Assembly Bill 35 targets a select group of undocumented immigrants, participants in President Barack Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, who came to the United States as youths and have lived generally productive lives for numerous years.

Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation, effective Jan. 1, that enables participants in the federal program to obtain California driver's licenses. AB 35 would provide them with rights to a state ID card, unemployment benefits and state-administered medical services.

AB 35 was proposed by Assemblyman Roger Hernández, a West Covina Democrat who was named chairman of the Assembly Labor and Employment Committee this month.

"California embodies the greatest diversity in the world," Hernández said in a written statement. "We recognize we will need the collective skills and talents of these young immigrants to aid out state in reaching our true potential."

As labor committee chairman, Hernández said, "I am ready to carry my part in making sure their integration into our workforce, economy and society becomes a reality."

So that what racialists like this A-hole think is happening in California - we're 'reaching our true potential'?

Utterly hilarious - to anyone who doesn't live here.

Undocumented...Is that what they are calling criminals nowadays? Hey maybe I’ll not pay my taxes in April, make an undocumented withdrawal.

OMG! California is bankrupt, essentially, or so they claim, and went begging for more money from tax payers... and they do this? And taxpayers don’t get it? What is in the water there? Air? For God’s sake.

Ok, I even had to check to see if this was satire.

We need to adopt a certification process the lets states stay as members of the union. These people cant drag the people of the sane states down with them. Reverse secession (expulsion) as it were.

They already are, because they are using bogus paperwork to get their jobs. A friend who owns a construction business told me the illegals collect unemployment when they get laid off from one job, change their name, and get a new job while continuing to collect unemployment under the previous name.

The legislation will die, because federal law doesn’t allow states to pay unemployment to illegal aliens. However, if an illegal answers that they are a citizen, then their status isn’t even checked. So fraud goes on . . . .

Also, does anybody remember the SOTU message where the Fla. Congressman hollers, "LIAR!" when Obama says illegals won't get ObamaCare?

Guess what?

Why doesn't anybody in the MSM revisit that topic?

What do we do when California begs for money from the rest of us? My vote goes for them and Ill to pound sand.

Hernandez, if you want to integrate them into the work force, give them work visas. If you want to bankrupt California, give them unemployment payments.

oh wait, California is already bankrupt.

Perhaps it is Hernandez that should be given unemployment benefits.

Give them those “same rights”, and the next thing you know, it won’t be 400,000 taking advantage of them, it will be 4 million....

And after that.... ??
