Why not just give California to Mexico at this point?
California gives immigrants here illegally unprecedented rights, benefits, protections
It started with in-state tuition. Then came driver’s licenses, new rules designed to limit deportations and state-funded healthcare for children. And on Monday, in a gesture heavy with symbolism, came a new law to erase the word “alien” from California’s labor code.
Together, these piecemeal measures have taken on a significance greater than their individual parts — a fundamental shift in the relationship between California and its residents who live in the country illegally. The various benefits, rights and protections add up to something experts liken to a kind of California citizenship.
Democratic lawmakers and immigration activists, with diminishing opposition from the GOP, continue to seek new laws and protections. These measures include cracking down on employers withholding pay from low-wage workers and expanding state-subsidized healthcare to adult immigrants without papers.
It’s not like at least a third of California prisons are holding violent criminal illegal aliens or something.
A few comments from Californians
- Does anyone find it odd that an American citizen who wrote a bad check at age 18, cannot get a license to cut hair or clean teeth ? In the meantime, an illegal alien with multiple murders in Mexico, can become a lawyer, get a home loan, and of course a California Drivers License. Have you noticed the increased traffic in LA, while the hit-and-run rate is rarely reported in the press and hovers above 50%, because illegal aliens can now get a drivers license without buying insurance. Instead of carefully driving to and from work because they are unlicensed and their car will be impounded, they now can go anywhere, anytime with their worst penalty from a nasty officer being a $25 fix-it ticket for failure to provide proof of insurance, when in fact they are uninsured. Welfare checks and full union membership is coming.
- Wonder if the DOJ will go after Brown and legislative Democrats as they went after Arizona for legislating against federal law?
- It does not mean much to be a American Citizen anymore in California. Everything the D’s do here in CA are to benefit them. This insures the votes to keep them in office. This also insures they have a cheap work force to cut the grass, clean the office and cook them dinner. Ever notice where the sanctuary cities are they are heavily D’s? Again there are no benefits to be a citizen. Sad really.
Of course, what California does will end up costing the taxpayers in the rest of the country.
