On October 5 Governor Jerry Brown signed into effect 8 new laws benefitting illegal aliens. "While Washington waffles on immigration California's forging ahead," Brown said in a statement. "I'm not waiting." Among the bills signed are:
Having provided illegals with drivers licenses, in-state tuition, licenses to practice law, benefits, and sanctuary among other things there will soon be nothing left to give them. Governor Brown also signed the TRUST Act, a law which prohibits police from handing over illegal immigrants to federal authorities for possible deportation unless guilty of a serious crime. The problem is it leaves them exempt of other smaller crimes, many of which endanger public safety. Assemblyman Tim Donnelly said, "We're not just talking about littering. We're talking about drunk driving and domestic violence."
More and more in the last few years California has continued to blur the line between legals and illegals. This includes the ability to criminally charge an employer who threatens to report an individuals immigration status if that threat is used to "induce fear." Given that it is against the law for employers to hire illegals Brown has essentially given illegals power to threaten their employers. While I concede that Jerry Brown and his fellow Left-Wing advisors have positive intentions with their efforts they are ill-advised. What they've accomplished is sending out a message to the world that if you come to California illegally you'll get free documentation, free rights, and free protection.
- AB 35 — Makes DACA recipients eligible for unemployment compensation benefits and state-issued ID cards.
- AB 524 — Provides that a threat to report the immigration status or suspected immigration status of an individual or the individual's family constitutes extortion.
- AB 1024 — Makes illegal aliens eligible to obtain a license to practice law in the state.

- SB 666 — Provides for a suspension or revocation of an employer's business license for retaliation against employees and others on the basis of citizenship and immigration status, and establishes a civil penalty up to $10,000 per violation. SB 666 also makes it a cause for suspension or disbarment for any member of the State Bar to report or threaten to report the suspected immigration status of a witness or party to a civil or administrative action or his or her family member to a federal, state, or local agency because the witness or party exercises a right related to his or her employment.
