California...a "Sanctuary State"??? CA Senate committee approves TRUST Act in face of rising Secure Communities concerns

California...a "Sanctuary State"??? CA Senate committee approves TRUST Act in face of rising Secure Communities concerns (CA. Gov. Jerry Brown is a supporter of Secure Communities, and as state attorney general ratified the agreement with the federal government..WILL HE VETO???)The CA Senate Public Safety Committee approved Assemblymember Tom Ammiano’s TRUST Act, (AB 1081) today in a 5-2 vote, in face of rising concerns about a troubled federal fingerprinting and deportation program known as Secure Communities (S-Comm)...CA has deported the most illegal aliens under S-Comm. As of April 2011, CA had deported 41,833 individuals since it began phasing in its participation in S-Comm in May 2009 (sounds like a low figure to me?)

Losing California, and America? Jerry Brown has a choice...mandate Security Communities Program for ALL of CA

Losing California, and America? Jerry Brown has a choice...mandate Security Communities Program for ALL of CA...the open-borders Los Angeles Times is suggesting that Gov. Jerry Brown could refuse to cooperate with the Secure Communities program. We are facing the greatest threat to our union since the Civil War. If Brown refuses to cooperate with ICE, we will have taken another step toward the disillusionment of the United States of America.

CA: Dream Act bill AB131 could provide public funds for college to Illegal Aliens

CA: Dream Act bill AB131 could provide public funds for college to Illegal Aliens.... would let illegals apply for and receive state grants, university scholarships and fee waivers – the same aid offered to legal residents.. Because 12 of the 17 committee members are Democrats, proponents say they're confident the bill will pass and move to the full Assembly for a vote. It would then have to pass a Senate vote. Both bodies are Democratic-controlled. Gov. Jerry Brown said earlier he would sign the Dream Act if it comes to his desk

California Assembly passes 'card check' for agricultural workers

CA Assembly passes 'card check' for agricultural workers..measure, SB104, cleared the Assembly by a vote of 51-26 with Republicans opposed. It now goes to Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown, who has not yet announced whether he will sign it...the bill would let farmworkers bargain collectively if a majority of employees submit petition cards to the Agricultural Labor Relations Board...the bill was sponsored by the United Farm Workers. If Gov. Brown should sign the bill into law, then workers would be stripped of their right to have secret-ballot elections which have helped shield individual workers from the sort of intimidation and reprisals that have been eagerly embraced by aggressive union organizers

California Collapse Imminent? L.A. furloughs thousands as Brown tax faces voters

California Collapse Imminent? L.A. furloughs thousands as Brown tax faces voters...Looking at a $457-million shortfall, the mayor of Los Angeles said he would begin furloughing more than 6,000 city employees who refused to go along with a cost-cutting arrangement. At the state level, voters may well reject Gov. Brown's plan to raise taxes – forcing the state to issue IOUs to vendors within a couple of months..When people come into any country or new area and have little skill and/ or education, then of course the society will be impacted negatively."
