Only a handful of states requires all employers to process all employees through e-Verify. California, and for that matter, Texas are not among them.
As I understand it, she is a registered dreamer who came to the US with her family in 2014. As such, she is legally able to work in the US. Thus far, Trump’s position on law abiding Dreamers has been benign.
In 2014, California began to allow qualified undocumented people to take the bar exam and if passed, practice law. She is a licensed attorney in the state.
Wait a minute. I thought dreamers were children brought here illegally by their parents. As in being a child a the time they were not culpable. She is 33. That would make her 29 when she came to the US with her family in 2014. Since when is 29 a child and free from culpability?
Lets hope ICE makes an example out of her. She needs to return to mexico and make it batter place .
For the first time in California's history, the state has appointed an undocumented resident to a statewide post, announcing the decision just a day after President Donald Trump attacked its immigration approach during a visit to San Diego.
The decision made by the Senate Rules Committee on Wednesday saw Lizbeth Mateo, a 33-year-old attorney and immigrant rights activist, appointed to serve on a committee that helps increase college access for students from low-income or under-served communities.
Does anybody ever read the articles posted in the OPs?
"The attorney was born in Oaxaca, Mexico, and came to the U.S. with her parents when she was just 14 years old. She went on to develop a passion for law and became the first person in her family to graduate from college, receiving her degree from Santa Clara University law school in 2016 and passing the California bar last year, according to her legal firm's website. She was officially sworn in by De León on June 29, 2017."
I should know the answer to this, but which amendment dictates how we handle undocumented (illegal) people via federal law. I'd like to read up on it before I comment further.

That is a Dreamer.
She developed a passion for law and yet she never followed the law to become legal after all this time?

? She did follow the law. It's not like you can just magically become a citizen by filing paperwork and get a passport at 18... She has a right to work in the US and that's it.
If educated, productive Dreamers like her would be allowed to naturalize, she probably won't get citizenship until she is in her 40s.

I guess you do have some comprehension. Based on current laws or policies she is here legally. Eventually if Dreamers are deemed illegal then she needs to leave. For now she is a productive member of the state of California.
There is a sizable group of people in America who believe that illegal immigration is a civil rights issue, and that even illegal aliens who commit crimes deserve the same rights as American citizens.
It doesn't matter what some nuts think, the law says otherwise.

Thanks in advance.
No amendment is needed, it's called LAW. Read up on it.
