Ruben Navarrette : California was close to giving driver 's licenses to immigrants . Navarrette : The catch : the licenses would have to bear some distinguishing mark on them to ensure that they 're used only for driving and not identification to obtain employment or board airplanes , or open bank accounts or obtain public benefits . Obama administration is unhappy with the license 's proposed design . He says federal agencies want a unique design or color to distinguish them . Garcia : Our record on immigration is bad enough , why this one ?
