Even More Jurisdictions Joining Anti-Sanctuary Movement In California

There are still lots of folks in California who haven’t been brainwashed into being pro-illegal immigration. And probably don’t need cheap labor to do the yard scaping

(SacBee) More local governments in California are resisting the state’s efforts to resist the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, and political experts see politics at play as Republicans try to fire up voters in a state where the GOP has grown weak.

Since the Jeff Sessions-led Department of Justice sued California last month over its so-called “sanctuary state” law limiting police collaboration with immigration agents, at least a dozen local governments have voted to either join or support the lawsuit or for resolutions opposing the state’s position. Those include the Board of Supervisors in Orange County, which has more than 3 million people.

More action is coming this week, with leaders in the Orange County city of Los Alamitos scheduled to vote Monday on a proposal for a local law to exempt the community of 12,000 from the state law. On Tuesday, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors is meeting to consider joining the Trump administration lawsuit.

Most of the resistance to California’s sanctuary state law is happening in Orange County, but, there are some cities from elsewhere in California. And it is expected to continue growing. There are actual Republican controlled areas of California, though a lot of them are in areas of California which do not generally have issues with illegal aliens.

I still maintain that the best thing the Trump administration could do would be to say that ICE will not go after illegal aliens in a few California cities, such as Los Angelos, San Francisco and the surrounding cities, and, most importantly, the capital city of Sacramento. Let Dems deal with all the problems that come from illegal immigration in the capital.
