As promised, Assemblyman Tim Donnelly’s first official act as a state lawmaker was to introduce a stiff new immigration bill.
Donnelly, a Republican from Twin Peaks, introduced Assembly Bill 26 on Monday after being sworn in on the Assembly floor.
The legislation, if approved – which is more than a long shot in the Democratic-controlled Legislature – would penalize employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants and give a life prison sentence to anyone convicted of trafficking in illegal immigrants for sexual slavery.
Donnelly’s office said the bill is similar to a controversial immigration law approved in Arizona this year.
The text of the bill was not available Monday.
“A.B. 26 will end sanctuary cities by enabling citizens to sue the government if a city operates as a sanctuary for illegal aliens,” Donnelly said in a statement. “Our state needs to be a sanctuary for legal residents and the citizens of California.”

Go, Tim go!
GO TIM GO!!?? Donnelly’s racist bill won’t make it out of Committee. Way to go Republicans!! Become a non-viable force in California politics. Donnelly is a loser!!
Wow, does this mean now that he submitted this bill he’s done with his work as an Assemblyman? I’d like to see how closely this matches Arizona’s bill. I’ll be praying for Donnelly that he does this one justice as he’s been touting during his campaigning. I didn’t vote for you, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t want you to prove me wrong that you aren’t just another RINO.
