‘Undocumented Immigrant Not a Criminal’ Proclaims CA Chief Law Officer Kamala Harris
Breitbart California ^ | April 18, 2015 | Michelle Moons

California’s 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.

Last November, President Obama declared effective amnesty for an estimated five million illegally present aliens. 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.

It does seem that Harris, declared candidate for the U.S. Senate, is implying in her words that these foreign nationals are not persistent criminals as she told KCAL 9, “I’m a career prosecutor. I’ve personally prosecuted everything from low-level offenses to homicides. Unfortunately, I know what crime looks like. I know what a criminal looks like who’s committing a crime. An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal.”(continued)

How soon, (not very), will it be before the rest of the populace, citizens and non-citizens, decide that the nation of laws, where all are equal, is no longer there? And what we see of that former lawful framework that came to be by the ‘consent of the governed’ is now a rotten core of a building with just the facade waiting to fall down under the next windstorm or shaking of the earth it’s rotten foundation rests upon?

I would say that the equal application of laws has been gone for a long time — Remember these?

  1. ‘If the President Does It, That Means It’s Not Illegal’ -- Nixon
  2. Waco, TX
  3. Ruby Ridge, ID
  4. The widespread and virtually unchecked use of Civil Asset Forfeiture
  5. The IRS political targeting
  6. The NSA's domestic espionage

An illegal alien must first commit an illegal act to be considered a criminal.”””

They crossed our border without proper papers. That is illegal.

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.
