(Reuters) - While America's debate over immigration has been dominated recently by crackdowns in states like Arizona and Alabama, California legislators are trying to turn that tide with a bill to protect illegal immigrants that they dub the "anti-Arizona."
Last week, the top U.S. court upheld the most controversial aspect of Arizona's immigration statute: a requirement that police officers check the immigration status of people they stop, even for minor offenses such as jay-walking.
Enter California, a border state that is home to the largest number of illegal immigrants, most of whom are Hispanic, and is considerably more liberal than its neighbor Arizona.
A bill currently working its way through the California legislature would block local law enforcement from referring a detainee to immigration officials for deportation unless that person has been convicted of a violent or serious felony.

How to destroy what once was a truly great state.
Oh, how sweet of the legislators to p*ss away their constituents’ money.
And that’s why Stockton has defaulted on their bonds and the California State budget is deep, deep, deep in the red.
But, hey, those lettuce growers have to get their cheap labor. They must have strong representation downtown.
With any luck, the law will act as a magnet and draw the Illegals from the other 49 states.
And Ca wonders why it’s broke,dumb asses on the march.
Watch for a huge spike in crime.
One word... typical.
LLS
Yes, indeed. Rather than follow the law and DEPORT them now, let's wait until the illegal lawbreaker rapes and/or murders before doing anything. Gotcha.
Not saying you're not welcome, you're just not welcome to export Socialism, Radical Environmentalism, and the general stupidity that got you where you are.
Yeah, I know that. But let’s up the ante: any new DMV license to Texas should have a mandatory “are you a liberal?’ question. If you’re a brain-dead libtard, you won’t be provided residence status in TX.
California is a lost cause. The state is facing fiscal collapse, and all the Assembly can find time to do is debate the “Heather has Four Mommies” bill and this pointless immigration enforcement bill.
California will continue to sink into the depths of a coming insurrection. I truly hope the state is split into two states.
“...a REQUIREMENT that police officers check the immigration status of people they stop, even for minor offenses such as jay-walking.”
.
Um, no. Only if they have good reason to suspect someone may not be here legally.
They'd all like to come here. Let's do it. Roll out the welcome mat. I know this much, when we're a Chinese country we won't have to worry about illegals coming in... they won't put up with that.. we can call ourselves 'Chinica' and ask liberals 'what they're afraid of'... 'cause the 'liberals' aren't gonna have any power either...
Just when you thought the California politicians couldn’t get any crazier...
Dubya pretty much accomplished that by trying to give illegals amnesty instead of deporting them. Obama’s defacto amnesty for illegals under 30 was just the next step for the bipartisan Treason Lobby.
And when Rubio becomes President, thanks to a bunch of conservatives who should know better, he can take the next step in transforming the US into a multicultural Proposition Nation. After which the whole country will be just like California.
There goes an effective tool in making sure illegals are held accountable. More and more these days the warped judiciary grants bail to illegals, regardless of the crime, who are by definition a flight risk. An immigration hold is a great way for local prosecutors to put violent criminals on "ICE" until trial so they don't skip the country.
“Not saying you’re not welcome, you’re just not welcome to export Socialism, Radical Environmentalism, and the general stupidity that got you where you are.”
And how are you going to stop from doing that. After liberals manage to ruin their states they look around for greener pastures... without having learned any lessons.
Since Obama has announced his policy that the INS will not cooperate with Sheriff Joe’s turning over illegals to the Fed to be deported maybe Sheriff Joe should consider dropping them off at the California border.
CA is going to wait after the “conviction” to ask if they are here illegally?
Was is the key word in your post.
CA has already passed the point of no return.
And because of that, maybe this new law will draw every
illegal in every other state to CA.
If we can’t deport them, lets send them to CA, which is the next best thing.
Arizona really needs to reopen its fruit inspection stations with California. Strictly enforced: No fruits or nuts. This means you, Californians!
That statement just doesn't sound right.
California’s finished. It’s like Detroit - liberal ideas in action... they tried every liberal idea and now it’s a sh*thole. That’s what liberals want for the country...
I predict Baraq will come up with a way to let Ca, Il, and NY issue state bonds with federal guarantees.
Yes I know the Fedgov is broke, but that will buy them a few more years.
Actually, it's a very shrewd way to clamp down on illegal aliens and we just don't see it.
Has justice Roberts spent any time in CA lately?
Unopposed liberal madness has ruined California to such an extent that staying in Mexico seems like a better alternative to many Mexicans these days.
Liberals are very stupid evil causing people they need to be fought not understood.
I thought the Supreme Court made it clear that states and localities could not have different policies on illegal immigrants. Indeed, those sanctuary cities are now illegal in California.
IF Communists can destroy the magnificent God-given bounty that was California, then they can destroy ANYTHING>
But then of course, we already knew that, with even a casual familiarity with world history.
America is the home of the free....but only if you’re in the nation illegally. :)
When a white man breaks the law, the cops take him to jail.
When a brown/black man breaks the law, the cops get taken to jail.
Isn’t Obamaland great? :)
“Why not just make it official and sign the whole state over to Mehico? “
The time isn’t right for that yet.
But is it beyond the realm of possibility to think that such a day could actually arrive?
Think back, say, fifteen+ years. Did you ever hear the expression “Atzlan”? Upon being told what it meant, did you discount it? Laugh it off?
I’m sure that, back then, a lot of folks were laughing about the concept of Atzlan.
But today, folks ain’t laughing any more...
And how are you going to stop from doing that. After liberals manage to ruin their states they look around for greener pastures... without having learned any lessons.
The trouble is, they learn the wrong lessons. Accustomed to thinking in personalities, their lesson is, "we just put the wrong guys in office" - usually cloaked in a generality like "we just went too far." In other words, their grand lesson is: "my boys wouldn't have screwed it up."
So, when they migrate, they look and vote for "my boys" - and history repeates itself. Sad to say, real repentence is scarce.
BTW this "jaywalking stops" include identity theft, fraud, false information on documents, driving without a license, driving without insurance, not to mention breaking the law just getting here.
What! You want to give those “IDIOTS” four Senators?
Nothing personal, just saying.
I don’t think the country can last few more years under his misruling.
Some are onto his love of socialism to many are broke to back him.
