Cal State Univ Chancellor Thumbs Nose at Immigration Laws

The Chancellor of the California State University 23 campus system (the largest public university in the world) issued a memorandum yesterday in which he thumbs his nose at federal immigration laws.

Here is the text of the actual Memo, which I received via email. I don't know if it exists out in the wild, so couldn't find a way to link to it:

The California State University Office of the Chancellor

February 22, 2017

M E M O R A N D U M

TO: The California State University Community

FROM: Timothy P. White, Chancellor

SUBJECT: New Developments Regarding Immigration

On February 21, 2017, Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly issued two memoranda to his department providing direction regarding implementation of President Trump's recent executive orders on increased border security and stricter enforcement of immigration laws.

While the memoranda deal with many immigration issues, they do not affect the existing Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy - which remains in full effect. DACA status is applicable to many, but not all of our students who lack immigration documentation.

Clearly, this emerging federal immigration policy is complex. At this time, the CSU is carefully examining these federal directives and reviewing their potential impact on CSU campuses.

We do not have information indicating that stepped up enforcement will focus on our campuses.

We do advise any member of our CSU community - students, faculty and staff - who is approached while on campus by federal, state or local officials asking for information or documentation regarding immigration status, to immediately contact the University Police Department. The University Police Department will act as a liaison with the on-site officials, and will coordinate with the Office of General Counsel to provide guidance, references and resources as available.

As I have emphasized in the past, the California State University is committed to being an inclusive and welcoming institution of higher education that is enhanced by our global community. As such, we will continue to make every lawful effort to provide a safe and welcoming campus environment for all of our students, faculty, staff, alumni and members of our community.

As I announced previously last summer, CSU's flexible systemwide set of policy guidelines are intended to remove the CSU from the enforcement of federal immigration laws. CSU's policy is that, unless otherwise required by law, we will not enter into agreements with law enforcement agencies for the purpose of enforcing federal immigration laws. Our university police departments will not honor immigration hold requests, and our university police will not contact, detain, question, or arrest individuals solely on the basis of being - or suspected of being - a person who lacks documentation. This important CSU policy has not changed and is not impacted by Secretary Kelly's memoranda, and these memoranda do not affect the policies or practice of the CSU and our university police departments.

We remain deeply committed to fulfilling the educational and public mission of the California State University in a safe and welcoming environment.

Why should we respect his position or property when he doesn’t respect anyone else’s?

He apparently thinks he’s the King of California State U and it’s his personal fiefdom to do what he wants.

Let’s occupy his campuses and declare them ours.

"Cal State Univ Chancellor Thumbs Nose at Immigration Laws..."

... Well .... Following his Logic ... I think the entire state of California should thumb their collective noses at the entire Cal State entrance requirements and demand that they accept students on a first come first served basis. To do otherwise would be discriminatory towards unqualified people ..... Right?

It’s about the money. No students no money. Right now illegals are a tax dollar gravy train.

The President of the United States should issue a budget tomorrow in which he thumbs his nose at the California State University 23 campus system. Zero out funding for colleges and universities that oppose the rule of law.

Arrest him on refusing to following federal laws and coercing others to do the same.

No student loans. No federal research grants. And increased oversight by the IRS, FCC, and OSHA.

(iii) knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, conceals, harbors, or shields from detection, or attempts to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, such alien in any place, including any building or any means of transportation;

Simple response: non-approval of any new student visas for California universities. None.

When did Timmy White get elected Dictator? Being able to define laws he will and will not accept must come in handy.

Suggest any/all Federal funding to Timmy’s school be ceased immediately. Suggest the board of yahoos governing the school take a moment to consider if Timmy should find employment elsewhere. Perhaps as a far left political activist - he could apply to CNN.

If immigration of all types isn't drastically reduced soon we are going to lose the country.

The out of control immigration into the USA is the largest example we have of the Cloward-Piven tactic of overloading government systems and/or programs.

We are overwhelmed by immigrants to the point they either run some local or state governments or have the government bending to their demands over the wishes of citizens. This is especially true in places like California, NY City, Minneapolis, etc.

And the Federal Government does the same. It caters to the wishes of immigrants and forces citizens to adapt to their demands rather than making it clear that immigrants need to conform to American culture.

Illegal immigration and rapid legal immigration have allowed new arrivals to overwhelm our legal citizen population and our culture.

In California we have the outlandish spectacle of the State Senate President Pro Tem, Kevin De Léon, stating that half of his family are illegals. Here is the exact quote:

“…I can tell you half of my family would be eligible for deportation under [President Donald Trump’s] executive order, because if they got a false Social Security card, if they got a false identification, if they got a false driver’s license prior to us passing AB60, if they got a false green card, and anyone who has family members, you know, who are undocumented knows that almost entirely everybody has secured some sort of false identification. That’s what you need to survive, to work. They are eligible for massive deportation.”

Illegal immigration should have been stopped back when congress promised Ronald Reagan they would do it in exchange for his approval of their amnesty bill.

But it was just another of their lies.

And the level of legal immigration is so high that the system is overloaded. Immigrants come here at a faster rate than they can assimilate and/or be absorbed.

If immigration of all kinds isn't reduced significantly other states will soon look like California where the criminal enablers are running the government.

And after that the next step is loss of our culture and our country.

Exactly correct. Colleges/Universities are all on the federal money gravy train...that’s why they’ve decreased standards, have useless majors, and want as many students as they can get, and why they vote for anyone who will feather their nest... ..more teachers, more services, job security and MONEY...
Cut off the funds, and make Mr. White personally responsible for anything anyone who he has protected from the law does that is illegal. He’ll be back in grade school.(probably as a student)

Democratic Governor [Malloy/CT] Tells Cops Not to Obey Trump Immigration Policy

**Malloy’s letter tells local law enforcement that they should not give ICE agents access to people in local custody for questioning, and should refer any such requests up to command. While the letter contends police should not “impede federal immigration activity,” Connecticut sure doesn’t want to make it easy for the feds to enforce Trump’s executive order. The letter notes that under federal law, local agents are not required to enforce immigration law, and they are encouraged not to help ICE whatsoever.**

**In addition to a letter to local law enforcement, the Connecticut governor also sent a letter to local school districts advising them on what to do if ICE agents turn up at schools. The letter emphasized that the U.S. Supreme Court has given children of undocumented children the right to obtain a public education.**

The Left Coast and the other left coast.
