No mention that this would put any California employers [who employ illegals under this plan] in direct violation of the Immigration Reform and Control Act [IRCA] of 1986.

This is the law that ICE uses when it raids slaughter houses, etc. that employ illegals ...

This doesn’t change federal at all of course.

Why not just re-join Mexico, that way they wouldn’t be illegal aliens?

Yep, California’s law would directly conflict with federal law. Pennsylvania v. Nelson, 1957.

The preemption doctrine derives from the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution which states that the “Constitution and the laws of the United States...shall be the supreme law of the land...anything in the constitutions or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.” This means of course, that any federal law—even a regulation of a federal agency—trumps any conflicting state law.

But when has upholding the law ever been a concern of the 9th circus or Obama administration when there is political hay to be made?

Maybe this would be enough incentive to get all the illegals to move from all the other states to California. If so, works for me!

called the California Opportunity and Prosperity Act.

How about just calling it the Magnet Act?

“Assemblyman Felipe Fuentes, a Democrat”

Just another illegal alien from a past generation who “moved on up” from his Green Card to the legislature, working like the termite that he is to “make a place” for the rest of his “kind.”

California cannot overturn federal law. Of course, the real problem is that the federal laws are rarely enforced.
