For the first time in California's history, the state has appointed an undocumented resident to a statewide post, announcing the decision just a day after President Donald Trump attacked its immigration approach during a visit to San Diego.

The decision made by the Senate Rules Committee on Wednesday saw Lizbeth Mateo, a 33-year-old attorney and immigrant rights activist, appointed to serve on a committee that helps increase college access for students from low-income or underserved communities.

In announcing the decision, Senate President pro tempore Kevin de León appeared to recognize the move as an act of defiance in the face of the Trump administration's current immigration crackdown.

ARREST HER, PUT HER IN JAIL AND D E P O R T HER ASAP!

So now the GOVERNMENT of California ITSELF is openly employing an illegal alien.

ICE can demand that the state produce an I-9 employment eligibility form. If they fail to produce it the state will be subject to a large fine for 'Knowingly' hiring an unauthorized alien.

Its not like they can plead ignorance.

I was just at the local JC in CA and they have scholarships for dreamers. They charge service members out of state tuition but have in state tuition and scholarship funds for illegals

How do you get to become a lawyer, take a bar exam, and be licensed to practice law in the U.S. if you're not a U.S. citizen?

Oath taken by all attorneys before they can practice law in California:

“I solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of California, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of an attorney and counselor at law to the best of my knowledge and ability. As an officer of the court, I will strive to conduct myself at all times with dignity, courtesy, and integrity.”

How can you practice law in this country is you are guilty of breaking the Federal laws of this country?

It's a she:

"Lizbeth Mateo is an organizer and recent law graduate born in Oaxaca, Mexico and raised in Los Angeles, California. Lizbeth was one of the first five undocumented youth to engage in civil disobedience and was part of the "Dream 9" from the "Bring them Home" campaign in 2013."

Further proof that self-hating liberals treat illegal squatters better than normal people.

There, fixed it…

[Political Junkie Too]

First Undocumented Immigrant... The attorney was born in Oaxaca, Mexico, and came to the U.S. with her parents when she was just 14 years old. She went on to develop a passion for law and became the first person in her family to graduate from college, receiving her degree from Santa Clara University law school in 2016 and passing the California bar last year...

This woman is actually EXTREMELY documented; it's just that she has no legal standing to be here.

It's fake news to call her "undocumented."

I’d like to offer Lizbeth Mateo to come and speak in FL soon.

Deport them all and let Mexico sort them out.

[SharpRightTurn]

Boot her out of the country.

For the first time in California's history, the state has appointed an undocumented resident CRIMINAL ALIEN to a statewide post...

Sometimes the truth hurts.

[Jonny7797]

Agreed.

Makes my blood boil.

I called de leon’s office and gave them a piece of my mind over this.

The woman who answered said “we have a different interpretation of what undocumented means and said I have to leave it at that goodbye.”

Unhinged.

[NFHale]

Arrest her, deport her, and arrest those who appointed her.

It’s time to kick their asses on this.

Gloves off.

[Squeako]

Dang, is Steve Harvey sending his old suits to Kenya?

[BeauBo]

This might help the arresting officers to identify her:
