Immigration and California
In our past, California was once the gold standard for the country. If offered the fulfillment of dreams and opportunities of a better lifestyle. Today, because of the progressive socialist pushing Marxist principles, cities across our country are littered for miles with homeless people. Downtown areas of our major cities are littered with needles and feces, exorbitant taxes coddling illegals and criminals, and overregulation of all facets of life.
In California, Gov. Jerry Brown has supported open borders, extravagant spending on boondoggles life the high-speed rail to nowhere which has already tripled its budget.
Contrary to the opinion's of progressive socialists, President Trump is NOT attempting to roll back the clock, Instead, he is assuring the American people that the laws already on the books will be enforced. Kamala Harris stated that this is a political game and not in the best interest of Californians. She ignores the fact that a majority of the American people have decided that the Oakland Mayor Libby Schaff should be prosecuted for obstruction of Justice. Over 50% of legal residents of California across all economic and ethnic lines feel the same way.
Most people initially did not realize that Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, the murderer of Kate Steinle, was in the control of ICE, but was given over to the San Francisco Police on a drug warrant. It was the San Francisco police who then let him out to roam the streets and to murder Kate Steinle. Protecting Lopez-Sanchez from the law and declaring that the rights given to American citizens also cover this illegal immigrant is absurd.
Local and state officials have flaunted the rule of law and given protections to those criminally in this country. Being an illegal alien is enough of a reason to be deported. Nothing else is needed to be deported.
To undercut the rule of law and give rights to illegals is not making the community safer. It used to be taught in the early school years that the Constitution was written to support the American citizens. That is no longer being taught, and it appears those laws have been replaced with the idea that anyone, including illegals and other non-Americans get these same rights.
Illegals must then have the right to wave the Mexican flag and to burn the American flag. They can then have the right to demand unemployment, welfare, food stamps and all the other benefits that can be conjured up by the progressive socialists including eventually their right to vote.
Our country has been the beacon to a great portion of the world. Millions of people wish they were here. Leftists believe everything we have accomplished has been accomplished on the backs of others.
A simple question: If we are such a bad nation and if we terrify not only our own people but people around the world, why do they all want to come here?
Liberals can not defend our republic while advocating for open borders and not making a distinction between citizens and non-citizens. Blind support for open borders and allowing NON-citizens the ability to vote in our elections as California is doing is a dilution of legal citizens vote which includes those Legal immigrants who became citizens, There is no doubt that illegal's votes will result in keeping progressives socialists in power who will continue to allow non-citizens to receive the benefits which they are not entitled.
Recent actions by the Attorney General Jeff Sessions are legally sound. California does not like the judge that has been assigned to hear the case John Mendez, a George W, Bush appointee, and have requested that the federal lawsuit be moved to San Francisco, a liberal bastion. Perhaps they might even get Judge William Orrick III who ruled against withholding federal funds from cities that are “Sanctuary” cities. This is the same court where William Alsup, a Bill Clinton appointee, took it upon himself to block the federal decision to end the DACA program.
So the bottom line: what does the Constitution say? Article 1 Section 8: “The Congress shall have power….to establish the uniform rule of Naturalization.”
The Constitution gives the federal government the authority to make laws concerning naturalization, and the states must abide by those laws. This is closely tied to immigrants who are legally here and are applying for citizenship.
Article 1 Section 9:
Article VI reads:
In the U.S. Code sections, 1324 and 1325 states it is a felony to conceal, harbor or shelter illegal aliens. Failing to report illegal aliens is a violation the Immigration and Naturalization Act with repeated violations of our immigration laws, including crossing the border illegally is considered a felony.
This not only gives the Attorney General the authority to enforce current Federal immigration law but to prosecute those who refuse to do so. At the present time, that would include virtually the entire California legislature, and also a great many law enforcement officials and city officials.
Gov. “Moonbeam” Jerry Brown and all the progressive socialists on the California Legislature have been fighting the rule of law. “Moonbeam Jerry has called this a political stunt and declared that the Attorney General has no regard for the truth and that this is tantamount to “going to war” against California.
Our governor seems to think that this well oiled “engine of the American economy” that is California is allowed to dictate to the rest of the country what we should think, and agree to, and to believe. Does he not realize that California has been destroyed by the very policies that he put in place? Does he not realize that millions are leaving the state to find better opportunities?
The progressives will fight this every step of the way, even going as far as to hire former Attorney General “Contempt of Congress” Eric Holder to fight for them.
The progressive socialist have another idea which they claim will settle all the challenges that they face to get the open border that they so much want. Brian Fallon, a former Hillary Clinton spokesman is now talking about abolishing the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency which he calls an unaccountable immigration force. Now the talking points of the subject have been promulgated to all the Progressive talking heads of the mainstream media. They will use these liberal talking point to again attempt to convince the American people that abolishing the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency is “for the children”.
