California State Senate President Pro Tem Kevin De Léon (D-Los Angeles) is quite a piece of work. He introduced a bill into the California State Senate that would make California a sanctuary state. He is the author of the bill:
SB54, authored by Senate pro Tem Kevin De Léon (D-Los Angeles) and Sen. Richard Pan (D-Sacramento), is scheduled to be heard in the State Senate’s Public Safety Committee this morning.
According to Senator De Léon’s website, SB54 (along with two other bills designed to provide state funds for legal defense for anyone ordered deported) is to be known as “Protecting California’s People and Prosperity Against Immigration Enforcement Overreach.” De Leon has ordered these measures “to prevent the use of state and local resources, including personnel, for immigration enforcement; and the creation of a federal registry” fast-tracked, meaning the normal schedule of hearings that can take weeks will be compressed into less than a week.
De Léon is worried that Donald Trump might deport those illegals guilty of identity theft and fraud.You know, crimes that would put you and me in jal:
“Someone simply who received or purchased a [fraudulent] Social Security card down at McArthur Park, or elsewhere in my district would be eligible immediately for mass deportation,” De Léon said (at 11:45 in the link above).
“He’s trying to deputize police officers — and with the suspicion of someone being a criminal or having a broken taillight, that they themselves, as a local police officer, could call the ICE agents immediately and have that person deported without even legal due process.”
Host Larry Mantle asked him: “… First of all, I just — I want to make sure I understand correctly: You don’t think purchasing a phony Social Security card and number should be a deportable offense?”
De Léon replied: “I don’t think so … the vast majority of immigrants — hard working immigrants — have done that. I can tell you I have family members specifically who came here as undocumented immigrants, and they did the same thing. That’s what you need to do to survive in this economy.”
Mantle objected: “But of course the problem is, — and I know people too — who’ve had their Social Security numbers and identities stolen as a result of that….”
This is outrageous. Thing is, De Léon is highly motivated to ram this bill through. Half of his family is comprised of illegal aliens and they have violated the law:
Testifying before the Senate Public Safety Committee, De Léon defended the widespread practice by illegal aliens of using fraudulent documents to work and obtain taxpayer-paid benefits, dismissing any concerns California citizens may have about being the target of identity theft.
The law takes back to family with this legislator. His words:
… I can tell you half of my family would be eligible for deportation under [President Donald Trump’s] executive order, because if they got a false Social Security card, if they got a false identification, if they got a false driver’s license prior to us passing AB60, if they got a false green card, and anyone who has family members, you know, who are undocumented knows that almost entirely everybody has secured some sort of false identification. That’s what you need to survive, to work. They are eligible for massive deportation.
This is state sponsored and state endorsed crime- fraud and identity theft. Now I presume this doofus took the oath of office upon entering the legislature so let’s have a look at that oath. First, the prelude:
If you are a public servant in the State of California or any city, town, county or municipality thereof and are not abiding by your oath of office, you are operating outside the law. At least two generations of political and social pressures have urged disregard of certain of your most important legal duties, and the time has come to say enough is enough. Below are Federal and state laws and statutes by which you MUST abide.
And the oath itself?
Article 20, Section 3
CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION
ARTICLE 20 MISCELLANEOUS SUBJECTSSEC. 3. (requirement stated above)
“I, ______, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of California against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of California; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties upon which I am about to enter.
“And I do further swear (or affirm) that I do not advocate, nor am I a member of any party or organization, political or otherwise, that now advocates the overthrow of the Government of the United States or of the State of California by force or violence or other unlawful means; that within the five years immediately preceding the taking of this oath (or affirmation) I have not been a member of any party or organization, political or otherwise, that advocated the overthrow of the Government of the United States or of the State of California by force or violence or other unlawful means except as follows: ________________________________________________________________
(If no affiliations, write in the words “No Exceptions”) and that during such time as I hold the office of ______________ ________________________________ I will not advocate nor become (name of office) a member of any party or organization, political or otherwise, that advocates the overthrow of the Government of the United States or of the State of California by force or violence or other unlawful means.”
I cracked up when I first read it.
…that within the five years immediately preceding the taking of this oath (or affirmation) I have not been a member of any party or organization, political or otherwise, that advocated the overthrow of the Government of the United States or of the State of California by force or violence or other unlawful means except as follows:
After a five year hiatus it’s OK to have tried to overthrow the government.
This begs many questions. Is there such a thing as “law” in California at all? Does the law apply to illegals at all?
“Someone simply who received or purchased a [fraudulent] Social Security card down at McArthur Park, or elsewhere in my district would be eligible immediately for mass deportation,”
Someone who simply got a fraudulent Social Security card? Simply?
And really- why are illegals allowed to commit fraud to collect taxpayer-paid benefits?
What laws are American citizens in California free to violate? How about a fake passport? How about “simply receiving” ten social security cards to collect ten checks a month? How about nice fake driver’s license? How about driving without insurance?
It’s bad enough that we’re being invaded by people who have no respect for our laws and borders. It’s outrageous that these invaders are allowed to freely flaunt our laws.If illegals do not have to observe the law, why do we have to observe the law? Why do illegals have more rights than US citizens?
