In the aftermath of the passage of legislation aimed at limiting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in California, the state has released rules employers must follow or risk fines of up to $10,000 per offense.
The Immigrant Worker Protection Act prohibits employers from voluntarily granting ICE agents access to private areas of worksites or to employee records. If ICE agents have a judicial warrant or subpoena for the records, however, the state law allows employers to grant them access, according to guidelines released by California Attorney General Xavier Becerra.
Under the new state law, employers must also notify employees of record inspections that federal immigration agents are conducting within 72 hours of receiving a notice of inspection. Likewise, employers are prohibited from reverifying workers’ employment eligibility at a time or in a manner that is not required by federal immigration law.
Employers can be fined up to $10,000 for not complying with eligibility reverification provision. Violations of other provisions of the law can result in fines of $2,000 to $5,000 for the first offense and $5,000 to $10,000 for subsequent offenses.
“The advisory and guidance released today are important tools to help workers and employers feel more secure, by educating them about their rights and responsibilities under the law,” Becerra said in a statement. “Everyone has an obligation to follow the law, whether it’s the Constitution, federal or state law. AB 450 works in concert, not in conflict, with our Constitution and federal laws.”
Assemblyman David Chiu (D-San Francisco), the author of the legislation, also released a statement on the new rules.
“No one should have to go to work every day scared of the threat of deportation,” Chiu said. “AB 450 was meant to not only give protections to California workers but also to ensure employers know what to do if immigration officials visit their workplaces.”
Looks like an opportunity for the red state illegals to immigrate to Kalifornica before they are caught and deported by ICE. Kalifornica has declared it’s a sanctuary state from the federal laws so why should the rest of the illegals hang around and get deported when they can legally hide in Kalifornica.
Speaking of Sessions, he appears to have a lower energy level than Jeb Bush. He’s playing possum or he’s really dead. President Trump needs to poke him and see if he moves.
Question: If too many illegals immigrate to Kalifornica, will the state tip over or sink into the Pacific ocean?
Answer: I’ll leave that question to the distinguished congress person (from New York I believe) who warned us about the Pacific island falling over the ocean. He can explain the dire consequences Kalifornica faces if they take in more refugees than the state can support.
Fed laws trump state laws. The libs have lost power in the Fed and are now pushing there agenda via the states.
Obeying the law is against.
And
The Constitution is unconstitutional.
I sure hope they also fine liquor stores for asking for IDs, and gun shops for doing background checks.
Lord, I think I must have passed through some portal to another America in a different reality. Please, Lord, let me go back to my original America, where parents stay married, women are feminine the pledge is said daily in school.
And you know what happened in Alabama. Bring it on.
Maybe a petition with enough signatures could be presented to congress to pass law not to accept CA votes in Presidential election, unless illegals are NOT allowed to vote? Require Voter ID.
Works for me; the State of California passes laws all the time that I just IGNORE.
If the law is stupid or anti-freedom I just ignore it and do what I please.
Yep.... On your exit from reality to the celestial neverland known as California, one of the key turns to the Always-Left solution was the change to the voting laws allowing only the top two voter-getters to be on the ballot.
Ergo, the choices are reduced to Lefty #1 and Lefty #2.
The loons in Sacramento have created political hell on earth.
Time for the GREAT STATE OF JEFFERSON!
Such a beautiful state, ruined by proggies. So sad, but predictable.

Let's start with the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution:
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."
So, California is attempting to stop United States citizens from cooperating with their own federal government. This should make for an interesting case in the FEDERAL COURTS.
