State Bar says let illegal immigrant practice law

An illegal immigrant who passes the bar exam and demonstrates good moral character should be eligible to practice law, the State Bar has declared in a court filing.

The bar, which oversees California's 225,000 lawyers, told the state Supreme Court on Monday that federal law leaves regulation of the legal profession largely up to the states and does not appear to prohibit Sergio C. Garcia, 35, of Chico from obtaining an attorney's license.

Garcia was 17 months old when his parents brought him to the United States from Mexico. He returned to Mexico with them at age 9, came back at 17, put himself through college and law school and passed the bar on his first try in 2009. He has been working as a paralegal.

His father, now a legal U.S. resident, sponsored Garcia's application for legal status and a green card in 1994. Garcia told an interviewer last year that he expects to wait another five to 15 years for approval.

In the meantime, the bar has certified his moral fitness to practice law, but the state's high court, which licenses attorneys in California, put his application on hold last month and said it would use the case to decide whether undocumented immigrants are eligible to practice law. A similar case is pending in Florida.

Breaking the law should null and void his moral character..not once but twice. Probably used a fake SSN to support himself through school. Another illegal sob story.

So many law breakers in this story I can’t count that high. How is he working now?

[Hacksaw]

More proof that lawyers have the ethics of crack dealers.

[dennisw]

More proof that lawyers are anarchists

The bar told the state Supreme Court "that federal law leaves regulation of the legal profession largely up to the states."

I need to make sure I understand properly . . . illegal for you, the citizenry . . . is not illegal for us, those responsible for assuring justice is meted

The powers that be will not be satisfied until they have completely “ Bakanized” our country. We used to be a country of American Citizens, we were in control of our borders and our immigration policies kept the influx of foreign under control.No more just walk in and make your self at home and start signing up of benefits

Well, Tom Hagen was part of a criminal conspiracy before HE became a lawyer.

[Doogle]

demonstrates good moral character should be eligible to practice law

..when lying on applications for the bar (Florida) kept him from getting his license there he took his moral character to CA where they overlook stuff, another part of his moral character exposed

He has been working as a paralegal.

So, umm, where is this illegal alien working? Oh, wait, he's doing the job that Americans won't do...

[Reagan69]

There are some laws I don’t want to obey, so I guess I won’t. It is just “the right thing to do” !

[SECURE AMERICA]

So breaking the law and being a criminal is now what is required to be a lawyer?
Oh right nothings changed............

[Right Wing Assault]

Baconized?

[Right Wing Assault]

He has been working as a paralegal.

In this case he would be a paraillegal.

Only in Califonia.

I guess he'll hang out his shingle using the same multiple identities he's been using to ride the US gravy train (/snix.)

+++How many forged/faked Social Security numbers does he have?

+++How many fake identities did he establish to collect US benefits?

+++How many fake identities did he use to take money under false pretenses?

+++Does he have a valid driver's license?

+++Did his father falsely claim him under different identities on IRS returns for EITC payouts?

+++ Under what phony names is he registered to vote?

REFERENCE----ICE's "documents and benefits fraud task force" found a common practice among "impoverished" illegals is to buy several forged/faked identities for several thousand dollars each----the illegal then votes and rides the US gravy train under several names.

<><> Jose Madrigal---the Washington state rapist--- had some 30 identities. And probably voted and collected US benefits under every single identity.

<><> Another illegal used multiple identites to bilk UI systems of some $3.5 million.

=========================================

US Dept of the Treasury Says Illegal Aliens Collecting Billions in Tax Credits According to the US Dept of Treasury’s Inspector General, more than $4.2 billion in additional child credits were paid out in 2010 to illegal immigrants. In 2005, the pay outs totaled $924 million. This program allows low income earners to claim a $1,000 per child credit.

$20 billion EITC is estimated to have been paid out to these cunning "impoverished" illegals. Most of them are collecting over and over again-----using multiple identities-----falsifying official apps---claiming children they do not have and/or falsely stating kids are back in their homelands.

REFERENCE March 8, 2012 KENNER, La. -- Kenner police arrested illegal Marvin Baca who sold false W-2 forms to another illegal immigrant for $1,500. Baca sold fraudulent W-2 forms for $1,500 to other Hispanics here illegally.

Police said that on one of the forged W-2 forms had a SS no of a person living in Virginia. Police said illegal Hispanics purchase fictitious W-2 forms and file false tax returns with the government to receive EITC refunds. Baca was charged with one count of ID theft and two counts of forgery.

=====================================

This is only one of many many exposes of document brokers operating allover the US.

July 21, 2006----NJ BERGEN RECORD---Pelcastre brothers, Angel and Jorge, Dallas, Texas, were a walking threat to US national security, expert document forgers who, for a few thousand dollars, could give anyone a new identity, NJ L/E authorities said. The Texas brothers were a "one-stop shop" for a myriad of fake US documents, including birth certificates, Social Security cards, driver's licenses----for any state in the US------ passports and resident alien cards, said state police.

The Texas brothers turned a NJ hotel room into a business office and were readying a massive cache of fake Social Security cards for delivery to a local NJ identity broker. Officers happened upon two cars bearing Texas plates in a NJ hotel parking lot. The Texas brothers were followed to a NJ office supply store nearby where they purchased computer supplies. Officers then followed the Texans to a NJ storage facility in Secaucus, NJ, where the Texans loaded several boxes into a car. One of them stood lookout.

After a search, police recovered laminating sheets with built-in security features, pages of blank documents waiting for fake names and information, finished documents, computers and software to create the fake IDs.

All told, the haul was worth about $500,000 on the street when sold to "impoverished illegals." Police also recovered $6,000 in cash, which was the first payment from a NJ fake document broker for a shipment of 500 phony Social Security cards.

If the "lawyer" ever promoted or participated in "Raza Studies," that should be grounds for immediate expulsion -----from the bar and from the US.

REPORT FROM ARIZONA "Raza Studies" surfaced in AZ achools---it is a virulent anti-America agenda, a bloodthirsty dream by illegals to kill off US citizens:

One Raza Studies textbook titled “Occupied America,” by Rodolfo Acuña, includes a violent and blood- curdling speech given by university professor Jose Angel Gutierrez: “We have got to eliminate the gringo, and what I mean by that is if the worst comes to the worst, we have got to kill him,” (pg. 323).

Taken directly from Occupied America (pg. 167): “Supporters would execute all white males over age 16,” (this is AKA the Plan of San Diego).

America- hating Raza Studies teach violence and undermining US ntl security----and preaches the need for Mexico to "re-take seven states in the Southwest...in order to make the SW a Chicano nation.

=====================================================

Adelita Grijalva is the woman on the Arizona school board pimping La Raza indoctrination study programs. in Tuscon schools.

America-hater Adelita is all up in arms about Raza Studies getting tossed via the AZ state legislature's action...Adelita is the daughter of Raul Grijalva (D-AZ-7) who was just narrowly re-elected to our US Congress.

Raul Grijalva is one of Mexico’s most productive and loyal representatives in our Congress....aiding and abetting building a Third World on US soil.

Mmmmmmm....those father daughter chats must be interesting.

=========================================

BTW, threatening to kill an America is a felony in the US----in Mexico it's a lottery winner (/snix).

[Mikey_1962]

I see problems for this guy even if he gets his license.

Grounds for reversal based on ineffective advice of counsel.

When we judge on emotion rather than reason and fact, the results are Chaos.

The Bar must apply the law as written not resort to emotional appeals.

[DH]

An illegal immigrant who passes the bar exam and demonstrates good moral character............

---

“Illegal” and “good moral character” in the same sentence?????

Is something not right here?

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Can he ignore any laws he wants in court too?

[opentalk]

This is on a path where illegals will be in judge positions, prosecutors, juries...
