The rule of
law should be a no-brainer: cities are for citizens. The very concept of
“politics” is based on the word “polis”, and that means “citizen”. “We the
People” in the U.S. Constitution refers to citizens, men and women who
recognize their rights, which come from God.
What’s one
way to take power away from “We the People”? Erode the meaning and privilege of
citizenship. And that’s what California’s Democratic Party is doing. Just
when I thought that the Democrats in California (and apparently Colorado, too)
had already gone too far, now they add another layer to the rampant perversity.
Kevin De
Leon, anchor baby turned State Senate President (whose family members are
illegals, relying on fraudulent documents to “survive”) is going to steal every
resource from California taxpayers to fund his illegal alien paradise. Who says
illegals are discriminated against? They are running the government of
California … into the ground! Two pieces of legislation are on the horizon. If
you’re not careful, they could be coming to a state near you.
Senate Bill
6 will transfer tax dollars to provide legal counsel to illegal aliens facing
contentious court hearings as they await deportation. Check this out: we have
spiking crime rates throughout the state of California. Even in my nice and
calm South Bay home, property crimes are rising, especially property crime.
Sandra Duran was just killed in a hit and run in the North Hills section of Los
Angeles by an illegal alien.
Illegal
immigration is not a victimless crime, and a sanctuary state will not guarantee
safety for anyone. Except, of course, the politicians who want to score
points with La Raza, LULAC, and other Hispandering special interest groups who
will keep their Brown Power puppets in power for as long as possible. This is
the essence of corruption: a set of laws for one group of people, and a set of
laws for everyone else. This is beyond shameful. This is beyond intolerable.
And once
again, immigration remains an untouchable third rail in California. Deal with
it, Republicans and Democrats alike. Stand up for the rule of law, dammit!
Governor Pete Wilson was right to champion Prop 187 in 1994. I wish he had
continued to champion that initiative. Even then, California was not a Lily
Wasp-like state. That means men and women of every color are all Americans and they
just want what’s best for their kids and their future.
Guess what?
70% of Californians oppose sanctuary cities, and that includes 60% of
Democrats! Even the registered Democratic voters—in California, mind you—are
waking up to how their own party is leaving them behind.
One would
think that the growing list of dead Californians would finally wake up the
voters to the dangers implicit in sanctuary cities. One life killed by an
illegal alien is one too many, but here are 8 lives lost forever:
- 1. Kate Steinle
- 2. Drew Rosenberg
- 3. Ruben Morfin
- 4. Jamiel Shaw Jr.
- 5. Dominic Durden
- 6. Marilyn Pharis
- 7. Tierra Stansberry
- 8. DeAndre Mitchell
California
was a not a sanctuary for these individuals.
Statistics
have outlined that at least 25 people a DAY are killed by illegal aliens in
this country.
California
Democrats want to turn the Golden State into a Sanctuary state? How about
deporting illegal aliens and putting Americans first? Here’s another great
idea: let law enforcement enforce our laws.
Yes, I know
this bid for sanity is a bit complicated for liberals, but the basic tenet of
any government is this: protect our rights. And the California Democratic
supermajority is not on board with even this, but rather protecting the privileges
of a well-connected minority of elitists and La Raza activists.
There is
hope, however. The Democrats cannot lose one vote in the state senate to
maintain their very slim supermajority. Three years ago, four state senators
were arrested, convicted, and/or sentenced for various felonies (voter fraud,
gun-running, whatever). Some current Democrat members are feeling the heat like
they never have before. I already visited my state assemblyman (a Democrat who
had voted against the misguided California (Mis)Trust Act of 2013).
But bigger
guns, literally and figuratively, have raised their voices against SB 54’s
collective immorality. In spite of a long list of proponents for this awful
bill, two key organizations have not compromised, but are fully opposed:
- California Peace Officers’ Association
- California State Sheriffs’ Association
The
opposition from these two groups was enough to stave off emergency passage.
Four
Southern California county sheriffs oppose SB 54, including the somewhat squishy
Jim McDonnell of Los Angeles. Why do I target the former police chief of Long
Beach? Yes, he’s my sheriff. More importantly, though, not even two months ago,
he was on record supporting the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors’
decision to provide legal aid to the county’s illegal alien population, and
McDonnell affirmed he had no intention in going after illegals living in LA
solely because of their immigration status.
But now he
opposes the entire state taking on LA County’s proposals. What gives? In his
view, preventing communication of any kind between ICE officials and state law
enforcement would lead to ICE officials sweeping through neighborhoods and
arrest more illegals, not just the violent ones in LA County jails.
Unbelievable!
I would like to believe that McDonnell really does care about enforcing our
immigration laws, and simply does not want the rising spike of various crimes
against Angelenos. Unlike LAPD Chief of Police Charlie Beck (who stands with
the illegals, rather than the legal residents) McDonnell is elected by the
people in the county. More deaths like Sandra
Duran’s might have cut his re-election chances in half.
No American
should allow this. Sanctuary cities are dangerous, racist, and outright wrong. I have
written before that California was
already a “sanctuary state”. SB 54 will make that designation
seriously official, cutting off all communication between state and federal law
enforcement regarding illegal aliens in California.
