CA Legislators look to build 'firewall' against Trump, fund lawyers for immigrants costing tens of millions (felons, law)

Yes and it's this kind of thinking that puts us in danger .

The stupid "no human is illegal" messaging from the left .

One example here but there are many others


No human being is illegal: It's time to drop the 'i-word' - Al Jazeera English

we need to know who these people are and get them out of our country.
They have NO right to be here .
There are bad people in this world and evil people and many exploit our generosity and country.

We need to take appropriate measures to protect ourselves physically and financially .

You guys still don't get it. This is how CA politics works. Public employees unions pay to get their politician elected. The politicians in turn pay them back by providing more public employee union jobs. The more of them the more they become politically powerful -- now to a point where they can get just about any tax measure passed.

Do you really think these pretend liberals care about anyone but themselves? The illegals are being used so they can collect more taxes and federal money. The drought is being used to collect more taxes. Fear of flooding is being used to collect more taxes. Fear of criminals is used to collect more taxes. Obamacare is being used to collect more federal money -- the more head count they can sign up, the more money they can collect.

Any unbiased observer would ask this: since CA politics has been dominated by pretentious liberals for decades, how are the poor, seniors, the illegals, the students, etc. (people they claim to serve) doing? Not so well.

This. End of discussion.

The USA isn't a democracy.

The irony is Trump is talking about enforcing the laws passed by congress and signed by previous president as is required of him by the constituion, but that means he is now "dismantling democracy"

Oh, please. That is such a stretch. Obama's executive orders can be undone with no treat to our system of government . Also, bills passed and laws enacted can be undone using the same process. It happens all the time and again, is no threat to the union.

Please stop rabble-rousing and fear-mongering.

I think you quoted the wrong post.

Why have laws if states can pick and choose which ones they will obey? Our Federal government should enforce ALL laws.

Now that the right wing will control the Feds, states rights are toast. Unless, of course, the states want to discriminate and punish women and minorities.
