California sanctuary state bill headed for approval - Sac Bee

Gov. Jerry Brown and Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de León struck a deal on California’s “sanctuary state” bill Monday after weeks of negotiations.

The bill was amended to expand law enforcement’s ability to cooperate with federal immigration authorities, reflecting a compromise between the two political leaders. Brown previously said he was seeking changes to the measure, casting doubts on whether he would sign an earlier and stronger version of the bill.

“This bill protects public safety and people who come to California to work hard and make this state a better place,” Brown said in a statement.

Interesting.

Republicans champion State's Rights and limited federal overreach, until they don't.

Honestly, both parties are hypocrites on this one.

Let's see how this plays out.

California’s poverty rate remains nation’s highest

One in five Californians lives in poverty, the highest rate in the country, according to new data from the U.S. Census Bureau.

The “Supplemental Poverty Measure,” factors in cost of living and shows a stubbornly high share of Golden State residents in poverty even as the national rate has dropped slightly.

Under the methodology, an estimated 20.4 percent of Californians lived below the poverty line in a three-year average of 2014, 2015 and 2016. That is virtually unchanged from the 20.6 percent average for 2013, 2014 and 2015, according to Tuesday’s release.

Nationwide, 14.7 percent of people lived in poverty under the supplemental measure during the latest three-year average. That is down slightly from 15.1 percent for the previous three years.

I know it's a pipe dream, but if the Constitution were just followed this wouldn't be an issue. But the Constitution only seems to be important if it fits the needs for a side's argument.

Considering we are the worlds 6th largest economy which includes the largest producer of agriculture, I'd say we give way more than we take in.


Calif. is listed as 46th on the list of states that contribute more than they leech. (the higher the # the less they leech). Mn. is #49----Delaware is #50

The constitution is open for interpretation.... by design.
I agree. But I Articles 1 thru 5 are specific with what each branch of government as well as federal vs states are given the powers to do. Our government hasn't been doing that correctly in a very long time. In this thread we are discussing immigration. Is it up to interpretation who is responsible to setting the guidelines?
