Why is LA mayor giving illegals special driving laws that legal citizens cannot have is it discrimination?

• Why is LA mayor giving illegals special driving laws that legal citizens cannot have is it discrimination because I am legal, I cannot have special laws that allow illegals to break laws with blessings of LA Mayor ? What happens if illegal driving without license is at fault for an accident, are police under orders not to ticket illegal, but allow them to call up license driver and police tell you, hope you got uninsured motorist coverage, we cannot apply certain driving laws to illegals, we must let them go. What if illegal is drinking and driving do police who pull them over, wait at least 1 hour trying to locate a license driver to the drive illegal and car home, and illegal not held to same laws as Americans ?The Los Angeles police union is outraged and is charging the mayor with putting politics above public safety. In a move that's sure to disturb Americans seeking a solution to the illegal alien problem, California's "City of Angeles" is taking its sanctuary title more seriously than most by ordering police officers to stop enforcing a state public safety law because it creates an “unfair burden” for illegal immigrants, according to a report by a top Washington, DC-based public interest group. A few weeks ago, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa ordered the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) to stop impounding the vehicles of unlicensed drivers for 30 days as per California state law, according to Judicial Watch, a non-profit organization that investigates and exposes government corruption and abuse. The state law is intended to keep potentially reckless drivers off the road and therefore protect the public. It applies to unlicensed drivers as well as those who have had their license revoked or suspended.

Under the law illegal immigrants make up the majority of the drivers who have their cars impounded because they can’t get licenses in California or most states. LAPD Chief Charlie Beck told the local newspaper that this presents an “unfair burden” and “disproportionate blow” for illegal aliens, who he refers to as a “valuable asset to our community.” So the chief has ordered his officers to give unlicensed drivers a chance to avoid having their vehicles impounded by calling someone with a license who would then be allowed to drive the car. The chief says it’s a “fairness issue” because there is a “vast difference between someone driving without a license because they cannot legally be issued one and someone driving after having their license revoked.” The Los Angeles police union is outraged and is charging the mayor with putting politics above public safety. “This new policy will result in innocent people being injured and killed,” the union said in a statement posted on its web site. “It is a sad day for Los Angeles residents because the Mayor is directing the LAPD to purposely not enforce a state law designed to protect public safety.” The union further points out that the new policy exposes officers and the city to potential legal liabilities stemming from any damage or injury caused by an unlicensed driver’s continued operation of a vehicle that should have been impounded under state law. It also “substantially reduces the disincentives against the unlicensed and unlawful operation of a vehicle.” According to the JW blog, the LAPD has a decades-old policy (Special Order No. 40) that prohibits officers from initiating police action with the objective of discovering the alien status of a person. This prevents officers from inquiring about the immigration status of an individual and from contacting federal officials about an individual’s immigration status. http://www.examiner.com/public-safety-in-national/l-a-cops-to-stop-impounding-illegal-aliens-vehicles In calif a lot laws sure do not apply to illegals. If an illegal was in walmart and carried out 70'' flat screen tv, all police can do is write a ticket and allow illegals to leave ? If an illegal orders a huge meal in resturant that comes out to $ 600.00 and says, I cannot pay, police can only issue ticket , by order of mayor they are not allowed to arrest illegals for minor low level crimes, why is there 1 law for Americans and 1 law for Americans ?
