Every week I think California has finally hit the bottom of the stupid barrel, but then they prove me wrong: http://dailycaller.com/2018/05...s-government-boards/ ---------------------------------- As California expands services to illegals residing in the state, legislation introduced Monday in the state legislature would allow them to sit on government boards and potentially collect pay for doing so. According to the Sacramento Bee, Democratic state Sen. Ricardo Lara’s bill would change the current law surrounding appointments to state and local boards to include anyone over the age of 18 — without considering whether the nominee is an American citizen. “California is stronger when we utilize talents of all our residents, and opening state and local boards and commissions to every Californian will allow us to better serve our diverse communities,” Lara said in a statement. “Undocumented Californians are our neighbors, co-workers and parents, and as lawmakers we can’t make good policy if their voices are left out of the discussion.” Lara said it might be possible to pay the illegal immigrants for their services. He noted that although illegal immigrants aren’t supposed to be collecting salaries under federal statutes, some could be be paid under the DACA program. The state senator has successfully moved other legislation in the past that sought to expand government services to illegal immigrants. He is also working on bill that would grant state medical coverage to illegals. But while the state continues to cater to its undocumented population and increasingly refuses to cooperate with federal immigration authorities, many municipalities are pushing back with local legislation that rejects California’s extreme support of sanctuary cities. | ||

California will be the death of the USA with these antics! California keeps threatening to succeed from the union, what can we do to help them get the hell out of here with their nonsense? I am so fed up with the politicians in California and other liberal, progressive democrat strong holds. I ask this many times, but why does half this country vote democrat? I just don't understand this insanity......... | |||

It already does. I think there was a lawyer put on some board a few months ago, an undocumented illegal lawyer, for crying out loud. I remember agonizing over resigning from the CA State Bar over this, and I still might. It probably doesn’t matter as I have been inactive for several years. I spend most of my time these days thinking about getting started on my new book, “The Power of Patient Procrastination.” It will be on Amazon.com if I ever get around to writing it. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

Sanctuary bull shit, 2A violations, the new law which stipulates California will arrest any citizen who cooperates with ICE... Is it incorrect of me to want Trump to put a stop to all of this crap? I mean, is it beyond his purview as head of the executive branch of the federal government? Of all the enemies the American citizen faces, the Democrat Party is the very worst. | |||

I actually agree with this. I think CA should mandate that every city council/school board have at least one MS-13 gang banger, one imprisoned felon, one child molester, one sidewalk pooper, one drug dealer and one drug addict who leaves dirty needles in the council chambers. How else will CA be truly diverse and assure everyone has a voice?  "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women. When it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it....While it lies there, it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it" - Judge Learned Hand, May 1944 | |||
