With the new year comes new insane laws from California, making it officially America's Sanctuary State -- treating illegal aliens who broke the law to enter the U.S. as well as law-abiding citizens, protecting illegals from deportation, and putting public safety at grave risk.
In October, California Gov. Jerry Brown (D), signed eight bills handing special rights to illegal aliens. The controversial legislation includes allowing illegal alien obtain driver's licenses, preventing employers from denying jobs based on "immigration status", and barring state and local law enforcement from detaining illegal aliens when directed by ICE, DHS or Border Patrol. The legislation claims that this latter restriction only involves illegals without "serious crimes or convictions," but critics quickly pointed out that this was blatantly false.
But without a doubt the most controversial of all the new laws which took effect on January 1 is AB-1024, which authorizes the state Supreme Court, which approves requests of those seeking to become lawyers in the state, to admit all qualified applicants as attorneys, including "an applicant who is not lawfully present in the United States" -- illegal aliens.
The California Supreme Court wasted no time today in ruling that one plaintiff, Sergio C. Garcia, who entered the U.S. illegally at age 17, should be granted his law license, due to AB-1024's passage.
One critic pointed out the obscene hypocrisy in this decision:
"He can't say he is going to fulfill his duties as an attorney when one of those duties is to uphold all federal laws, when he's here illegally," Larry DeSha, a former prosecutor with the State Bar of California, told NPR. "And no one can administer the oath to him knowing he's going to be illegal the minute he puts his hand down. And the other thing is clients can't pay him money. And any client who finds out that he is illegal has to fire him under federal law."
Despite the controversy of AB-1024, the worst of all laws now in effect in California is by far AB-4 -- the Orwellian-titled "TRUST Act". AB 4 takes the unprecedented step of banning California law enforcement from honoring most requests from federal immigration authorities to hold criminal aliens.

And everyone spoke English and were expected to do so, and our borders and sovereignty were secure...
I could go on, but you get it.
There will be those who will attempt to assign all blame to CA...But the corruption starts at the top...This fish rots from the head.
If a state can block ICE enforcement, can it block ATF enforcement? The right seems to operating under a different set of rules.
No, if I understand correctly, this is an act of the Rat & RINO legislature and the Governor.
A case was being heard before the Supreme Court involving someone who wanted to be sworn in as a lawyer, but who is an illegal alien. Once the law passed and was signed and went inot effect on Jan.1, the CSC had no choice but to obey the law and swear him in.
Now, someone has to file suit against the State to overturn the law as unconsitutional. THEN the CSC can hear the issue on its merits.
To be honest, I have no idea about that.
And for the record it’s a shame so many coming north are exploited by big biz...They shouldn’t be coming up north illegally but the majority do so in an honorable manner, ie; work hard, respect law, get along bla bla....The beat goes on.
