California 'sanctuary law'

For those of you who may be confused by the new California ‘sanctuary law’, I will give you some highlights by providing some what-if scenarios.

What if a person commits a murder in California?

Scenario one: The person accused of the murder is a U.S. citizen.

The person will be held, possibly without bail, and prosecuted for the crime of murder. If unable to afford an attorney, a totally insufficient defense lawyer will be provided by the state of California whose only role is to convince the accused person to accept a plea bargain. Of course, if the accused is wealthy, then he may be able to afford to hire a decent attorney.

Scenario two: The person accused of the murder is an illegal alien who has no legal right to be in the United States.

Since the person is an illegal, the state’s ‘sanctuary provisions’ are invoked. Most likely, the accused will be granted bail, and perhaps the state will provide the money to pay the bail. Of course it is obvious that the state will pay the legal expenses of the accused allowing him to hire the attorney or attorneys of his choosing. If the U. S. immigration service has an outstanding warrant for the accused, it is obvious that the state of California will pay all of the legal expenses incurred by the accused to avoid arrest by the immigration service as well as providing alternate I.D. documents for the accused to prevent the immigration service from successfully finding him.

Scenario three: In addition to being an illegal alien, the accused is either a member of violent criminal gang (such as ms-13) or the accused is a known terrorist.

In addition to all of the benefits noted in scenario two, the state of California will also pay the accused an ‘apology’ amount to be no less than $50,000 for the inconvenience that the accused will be subjected to in avoiding any consequences for the ‘wrongful accusation’. Of course, all charges will be dropped immediately.

Hopefully, you can see how the same principles will be applied for all other felonies committed in California, such as rape, theft, assault and so on.

Of course, you can probably see that this new ‘sanctuary law’ will cost the state of California millions (or maybe billions) of dollars in new legal expenses. If you are a legal resident of California, don’t concern yourself with this cost. In discussions regarding how to afford this expense, California is debating how to divert all Federal funding received for the purpose of enforcing immigration policies into a fund to help pay for this bill. There has also been discussion of releasing all illegals being held in California prisons and using the prison money to pay the costs of the ‘sanctuary law’. Failing that, they are also investigating the possibility of taxing American citizens incarcerated in California to pay the costs of incarcerating illegals in California. Democrats in the California legislature are also considering new taxes to be levied on any American citizen who is employed in California to cover any shortfall. Again, if you are legal resident, do not concern yourself with the cost of this law. Democrats are also already examining how California can declare bankruptcy and pass all of the costs on to the Federal government.

Of course, the actual effects of the ‘sanctuary law’ may not be this grievous, but it does appear that if you are a legal United States citizen residing in California, perhaps you should consider getting out of the state before being an illegal becomes a legal requirement in California!

Have a good day!
