It started with in-state tuition. Then came driver's licenses, new rules designed to limit deportations and state-funded healthcare for children. And on Monday, in a gesture heavy with symbolism, came a new law to erase the word "alien" from California's labor code.
Together, these piecemeal measures have taken on a significance greater than their individual parts — a fundamental shift in the relationship between California and its residents who live in the country illegally. The various benefits, rights and protections add up to something experts liken to a kind of California citizenship.
The changes have occurred with relatively little political rancor, which is all the more remarkable given the heated national debate about illegal immigration that has been inflamed by GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump.
"We've passed the Rubicon here," said Mike Madrid, a Republican strategist. "This is not an academic debate on the U.S. Senate floor about legal and illegal and how high you want to build the wall.... [The state] doesn't have the luxury of being ideological.... The undocumented are not going anywhere."

Insanity!
Maybe they will all move there..
Viva La Reconquista!!! AYY yiii yii..
Gee. Thanks.
How many additional seats in the House (and electoral votes) do they get for the illegals?
Other than a plane change in SF I am proud to say I have never set foot in California-——although seeing the goodies available to those sneaking across the border I’m tempted to sneak in myself.

What percentage of CA’s legislature is Latino?
If your goal is to REPLACE the voter base, then this makes sense.
It’s also behind the movement for a $15 minimum wage —instead of getting in one hour what they’d make in Mexico for a full day of work, instead it’ll be for TWO days of work.
AND they have all these special free Mexican Clinica places for them if they get sick.
They don’t like the way we vote so our leaders have decided to get all new voters —we’ll be trash, or something.
Well then let California pay them out of THEIR taxes, and give them food from their FOOD STORES....
The Federal Government (which are the voters of this country) are tired of supporting their butts....
Illegal aliens just 4 you Jerry!
Look up CA Prop 187.
The government declared that big election win illegal and they burned the ballots. The results of that can now be seen coast to coast.
Since then the intrusive controlling monster has doubled in size and scope.
De Blasio on the East Coast, Brown on the West Coast. Both traitors to their country, and their RACE.
Trial run for imposition on entire nation.
The liberals have been trying to think up ways to destroy western civilization for years and now they’ve figured out the way to do it. Demographic suicide.
.....new rules designed to limit deportations....
PING
Time to take a star off the flag. 49 states. Or using Barry math, 56.
Stick a fork in Kalifornia, they’re done.
They were done back in 1987 for me.
