Interesting, I wonder if Californians know that their state leaders care more about illegal immigrants than the legal USCs/LPRs living there?

 

The finale of the state's legislative session was a primal scream aimed at the president.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Ripping into Donald Trump in the final hours of this year’s legislative session, California lawmakers passed measures urging Congress to censure the president, bucking his immigration policies and seeking to force him to release his tax returns. They also formally called on Trump “to publicly apologize to all Americans for his racist and bigoted behavior.”

If there was any question about the location of the nerve center of the anti-Trump resistance, it was settled with a defiant fusillade of legislation Friday and Saturday memorializing California’s antipathy toward the president.

 

The end-of-session rush of bills served as a reminder of the limitations of the president’s recent diplomacy with Democrats in Washington — and of an unrelenting effort to keep pressure on the president from afar.

“The issue of resistance is beyond the symbolism,” Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de León said after the session officially closed. “There’s real lives at stake … and I think that a lot of other municipalities, as well as other states, are looking towards California … to be the leader of this resistance.”

Lawmakers advanced a “sanctuary state” bill limiting local law enforcement officials’ ability to cooperate with federal immigration authorities, passed an advisory measure urging Congress to censure Trump for his response to the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, and passed legislation requiring presidential candidates to release tax returns before appearing on the California ballot. They also called on other states to withhold voter data from the president’s commission on election fraud.

This state and a majority of the lawmakers both on a local and state level are the worst. They would rather pander to the homeless and illegal immigrant activist groups than actual law abiding citizens of this state.

I thought Immigration is a Federal issue?

According to Jerry Brown and Eric Garcetti it's a local issue since a quarter of the DACA recipients and Illegals in general live here in California. That's why the poverty rate here in California is off the charts.

For now. I would imagine that a decent percent of illegal immigrants will pour in to the state from neighboring states after this. Of course I have no clue where they will live. The house across the street is a rental that goes for 2100.00 a month. Its a 2 bedroom 1 bath house and about 1000 sqft. From what I gather one couple rents it and then a couple of weeks later the rest moved in. There are roughly 10-12 people in that house. Rough living conditions if you ask me.

Where do you live in California if you don't mind me asking? I am in Pasadena.

I have seen that alot as well down here in the LA Metro area. The rentals start at around $1800 a month where I live for a 2 bedroom apartment, a house is even more than that. But a fair number of Illegals come here for all the benefits that they receive from the state, all the while someone like me who has 4 kids has to pay for EVERYTHING no matter what.
