Californias chief law officer, Attorney General Kamala Harris, declared this week, an undocumented immigrant is not a criminal, a statement in direct contradiction to federal law.
Illegally entering and remaining in the country is a federal crime. By stating that those who illegally enter or remain in the United States are not in violation of law is simply incorrect. However, many of these undocumented immigrants are not being prosecuted under the current administration.

Since then, Representative Luis Gutierrez has traveled the country, partnering with fellow immigration reform, Democrat legislators and activists, not advocating for citizens but for those illegally present within the U.S.

This woman is nuts.
I think you are right in what you say, my point is that not everyone has been paying attention. Today it has almost become the ‘norm’ it’s so ubiquitous in our society. All of the structures that make up ‘life’ in America for a citizen who tries to follow the ‘rules’ and laws have been riddled with fractures. I see it and hear it now in more in more places.
In many ways it’s just a waiting game for our people, they know it’s going to break soon. They just don’t know when, where or how. But they all feel that it is going to happen. And more than a few are praying that it won’t.
