The matter was extensively discussed, even in liberal media like the Los Angeles Times.
Also, to help put the matter in perspective, Latino advocacy groups have long fought enforcement of insurance-required laws, claiming such laws were "discriminatory" since so many Latinos, legal and illegal, choose not to obtain insurance.
They may or may not have fought them. If they did they lost. You cannot register a car without proof of insurance and if you drop the insurance the insurance company will notify DMV and they will revoke the registration.
