This conservative lives on the coast.......divide the state in half (width-wise) just below L.A. SoCal has republicans and Hollywood would belong to Northern California.

Resisting Trump Immigration Stance, California Senate Passes ‘Sanctuary State’ Bill
The California Senate passed Senate Bill 54 on Monday, barring state and local law enforcement agencies from using their resources to help federal immigration authorities. Senate Bill 54, also known as the "sanctuary state" bill, passed the Senate in a 27-12 vote, CNN reported.
"Our precious local law enforcement resources will be squandered if police are pulled from their duties to arrest otherwise law-abiding maids, busboys, labors, mothers and fathers," Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de León, who authored the bill, said in a statement.
De León claimed the bill is "a rejection of President Trump's false and cynical portrayal of undocumented residents as a lawless community."
The "sanctuary state" bill prohibits state and local law enforcement agencies from using their resources to cooperate with the federal immigration authorities. Resources include money, facility, property, equipment or personnel from state and local law enforcement. According to CNN, "They would be prohibited from asking about immigration status, giving federal immigration authorities access to interview a person in custody or assisting them in immigration enforcement."

California may not require bail for most criminal suspects
Instead of requiring suspects to post bail, county officials would decide whether to release them based on their risk to public safety and would use jail alternatives like home detention or monitoring bracelets that track their locations.
When a judge decides monetary bail is needed for suspects accused of serious or violent crimes, the amount would be based on defendants' incomes instead of on a pre-determined bail schedule that varies in each of California's 58 counties.

California bill would blacklist contractors involved in U.S.-Mexico border wall project
SACRAMENTO — Contractors would have to choose between building a border wall between the U.S. and Mexico and doing business with California under a legislative proposal that advanced in the Senate Tuesday.
“This is precedent setting,” said Todd Bloomstine, of the Southern California Contractors Association. “What next unpopular project would we blacklist for contractors?”

I'm sure businesses in AZ, NM and NV appreciate the elimination of competition.
Somehow, I imagine the CA lawmakers never considered the cost of their actions.
Wow, liberal McCarthyism!

What's the problem with any of that?
The wall is an idiotic waste of money.
I can't think of a worse way to spend money we don't have on a project that won't work.
Go Trump.
friend k n kidding me?
The aliens cost us hundreds of billions. Build the wall, cut down much of the expense. Costs a lot to send them back to Mars.

Hmmmm! Well at least is might force a few more away from doing gov't contract work making gov't less and less intrusi.....effective so there is some bright side to this.
The other nice thing is that California is getting so divisive with itself, at what point does it just implode? I don't live there nor any desire too but a California political implosion seems to me would be good for the rest of us. NE US is next!

The 'aliens' don't cost us 'hundreds of billions'...
You're high.
BTW, a wall 1000ft high wouldn't stop our migration problem.
Actually if you add up costs of social services, crime, border enforcement, education, and medical it does add up to tens of billions a year which adds up to hundreds of billions spent over a decade. And border patrol backing up a wall would be the most effective way to keep them out. Or we could just beef up the border patrol and make it impossible to get past. That is until a more accommodating administration tells the bp to stand down.

Just never seen any real evidence to fully justify that claim in my mind and I've read A LOT of gov't documents and policy papers on welfare and aid assistance expenditures by gov't (mostly a form of crony capitalism IMO) and never seen anything to support the argument to that cost level. But, I've heard a lot of taking points claiming that is the case.
