I obtain a work Visa/sponsorship with a company.umm EasyFraud

I will send my Tia tomorrow lol

I have to pay for a Real ID, but Undocumented don’t?

Newsom is providing them ID’s so they can also register to vote ahead of the Mid-Term Elections. Newsom believes Hispanic votes can be bought because he believes a corrupt government like Mexico means all its citizens are as corrupt as he is.

This is criminal ❗️

Oh and I bet there won't be any voter fraud involved with giving illegals ID's.

What about Real ID?

I’m officially going to identify myself as an illegal to any city, county, and state entity to get better benefits and programs citizens don’t seem to get.

Um, illegal immigration is, well, illegal. Explains why it’s vilified.

Federal limits apply to us but not them ? Hmmmm

NewSCUM is a joke.

To be honest, I would rather give State Issued IDs to the Undocumented, because they seem to be willing to come here and work their a**es off to earn a living. I would like to take away the IDs of the Homeless Criminal Junkie Vagrants who do nothing be leach off society.

So this country is open for business to any one from any other country? They get our tax money for food/housing with this ID but they don't have to speak or write English, we have to take their children into our schools and teach English? Why not just send ID's all over the world

I think you are referring to the millions of ILLEGAL immigrants.

Like they are going to use Real Names for work. But then again they probably can get a job with Archer Western with Fake ID’s!

I’m pretty sure we are all in favor of legal immigration. Illegal immigration on the other hand should be vilified and we should target them. It’s federal law after all.

Part2 of the TheLiberalLeash Do you not see what is happening? This is not a conspiracy theory How do you think black slaves were lured? A promise of a better life. DO NOT BELIEVE the OldWhiteMan BidenBorderCrisis. Go back home East of the 96th Meridium DANFRA AK61

Unreal.

Can you make up your name and age?

When Newsom’s office says “vilifying immigration” they really mean illegal immigration, correct? Can someone in the media get this clarified?

So illegals have equal rights? I guess for those who waited in line like several of my family members wasted their time doing the right thing. Thanks governor hair gel.

The Real ID are the ones that prove citizenship.

Obviously Twitter is behind this. They pressured the Newsom administration to enact this so millions of new subscribers would sign up just to write crazed comments. Next, Twitter will pressure the U.N. to hire Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as its permanent secretary-general.

Ima Cardholder sounds foreign!!!

Of course they are. Open borders + ID = voters.

Why... They still don't have Insurance?

Old news

Go to the fields of Fresno and Ventura County to pick up fruits and vegetables and then once you have a job there let me know how you like it. If you don’t appreciate what undocumented inmigration does for us in this county please don’t tell me your mother came legally.

I wonder why you are showing a Real ID instead of a without Federal Limits ID. As a Foregion National is not authorized a Real ID.

I do not agree with this. Come legally. It took my mother n law yrs to get her kids here from Jamaica. They put her through hell, but she got them here LEGALLY!

Next Newsom will give them voting rights.

HuXijin_GT RussianEmbassy zlj517 So they don't get the federal (?) Real ID thingie? Anyway, L.A. County has formally approved letting non-citizens take county government jobs. Great for local Chinese and Russians unless the county follows up with a discriminatory rule.

Can you make up any identity you want?

Does this mean have a alius even though I'm a American citizen can I say I'm illegal just to a ID 😖🤦‍♂️🤔🤷‍♂️

So giving illegal immigrants in California an ID cards does what?

Just send a s... load of ID's to China and be done with it.

What 'Give It Away' Gavin has done is remove all incentives for illegal immigrants to apply for citizenship. You can live in the US, buy a house, drive, send your kids to school, collect SS benefits and never pay anything more than a sales tax.

Lol

Newsom is so disconnected it’s embarrassing

Oh pls

Next step for Newsom, California will require CA id to vote 🤣🤣🤣🤨 🤨🤨🤬

I wonder how cruel he would consider it if that demographic voted red?

This is completely insane.

waiting for the hate tweets.

Just in time for elections
