LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — A Los Angeles lawmaker leading the fight to make California a so-called “sanctuary state” has suggested half of his family would be deported for using falsified Social Security cards and other fake identification.
California Senate Leader Kevin de Leon made the claims during testimony before the Senate’s Public Safety Committee for SB54, a bill introduced by De Leon that would create a statewide sanctuary for immigrants living in the country illegally.
Responding to President Trump’s suggestion of “withholding federal funding” from California, de Leon said: “Half of my family would be eligible for deportation under the executive order, because they got a false social security card, they got a false identification, they got a false driver’s license prior to us passing AB 60, they got a false green card, and anyone who has family members who are undocumented knows that almost entirely everybody has secured some sort of false identification.”
“That’s what you need to survive, to work,” he added. “They are eligible for massive deportation.”
Some reacted to the senator’s statement by calling for authorities to further investigate de Leon’s claims.
Kevin De Léon defended the widespread practice by illegal aliens of using fraudulent documents to work and obtain taxpayer-paid benefits.

In a statement released Monday, de Leon did not reference his comments to the Public Safety Committee, instead opting to criticize Trump’s reaction to SB54.
“President Trump’s threat to weaponize federal funding is not only unconstitutional but emblematic of the cruelty he seeks to impose on our most vulnerable communities. Taking such irresponsible action would hurt our senior citizens, children, farmers, and veterans – these are not political games, these are real lives the President is targeting”, said de Leon.
“using falsified Social Security cards and other fake identification. “
All that is illegal.
Falsified documents? Lock ‘em up!
Sounds like a RICO case. Clearly his family is full of felons conspiring together to break federal law....
We should add Kevin to the list.
Both parents were in the country illegally when he was born, supposedly in LA.
He’s not a citizen. He just makes laws for us.

And so they should be.
Heck, if they can get away with it, why should I not be able to get away with not paying the taxes the IRS claim I owe?
Bye Felicia(s)!
"Thanks, Kevin". - your family
You can not have two standards of law. The AG should resign and send moving vans to his family’s homes.. and just Move On!!!
:: they got a false social security card, they got a false identification, they got a false driver’s license prior to us passing AB 60, they got a false green card, and anyone who has family members who are undocumented knows that almost entirely everybody has secured some sort of false identification. ::
Are any of them bank robbers? They get a pass.
Are any of them multiple DUI offenders? They get a pass.
Are any of them child rapists? They get a pass.
California. What a country!

It only means that now is as good a time as any to deport half his family.
Well, the fake SS numbers and other fake ID kind of go with being here ILLEGALLY. Come here legally, get the bona fide documentation, and get to stay. So simple, even Kevin de Leon should be able to understand it.
Sounds like a Feature, not a Bug.
Pelosi’s dad was Sicilian Mafia and a Senator, so she still has a more criminal family than you, putz.
Tell ‘em to start packing Kev.
WTF?
Send them back. NOW.

So let me see if I get this straight:
This guy is lecturing me about how the law doesn’t and shouldn’t matter?
What a strange attitude from a *****LAWMAKER*****.
Why should we obey YOUR fruity, liberal laws?
You do realize that by KNOWINGLY AIDING lawbreakers makes you an ACCESSORY to their crimes right?
You elitist politicians LOVE to give pompous lectures about how it’s my duty as a citizen to not only know your laws, but to understand them too. When I’m dragged before you, I’m told “ignorance is not an excuse” for lawbreaking.
And yet, you’re OPENLY and HAPPILY violating the law.
How ironic is it that this PUNK relies on the HONEST, LAW ABIDING citizens taking him seriously to keep his cushy job?
Well, fine. Let’s get them outta here. Buh bye!
