The #CounterResistance in California continues to grow

Legal Insurrection


"In 2015, I reported that California’s creation of new rules that permitted the issuing of driver’s licenses to undocumented immigrants overwhelmed the Department of Motor Vehicles and within less than 2 months over 100,000 illegal immigrants had obtained those vital pieces of identification.
"Jumping ahead to 2018, and now over 1,000,000 “undocumented” residents now have drivers licenses…quite predictably. And equally predictable is the pride that many of our state legislators are take in this achievement.
“Immigrants are getting tested, licensed and insured and this is making our roads safer for everyone,” said [Luis] Alejo, now a Monterey County supervisor, in a prepared statement. “Today, we see the law working the way it was intended to and has dramatically improved the lives of a million immigrants and their families.”
"What has been less predictable to those outside of the Blue Zone of California is the mounting #CounterResistance to Sacramento’s illegal-immigrant-embracing policies. As I indicated last week, the City of Escondido has voted on the Sanctuary State policies, and has now formally joined the lawsuit against California." . . .
