Governor Brown Signs Multiple Bills In Support Of Illegal Aliens

[Ayatollahgondola]

The Governor has bent over and under to send a message that California is open to illegal aliens. Not one veto in the lot.
This is an outrage! If he thinks we won't keep fighting, he's grossly mistaken. If he and the state legislature think we won't mitigate, challenge, or even ignore some of these laws, they are to be surprised. Their whole mindset is to send a message that our efforts to demand enforcement and deny amnesty is futile.
I can assure them all, that resistance inevitable!

GOVERNOR BROWN SIGNS IMMIGRATION LEGISLATION


10-5-2013

SACRAMENTO – As advocates rally across the nation today to urge Congress to adopt comprehensive immigration reform, Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. signed legislation to enhance school, workplace and civil protections for California’s hardworking immigrants.

“While Washington waffles on immigration, California’s forging ahead,” said Governor Brown. “I’m not waiting.”

Immigration reform advocates are rallying today in cities across the United States to call on the U.S. House of Representatives to give legal status to undocumented U.S. residents.

While gridlock continues in Washington, California continues to move forward on immigration reform. On Thursday, Governor Brown signed AB 60, extending the legal right to drive on the state’s roadways to millions of Californians and in October 2011, Governor Brown signed AB 131, the California Dream Act.

The Governor signed the following bills today:

• AB 4 by Assemblymember Tom Ammiano (D-San Francisco) – Prohibits a law enforcement official from detaining an individual on the basis of a United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) hold after that individual becomes eligible for release from custody, unless specified conditions are met.

• AB 35 by Assemblymember Roger Hernández (D-West Covina) – Provides that immigration consultants, attorneys, notaries public, and organizations accredited by the United States Board of Immigration Appeals are the only individuals authorized to charge a fee for providing services associated with filing an application under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's deferred action program.

• AB 524 by Assemblymember Kevin Mullin (D-South San Francisco) – Provides that a threat to report the immigration status or suspected immigration status of an individual or the individual's family may induce fear sufficient to constitute extortion.

• AB 1024 by Assemblymember Lorena Gonzalez (D-San Diego) – Allows applicants, who are not lawfully present in the United States, to be admitted as an attorney at law.

• AB 1159 by Assemblymember Lorena Gonzalez (D-San Diego) – Imposes various restrictions and obligations on persons who offer services related to comprehensive immigration reform.

• SB 141 by Senator Lou Correa (D-Santa Ana) – Requires that the California Community Colleges and the California State University, and requests that the University of California, exempt a United States citizen who resides in a foreign country, and is in their first year as a matriculated student, from nonresident tuition if the student demonstrates financial need, has a parent or guardian who was deported or voluntarily departed from the U. S., lived in California immediately before moving abroad, and attended a secondary school in California for at least three years.

• SB 150 by Senator Ricardo Lara (D-Bell Gardens) – Authorizes a community college district to exempt pupils attending community colleges as a special part-time student from paying nonresident tuition.

• SB 666 by Senator Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento) – Provides for a suspension or revocation of an employer's business license for retaliation against employees and others on the basis of citizenship and immigration status, and establishes a civil penalty up to $10,000 per violation.

Why, oh why??????? It is so disturbing. I am sure that the insurance companies are quite happy now...more policies to sell.

This state is now virtually hopeless when it comes to illegal immigration. I figure the only things which could possibly save it at this point would be either a recall of Governor Moonbeam, a federal lawsuit by the Department of Justice for his illegal actions, or a lawsuit on behalf of the people which might ultimately have to be decided by the Supreme Court. Unfortunately the first is highly unlikely given the apathy of the people of California, and the second is out of the question with this administration, which leaves only the third possibility, and I don't even know if the suit would be considered by a judge to have any standing.

So what can be done about it? I haven't been on this site in quite a while and it looks like we're still banging our heads against a brick wall and still complaining about the same old crap. I think we're behind enemy lines here. CALIFORNIA IS LOST. Governor Moonbeam has just handed the keys over to Mexico. Illegal aliens have more rights than citizens in this state and are given breaks, financially and otherwise that are not offered to citizens. Illegals are ABOVE the law, just like the one in the white house. Nothing is going to change unless these liberal jalapeno suckers are booted out of office and replaced with individuals that respect the laws of this nation and aren't out to implode this state and completely eradicate the middle class.

Impeachment proceedings need to be implemented. Our representatives do not represent us. The majority of reps in Sacramental are illegals, married to illegals or are anchor babies. What else could you expect from a group like that being led by a burned out, rich hippie?

Hey JB, long time no see! I see we had similar thoughts on this. The only problem with your idea of booting out these "liberal jalapeno suckers" (there's a colorful term for you!) is that they're completely entrenched between the gerrymandering of the districts and the overall demographics of California which is now totally skewed in their favor anyway. I just don't really see any solution at this point other than the ones I suggested previously. You're right, I think California is lost.

[JB_Parrothead]

Nice to see you're still in the fight, LAPhil...I had to give it up for awhile...was causing me too many health problems. I need to cruise the site and see where else I can put in my two cents worth. LOL!

Have a great day, my friend!

The point is, it's a principle and a way of life you choose, and the real estate is the battleground. What purpose does it serve to make statements like those if you really want to live another way? Are you trying to convince yourself that you can never have the government and way of life of your choosing, or trying to convince the opposition that they are winning?

AG, your thinking makes sense over the long term, but I'm not going to live that long. Sure California could once return to the way it was, and of course the sooner the better, but the way things are going I'm not holding my breath for it to happen in my lifetime. If that sounds cynical or defeatist I'm sorry, but the reality is that it will take many years to turn things around here. If I had the power to change things sooner I would do whatever I could. I guess I shouldn't say California is lost because that implies it's lost forever, and I couldn't accept that. It's not that I've given up all hope, but other than voting I just don't know what I can do to change the reality of the situation. A few years ago I wouldn't have said this, as we had a viable movement and it looked like we actually had the chance to change things. But now look at how SOS has dwindled as well as other similar movements which we hardly ever hear from anymore. I don't know what happened, but somewhere along the line we lost our voice, and I no longer feel empowered to change the direction of this state.

Just as example of how little chance we have to change things any time soon, look at the last election we had for governor. We had a choice between Moonbeam and Meg Whitman, both of whom we know had no sympathy for what we stand for. But of course there was Chelene Nightingale who did but never had a prayer of winning, and we both know you wouldn't have voted for her if she was the last person on earth.

I know you don't appreciate these sentiments, and I really admire everything you've done and continue to do to fight the power. Perhaps if there were more people like yourself we wouldn't be in this mess, but it seems that there either aren't enough people who care anymore, or there is more sympathy for illegal aliens than there used to be. So I'm sorry to sound so discouraged, but I really am.

Ayatollah,

I agree with you that although things look like all is lost in California, I am proud to tell you that we are not yet defeated. In fact we are a long way away from being defeated.

Though things look bleak It's important for all of us in the fight against open borders and for American sovereignty to acknowledge who we have been fighting. We've been fighting the wealthiest and most powerful groups and individuals in this country, and despite the monolithic powers that we are up against,they haven't yet gotten the amnesty and immigration surge that they desperately want.

We're fighting the globalist business interest, the Chambers of Commerce from California to Maine, The wealthy Tech sector, the Unions, The largest and most powerful business interest, virtually all the wealthiest billionaires in America, from Bill Gates to Soros, Adelson, Zuckerberg, and the Kotch Brothers. The Catholic Church and the Main line Protestant Churches want us to surrender our borders. The entire Democrat Party is against us and embraces open borders. The establishment elite of the Republican party have joined their opposition and are more than happy to put the country on the auction block.
The entire main stream media in the US denigrates our side daily, and has done so for decades.

In short we are standing up against the entire, money and political power elite of the United States.

Despite this enormous army that we've been up against this last 7+ years, they still haven't got their precious amnesty for illegal aliens, despite many attempts.

One can only wonder Why a group with this much money and power hasn't gotten what they are after?

After all we're basically a rag tag army, of nobody's with few connections, very little representation in Congress, no disposable income, almost no paid lobbyist's in Washington, no super wealthy supporters and many of us are retired or unemployed.
It's truly a David VS. Goliath situation.
In fact it's amazing that they haven't crushed us like a bug long ago.

Let me tell you, the people that we are standing up against are not use to being stopped.

Just encase you don't know the reason why we haven't been defeated, and the opposition hasn't yet been successful in achieving an amnesty is because of the simple reason that, we are right and they are wrong, and the vast majority of Americans (though not always paying attention to the crisis) are with us on this issue.

To defeat us is to literally defeat the American nation, and rip the sovereignty of this country from the rightful owners of our land.
A vote for amnesty is nothing short of treason, and Americans know it.

I am very proud to tell you that we Americans have not yet been defeated!


I'm even more proud to tell you that I believe if the power elite that is currently pushing the amnesty in Congress isn't successful in this attempt it will be a major and crushing defeat for them, and they know it.

Yes, things in California currently look bad, but be patient and think how things might look in six months if the amnesty is defeated in Washington.

It's a fact worth noting that after every victory we have had in defeating amnesty our side has grown stronger. If we are victorious in defeating the amnesty in Washington, we will move boldly and stronger from that victory and refocus our efforts then on the State level.
I believe Gov. Brown and the open border elites will then have much to fear from an embolden and stronger anti illegal alien offensive.

The news media pronounced us dead long ago, but if it was true, why don't they have their amnesty?

Respectfully, what are you willing to do besides complain?

Being right is not enough to win. Success is dependent on the number and effectiveness of activists regardless of who's right or wrong, and a single issue platform loses steam after a while. Lack of money to operate on doesn't help while an organizer becoming used to living on a cause turns the cause into that of supporting the organizer. There needs to be a source of operational funds while the organizer avoids becoming an embezzler.

In the meantime, the word "patriot" has been prostituted so much over the last decade by megalomaniacal power trippers and paranoid nut balls it's almost a pejorative, I've gotten to where I despise the word because of the way it's been misused.

Davi works tirelessly, doesn't give up against great odds and is very inclusive. Those on the other side sometimes hate one another but keep their discord between themselves and publicly work together towards a goal rather than endlessly stabbing each other in the back like so many of those right of center do. Minor disagreements become deal breakers and bridge burners center of right, and it needs to end or there will be no progress.

Correctly identify your enemies and don't give them ammunition to use against you - such as obvious propaganda, broadcasting bad information, hijacking the message with far, far right fringe lunacy, or statements which reflect a genuine obsession with race. If the illegals are an enemy, so are the American politicians, American employers, American open borders lobbyists, American churches seeking a congregation as well as meddling in Ceaser's affairs and anyone or anything else who uses them to screw you out of a job, your tax "contributions", a quality education, or anything else you want to blame on illegals.

"They" use the lower class (buying votes and warm bodies with tax base subsidies); propagandized middle class college graduates; the moneyed, Swiss bank account liberals who hypocritically dodge taxes through loopholes favoring themselves while pushing for more taxes on the middle class to fund "progressive" socialism.

All we have is a shrinking middle class to work with, many of them aren't sure which way to turn, others are just comfortable enough to wait to see whichever way the wind turns - hoping it doesn't turn on themselves.

We have to reach those people.

Davi is working extremely hard on the local level concerning illegal imigration and the ills which come with it, and there also needs to be a focus on the national level in order to help Davi prosecute the cause. The 2014 elections needs to bring a majority to congress which can over ride presidential vetoes and put an end to the current abuse of the executive order privilege and 2016 a president who will put the California legislature, Jerry Brown, and Kamala Harris in their places concerning illegal migration and other other far left crap which finds itself being voted into state law in the dead of night with no legislative debate or public transparency.

Again, and respectfully, what are you going to do to personally bring this about?

Merely complaining about illegal immigration; petty name calling like "jalapeno suckers" or "cockroaches"; and focusing on race as though race is an indication of illegality isn't going to do it.
