California became a “sanctuary state” on Thursday as Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation protecting illegal immigrants in defiance of the Trump administration.

The bill, approved by the state’s legislature last month, bars police from asking people about their immigration status or participating in federal immigration enforcement activities in most cases starting Jan. 1.

California is home to an estimated 2.3 million illegal immigrants.

In a written statement, Brown stressed that the law would not prohibit federal immigration officials from doing their jobs and would allow sheriffs to grant federal agents access to jails. But he said it prevents the “commandeering of local officials” to do immigration work.

“These are uncertain times for undocumented Californians and their families, and this bill strikes a balance that will protect public safety, while bringing a measure of comfort to those families who are now living in fear everyday,” Brown said.

Leftist Emperor Brown continues his destruction of California. Gangs, crime, criminals, illegals, you name it, will proliferate beyond the obscene levels they are already at. This is ALL ABOUT VOTES AND POWER --- DemocRAT power. What a crock of illegal, law breaking crap.

Disease ridden poop covered sanctuary full of miscreants.

Defies the law.

Brown defies the law.

[SpaceBar]

All travel from California to the U.S. should be subject to immigration and customs checkpoints and passport control. They have declared themselves lawless, so treat them as such.

Jerry Brown is a mental moonbeam and he should be arrested for the blatant violations of the US Constitution he's committed over the years. So too, should the entire group of California Attorney's General going back to the time just after Reagan left the governorship. Traitors one and all.

Moonbeam needed to take care of CA. citizens before he red carpeted the whole state for more undocumented medical risks to not just CA but the entire nation.

Maybe THIS is what Trump’s latest, cryptic Tweet was about? Nuking CA, while they take the long way ‘round to NK?

*SNORT*

Enjoy governing WITH NO FEDERAL FUNDS, LOSER!

[knarf]

Perfect description.

[ArcadeQuarters]

They should become a sanctuary from federal spending.

All travel from California to the U.S. should be subject to immigration and customs checkpoints and passport control. They have declared themselves lawless, so treat them as such.

A very good point....

So does Brown think it’s OK for municipalities to refuse to issue marriage licenses for same-sex marriages? Can Texas decide to legalize fully automatic weapons for purchase by anybody? If you can defy one Federal law why not others?

[knarf]

Put up a wall along the kalifornicatia border and civilized America.

If the people of California do not get rid of Brown, the state is a lost cesspool of depravity and rebellion.

They want mexical ?

Watch for negotiations to open between Brown and little rocket boy.

[ExTexasRedhead]

Douchebag Brown did this without the people of California having any say in it.

Not everyone in CA is Liberal feces like Brown and his reprehensible feces RAT cohorts. Look at the vote in 2016 county by county. Every state has Liberal scumbags!

[Forward the Light Brigade]

Treason! Arrest Brown and the whole assembly —invade and occupy California. Rule California as an occupied territory.

[Stand W]

So is California now in open rebellion?

[drypowder]

When will this kind of crap lead to the arrests of the commie politicians who continue to saddle us with laws that put American citizen's lives and livelihoods in jeopardy strictly for the sake of the ILLEGAL aliens and criminals?Where's the compassion from the California politicians for the hard working legal citizens who keep getting bilked by these criminals in Sacramento? Oh yeah, narcissists don't care about their victims.

[bgill]

Yank all their fed dollars and built the wall up their east border.

I wish the Republican majority in Congress would actually do what they could do about cities and states declaring themselves “sanctuaries” for illegals-deny them all federal funding. But either they just don’t have the guts, or they’re complicit in this (which isn’t farfatched as almost all of them support full, no-strings amnesty).

But they have no problem with siccing the IRS on Joe Schmoe citizen (Sharpton still hasn’t ponied up).

There two groups who can transgress laws with impunity, illegals are one of them.

[punchamullah]

“undocumented Californians”?

[NorthMountain]

These are uncertain times for undocumented Californians and their families

They aren't Californians, Jerry, you ignorant slut, nor are they Americans. They're Mexicans, and they can resolve a lot of that uncertainty by hauling their sorry carcasses back to Mexico.
