Opposition to immigrant sanctuary spreading in California
Governor Moonbeam feeling some heat......
Quote:SANTA ANA, CALIF.
More local governments in California are resisting the state's efforts to resist the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, and political experts see politics at play as Republicans try to fire up voters in a state where the GOP has grown weak.
Since the Jeff Sessions-led Department of Justice sued California last month over its so-called "sanctuary state" law limiting police collaboration with immigration agents, at least a dozen local governments have voted to either join or support the lawsuit or for resolutions opposing the state's position. Those include the Board of Supervisors in Orange County, which has more than 3 million people.
More action is coming this week, with leaders in the Orange County city of Los Alamitos scheduled to vote Monday on a proposal for a local law to exempt the community of 12,000 from the state law. On Tuesday, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors is meeting to consider joining the Trump administration lawsuit.
Immigration has been a hot topic across the country since President Donald Trump campaigned in 2016 on promises of tougher enforcement and a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. It has been a lightning rod issue in California far longer.

There are some great people in Cali, but they are moving out in droves. The ones there are trying to fight the loons, hope they have some success, but not banking on it.

RE: Opposition to immigrant sanctuary spreading in California
My Cousins, from Lawng I-lend moved to Ca probably 30 yrs ago. Devoted Libs, they are.
Even they have bailed out. Jan and Fam moved to Seattle area, Bob fled to Nevada I think. Even they can't freaking believe what's taking place, taking over their State of choice. And trust me, these are devoted Libs.
Capitalists all, so not not devoted socialists, or the more recently common communists, but VERY liberal. All the way up to my now 70+ YO Aunt.
We had dinner a few months ago on a visit, even they were shaking their damn heads.
Land of fruits and nuts...
