Capitol Alert
The latest on California politics and government
May 26, 2011
After a heated and partisan debate, the state Assembly voted Thursday to cancel and then modify an agreement with the federal government under which fingerprints of arrestees are checked for their immigration status.
The author of Assembly Bill 1081, San Francisco Democrat Tom Ammiano, said that the program, called Secure Communities, leads to racial profiling and results in deportation of illegal immigrants who may be innocent of crimes or have committed only minor offenses. “S-Comm is a farce,” Ammiano declared.
Democrats lined up behind Ammiano, while Republicans denounced his bill as one that would allow counties to become sanctuaries for illegal immigrant criminals.
“Shame on San Francisco,” Twin Peaks Republican Tim Donnelly declared during the debate, citing its controversial policy of not cooperating with immigration officials. “There is no shame in protecting people,” Ammiano snapped back later.

Why doesn’t the federal government sue California for violating federal law and stop suing Arizona for trying to enforce federal law.
Very simple. All the kids of illegal aliens from the 80′s are now legislators. They are going to do everything in their power to legalize all illegal aliens so they can basicallly take over the state. Thats whats behind DREAM act, free college tuition, free Calif. welfare programs, etc etc. Its Worthless Joe Baca all over gain. The illegal alien lobby is nothing more than becoming Mexico City with their Mexico style local corruption (look at Bell, Cudahy,all those LA county Mexican towns where corruption flourishres.)
THats WHY Calif. is pro alien.
