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.
Fake isfake and those are federal crimes of forgery
Good.
Where do we send the bus?
Looks like they’ll have some extra tostadas at his house come Thanksgiving.
misprison of a felony is a crime too.
I think they all ought to be allowed to stay... IF they all pay back taxes from the day they showed up here and stuck their noses in the public trough!! :)
I saw the headline and thought this was about McConnel.
Thanks for the tip.
Let the deportations begin
We don’t need any of the man’s family, especially those subject to deportation
So he admits that publicly.
Arrest the whole bunch of them and deport them all, including him for covering up known crime.
It's called aiding and abetting.
And?
Then?
Well....bye
Isn’t this just about the LAST thing one with a milidram of common sense would say?
I will bet the next cookout at his house will be interesting now that he has OUTED half his family.
It was brought up before and should be brought up by President Trump.
Why not just shut down ALL the CUSTOMS checkpoints that force Americans to prove they are Americans when they arrive at a Port or Airport.
PDJT should casually mentioning closing down ALL those facilities and the ‘jobs’ that go with them.
No need harassing people who are arriving here legimately when all one has to do is walk across the Southern border
Well, the sooner we get started ...
Illegal alien invaders are criminals who have, at least, broken federal immigration laws. Likely, there are a myriad of other laws they have broken. KICK THEM OUT! Seize their ill-gotten assets to help defer the costs. What bums...what liars...what pathetic criminals.

Mitch, has your wife ever insulted the President, her way of life in this country or America and its culture?
If so, maybe we should know about it.
“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”
The interlopers have to go. All of them. Send ICE at 3:00AM to round them up. Do it tonight.
Identity theft and illegal invasion of our country are both serious crimes. Deport these criminals. All of them - no exceptions.
