Why Even Have a Border?
Making Sense
Placeholder Image
Why does California even bother to have a border? Why does the United States of America?In 2013 the governor of our one-party state, Jerry Brown, and the Democrats in Sacramento effectively turned California into a sanctuary state.They told Washington that if any of the illegal immigrants arrested here had not committed a serious crime they would not be turned over to federal immigration officials for deportation.Now the council of Santa Ana has voted to join more than 30 other California towns that have declared themselves sanctuary cities.Already L.A, San Francisco, San Diego and Oakland won’t cooperate with federal officials or spend any of their resources to look for people who are in the USA illegally.We’ll see how tough the politicians running these cities and places like Chicago are when the Trump administration starts cutting off their federal funding.Meanwhile, the state I love continues to be abused by the Progressive Gestapo (PG) in Sacramento that doesn’t care who gets hurts by their open-door immigration policies or their terrible regulations and nonstop tax hikes.The working-class Latinos who live here - the legal ones, the American citizens - and the working poor are the ones who’ll lose their jobs to the cheaper labor of illegal aliens. The state’s “Haves” - the Hollywood elites, Silicon Valley computer engineers and lifetime political hacks -- are not going to lose their jobs to an illegal immigrant from Mexico.
