California Looks to Lead the Trump Resistance

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Nobody knows yet what Donald Trump is going to do to immigration enforcement. Only a month has passed since the election, and the president-elect is no different from the candidate: erratic, self-contradictory, hazy on principles and policies.

But states and cities that value immigrants, including the undocumented, do not have the luxury of waiting and hoping for the best. They are girding for a confrontation, building defenses to protect families and workers from the next administration.

They fear that Mr. Trump, who ran on a pledge of mass deportation, dehumanizing immigrants and refugees, will remove humane discretion from immigration enforcement. They understand that not all unauthorized immigrants are criminals, that not all should be detained or deported and that the country cannot enforce its way out of its failure to reform unjust immigration laws.

1. For such a large state, the poorly handled election cuckold them.

So, I can see why they would want to have their voices heard.

2. I was reading the comments section.

Some of the Trumpists oppose a law to be voted on by California where if it passes Californian law men and women can only arrest those who haven't broken California law by writ of a federal magistrate. In other words they won't arrest a person just here without documents.
