California’s efforts to protect immigrants while balancing legitimate public safety concerns is proving more difficult than many thought. SB 54, the California Values Act (de Leon, D-Los Angeles), is at an impasse, at least temporarily, as Governor Brown, Senate President pro temp Kevin de Leon, immigration groups and law enforcement interests grapple with the legislation’s complexities.
SB 54 establishes “safe zones” that would that require California schools, hospitals and courtrooms to adopt policies that limit immigration enforcement on their premises. The principle is to promote public safety and health without becoming involved in the uncertainty and dysfunction of our broken immigration system.
The California Catholic Conference is supporting the bill while working with elected officials and advocacy groups to iron out some of the concerns.
“By our inaction and indifference we have created a quiet human rights tragedy that is playing out in communities all across this great country,” explains Archbishop José Gomez in a recent talk on immigration reform. “There is now a vast underclass that has grown up at the margins of our society. And we just seem to accept it as a society. We have millions of men and women living as perpetual servants — working for low wages in our restaurants and fields; in our factories, gardens, homes and hotels.”
Balancing the need to apprehend violent and serious felons with unnecessary entanglement in immigration matters appear to be the focus of negotiations at this point.
“Nobody disputes that we should be deporting violent criminals. Nobody,” said Archbishop Gomez. “People have a right to live in safe neighborhoods. But what is the public policy purpose that is served by taking away some little girl’s dad or some little boy’s mom?”

5 million immigrants granted US citizenship can’t speak English
https://www.capoliticalreview.com/capoliticalnewsandviews/5-million-immigrants-granted-us-citizenship-cant-speak-english/
In a stunning indictment of the system that tests immigrants on their eligibility to become “naturalized citizens,” a new report finds that a third are functionally illiterate, unable to speak and understand enough English to get that status.
Some 32 percent of naturalized citizens, about 5 million, fall below “basic” skills in English, the equivalent of being functionally illiterate, according to a new report from the Center for Immigration Studies.
The report is a follow on to one that found 67 percent of immigrants in the United States for 15…
I know how we can fix our broken immigration system… follow existing immigration law. And please, save us the tiresome “taking away some little girl’s dad or some little boy’s mom” appeal.
When will these defenders of illegals recognize that “ILLEGAL” means precisely that. If someone entered your home w/o your permission that would be against the law and illegal. Same applies to our nation. If someone enters our nation w/o our permission that is against the law and illegal. CHRIST was NEVER EVER political. If He had been He had a case against the Roman Empire but He NEVER EVER said by word of deed anything re breaking the laws. Too many Bishops who are indeed themselves latinos are playing a dangerous game bc they aren’t following Christ’s words and deeds. “RENDER TO CEASAR THE THINGS THAT ARE CEASAR THE THINGS THAT ARE CEASAR’S; AND TO GOD THE THINGS THAT ARE GOD’S.
CHRIST HAD RESPECT FOR ALL LAWS WHOSE FRAMEWORK…
Perhaps the Archbishop of Los Angeles might consider that those of us who oppose the California Bishop’s Conference position on immigration care about something more than deportation of criminal immigrants. So far as I can tell, the Conference has said nothing about the pitiful condition of catechesis in the Catholic education system. They might try to address how to catechize existing parishioners in the integral nature of Catholic moral teaching, and support their observance of it. They might point out the major issues that confront the vast majority of the observant flock in their quest for the salvation of their personal soul. They might try to help the people who are in the “underclass” to advance themselves in the quest for…
Just one more reason why I no longer provide any financial support for our local diocese beyond the annual collections for retired priests and retired religious.
President Reagan once said that he did not leave the Democrat party, that the Democrat party had left him. As time goes by, I am feeling more and more like President Reagan felt but in my case it is with regard to the Catholic Church both in the US and The Vatican.
Study supports Trump: 5.7 million noncitizens may have cast illegal votes
https://www.capoliticalreview.com/capoliticalnewsandviews/study-supports-trump-5-7-million-noncitizens-may-have-cast-illegal-votes/
Here is a shocker—a shock to the Fake News Media and the Democrats—there really could be 5.7 million illegal cast in the 2008 election. Since there were no changes, it is possible about the same crooked votes were cast in 2016.
We know that in California there is no vetting of online registration, in Virginia and Indiana major scams have been uncovered.
