  • Initiative would let illegal immigrants work in Calif. legally

    I don't know how much of a chance this proposed legislation has but I support it for two reasons.

    1. It will show the entire country what happens when you grant amnesty to illegal aliens. I believe it will show just how much of a failure it is.

    2. Every illegal alien in the rest of the country will at least consider moving to California.

    A win for Texas.



    SACRAMENTO, Calif.-Nearly 1 million undocumented immigrants could live and work openly in California with little or no fear of deportation under an initiative unveiled Friday by a state legislator and others.

    Assemblyman Felipe Fuentes, a Democrat, is helping spearhead the measure, called the California Opportunity and Prosperity Act.

    The proposal was filed Friday with the state Attorney General's Office, marking a first step toward a drive to collect the 504,760 voter signatures needed to qualify for the ballot.

    Fuentes called the measure a "moderate, common-sense approach" necessitated by the federal government's inability to pass comprehensive immigration reform.

    "I hope this shows Washington, D.C., that if they fail to act, California will take the lead on this critical issue," Fuentes said in a written statement.

    Supporters say the initiative could generate up to $325 million in new tax revenue from undocumented workers that could assist education, public safety and other state programs.

    Regardless whether Californians would support such a measure, implementation would depend upon the federal government agreeing not to prosecute participants.

    Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, a Republican, blasted the proposal as an attempt to sidestep immigration law. He predicted that it wouldn't have a "snowball's chance in hell" of winning voter approval.

    "There's a proper process for coming to this country," Donnelly said. "Why don't you respect that?"

    The proposed initiative would apply to illegal immigrants who have lived in California for four years, have no felony convictions, are not suspected terrorists, pay a fee to administer the program, and can speak English or are learning it.

    My one concern with this is that California WILL declare bankruptcy, and you and I and every other American will bail them out through taxation. California is already well on the way to ruination, and this would just speed it up. Barry will NOT let the left coast go under...too many voters.

      Couple that initiative with this one and you can pretty much stick a fork in us. We will soon not have to even bother with faking the democratic vote.

      It's really impressive how fast these changes are taking place. And Vert, you are as right as can be on that. It will happen. What we are seeing right now is akin to a regular guy running the credit cards up to their limits before filing...


      'Immigrant-rights groups and liberal members of Congress have called on the Obama administration to halt deportations until a broad new immigration law can be passed to legalize most illegal immigrants.

      President Obama has said he doesn’t have the authority to halt all deportations, but earlier this year the administration issued new guidance telling immigration authorities and federal prosecutors not to pursue cases against rank-and-file illegal immigrants who don’t have long criminal records or repeated immigration law violations.'

          ...

          All these bitches that are pro illegal trash squeal like stuck pigs anytime a city or state tries to enforces our immigration laws. Yet, they think it's okay to make their own laws in favor of illegal trash factories. Once again, fuck them. This is exactly why I don't want liberals and pro immigrants (nice word for ....) being voted into office. You can easily see what they are doing.

          In a few years, our country will be like other poor countries. The rich and powerful will do what they want, while the rest of us fight for scraps (like jobs, resources, heathcare, etc). You won't be able to find a decent job. If you want to run your own business, you will be so financially raped by all of the regulations and red tape that it won't be worh the effort. Face it, we are becoming slaves to our govt and wealthy people. The only way out it to exterminate them all and start over.
