You know your state is a Mexican colony when your state officials protect foreign nationals from US laws and refuse to protect US citizen from those foreigners.
we have to free ourself from the box that says deport criminals only
He can't. But there are certain aliens who could live in the U.S. legally unless they are convicted of a felony, and a state felony will thus render them deportable. By pardoning them of the state felony, Brown is making them nondeportble.
Because Congress has plenary control over immigration, it could change the law so that stae pardons don't prevent deportation. But under current law, Brown's ploy works.
If I wasn’t clear, his ploy works for people who have no federal convictions, and are deportable only because of a California conviction.
Jerry Brown is an enemy of the state. I hope one of his illegal darlings murders him. That would be payback for endangering the American public by flouting the law and releasing dangerous criminals.
His replacement, Gavin Newsom, is likely to be even worse.
They should be made to pay a cost that makes others think twice , they behave this way because there is never any cost , just publicity . Until there are real deterrents they will never change . They think their office and their liberal allies protect them ,
Kalifornia picked a real winner.
Even Governor Moonbeam balked at signing some confiscatory gun bills. Newsom will go full North Korea on guns.
Trump will have to Twitterbomb the world each time one of them goes out and commits a new crime.
California voters always feel so smart and proud because they always vote for the right thing.
Chimps can be trained
I wonder if the deportation law is written in a way such that a pardon sufficiently changes the facts.
If the deportation law is based on “committing a crime” or “being convicted of a crime”, then you might argue that being pardoned does not change whether you committed or were convicted of the crime, it only changes whether you are still considered a convict.
If the law says “convict”, then I guess pardoning would work.
Can a gov pardon people who commit federal crimes?
