Why not? If we are not going to enforce immigration law, the other laws don’t matter either

As usual, a reading of the story reveals more than your snippet:

"Garcia, who passed the bar exam, was brought to the United States when he was 17 months old by his parents. They left to return to their native Mexico when Garcia was eight or nine, only to return to the United States again when he was 17.

His father was a U.S. permanent resident at the time, and later became a citizen. In 1994, he filed a petition for his son to be granted an immigrant visa. Approved in 1995, Garcia has been waiting 17 years for a visa that will allow him to become a lawful permanent resident and, eventually, a citizen."

and

"Garcia has already won support from state Attorney General Kamala Harris, who wrote an amicus brief to the state Supreme Court urging that he be admitted to the bar and describing him as "a model of the self-reliant and self-sufficient immigrant.""

The Justice Department is going to submit a brief stating its view.

"Mulling" does not, of course, equate ruling in this young mans favor. I imagine that if the California Supreme Court rules in his favor, it would be a very narrow ruling. It is not like some ******* can cross the river and demand a law license.

With Obama's amnesty it shouldn't be a problem.
We have an open border policy only the laws keep getting in the way here.
Pelosi just asked the DHS to make special consideration for gay illegals regardless of age.
