Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda Solis will seek the support... to protect county residents from changes in federal immigration policy in light of President-elect Trump’s illegal immigration statements.... " we are standing with them and that we will do what we can to provide security and safety.”...
“... people have been very disturbed, very distraught, in particular our most vulnerable, our children,” Solis said. “Our young children who are thinking, `Mom, are you going to get deported because you’re not here legally and I was born here? What’s going to happen to me? What’s going to happen to us?”‘
Solis will ask that county staffers analyze all services provided to immigrants and how changes in federal funding could impact those programs. She’d also like to consider a permanent Office of Immigrant Affairs and wants to explore the county’s authority to prevent federal immigration enforcement at courts, schools and hospitals.
“I would hate to see us claw back some of the reforms that we made with law enforcement as a result of getting rid of 287g (an agreement that had sheriff’s deputies enforcing immigration law) and also providing more of a buffer between ICE agents and their ability to come into our jails,”.[snip]
Under DACA, children brought to the US before age 16 can apply for work permits and live without the threat of deportation. The Center for American Progress estimated deporting DACA workers could create a $433.4 billion loss in national GDP over a decade.....
Obama took executive action to expand DACA for parents - the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents. Those moves have been blocked by lawsuits that went as far as the U.S. Supreme Court, a 4-4 vote sent the matter back to the lower court. Trump has promised to terminate both programs.

I don't think most of them hate us, at least not in my area. Maybe down in the parts we won from them fair and square in the 1800s...
The children born here of illegals are U.S. citizens by our own law
that is policy not yet decided by our supreme court...
I’d be saying, “Mom, why did you come in illegally. Now you have us in danger.”
respectfully disagree - I spend a heck of a lot of time in California. Grew up here, plenty of school friends still here.
California is very different than the rest of the country. So much different that it might as well be a foreign country. Its too foreign to revert back to the old days, even Orange County is extreme liberal these days.
As long as California remains part of the Union, there will always be a huge tension between the sensibilities of the rest of the country and California. Let them go, and the rest of the country will be able to choose its own path with consensus
Cal is 49 parts other states refugees, 25 parts Mexicans, 22 parts asian, and the rest alive Calies.
