Someday the powers that be in Arizona are going to turn off the electricity they export to California, then while they swelter in the dark, they'll have something to think about.

I know that California doesn't care about the earth because it buys nuclear generated electricity and coal generated electricity.

I'm confused. How is this any different from what they do now in Californicated?
marc in calgary...if the leftards keep going the way they are,Cali won't need any power,as the only thing left there will be Mexicans.Hopefully by then,the other state that have brains will have passed a stae law that allows ZERO immigration of anyone from Cali,as it will be only leftards trying to get out as anybody else with two brain cells to rub together will have left long ago.

Mexicans aren't going anywhere there isn't jobs. Thanks for nothing Cali.

Perfect, the US need a sanctuary state "Liberals"!

We could call it Neeeeew Jersey!

Some may call it Escape from New York, but that won't matter as long as we have the guns.

Damned IPad.

Bit of a joke as Mexico has already repossessed California for all intents and purposes. They just aren't making it official as they don't know what to do with all the bureaucratic nuts they will inherit. With the possible exception of Bloombergs crew there must be more mental patients in california than the rest of the country combined.

California liberals will immediately say "this was their(Mexican) land anyhow". They seem to think the white folk just stole it from the Mexicans 'as-is' - that the once prosperous, and still big spending state, was just taken - and that it included the IT industries, interstate hiways, and theme parks etc.

It doesn't seem to occur to them that California would be more like Baja California in Mexico and the cities would be like Tijuana etc. if the Mexicans had held it all this time.

Liberals are narrow-minded morons, it's annoying.

Annoying or funny if you have a dark enough sense of humor.

Call it the California Refugee Assistance Act.
This legislation is CRAP.

The ample evidence Ms. Daniels has gathered led her to believe that the 042 prefix number Obama has been using “had previously been issued to another person,” one who lived in Connecticut between 1977 and 1979 and who was born in 1890.

If it is proven that Obama has an illegal social security number
can he flee to California and ask for sanctuary?

Ms. Daniels might also consider getting into the witness protection program..

California, powered by Ginger, Maryann and 5 million mexicans on bamboo bicycles. This state just keeps digging a deeper hole all the time. If it wasn't so funny it would be sad.

Nice to know that coliformia is in the final stages of mental reasignment...in that its somewhat reverting back to its Mission roots whereby one can seek sanctuary from the 'mean spirited' by seeking religious assylum in the state's basement.

Wonder how these 'left-handed tools' are going to cope when the rest of the planet's underpriveledged desire to crowd in on the Golden State's magnanimous shores.

Welfare booths everywhere at the waters edge?!!

This level of stupidity takes a lot of hard work.
California won't soon even have Hollywood living there.
Its kind of hard not to have power to run a mansion.
When all your money goes to welfare.

I have to say, from a Canadian perspective, that a lot of this shows how different our two countries really are.

Here we have two states bickering over what is really a federal matter; elsewhere, we have a presidential election campaign underway in which the candidates often end up arguing over what are more properly state-level concerns.

Always get a good laugh out of these "Amazing Racist" video's.

Here is how you deal with illigal mexicans -

Which part of "illegal alien" do these foolish lefties not understand. Somehow, I think Mexico will have the last laugh here.

And you will be able to travel to and from this sanctuary state by high speed train.

"Arizona's strict immigration law"?

Like if someone gets busted for holding up a 7-11, or dealing cocaine, the cops are actually allowed to check if the perp is an illegal immigrant too? Because that's all the law ever was -- even before the Fed's amendments -- that's all Arizona ever enforced.

In fact that has been the de facto immigration practice everywhere in the world forever -- if you get busted for something the cops will naturally check for other crimes on the books, not excluding illegal immigration. What the deluded Left is calling "strict immigration law" is simply normal and fair procedure.

Just a personal anecdote, but when I was a teenager I was an illegal Canadian immigrant in the U.S. and also worked illegally, for a period of time. I got caught in a routine check by a cop in Oceanside, California -- NOT because I had been busted for a crime -- it was just a routine street check in those days (I'm also a White man by the way).

The California Police wanted to immediately deport me (don't forget I'm a White Canadian -- for those phony Latino race-baiters out there). Fortunately, I had a couple of buddies from the local Marine base -- friends on furlough from Viet Nam -- who went to bat for this long-haired teenage Canadian hippie: "At least he's working for a living and not causing trouble here -- we can vouch for him". So Police let me go, but they did force my employer to fire me because I was an "illegal", not because I had been busted for crime in the U.S. (BTW I left California and successfully found work elsewhere -- coincidentally Arizona!)

Anyway, the point is immigration laws have been enforced for decades everywhere, and even back in the day when racism was more palpable in the U.S. the laws were equally enforced for White people. Including White people who were not otherwise involved in crime.

But the delusional utopian "world citizen" ideologues of the Left don't even want immigration laws enforced today for common criminals. And their race card is a complete hoax -- I wouldn't be surprised if Left Coast politicians are in the pay of Mexican organized crime...

"meaning immigrant residents may be afraid to call local law enforcement if they are witnesses or victims of a crime out of fear of deportation"

Apparently a statement like "if they weren't here illegally they wouldn't have to fear being deported" doesn't register with the brainiacs running the state.

"...may be afraid to call local law enforcement if they are witnesses or victims of a crime out of fear of deportation"

There's a simple solution to that: offer them the opportunity to apply legally! There are a gazillion NGO bleeding-heart liberal immigration lawyers and advocacy groups who are simply itching to play the role of paternalistic "heroic" saviours of little brown people from south of the border. The sanctuary movement is an illegitimate race-baiting farce so long as people have the alternative to apply legally.

Like if someone gets busted for holding up a 7-11, or dealing cocaine, the cops are actually allowed to check if the perp is an illegal immigrant too? Because that's all the law ever was -- even before the Fed's amendments -- that's all Arizona ever enforced.

Or just gets pulled over for some trite offense like speeding. 'Papers please' is unAmerican. The concern is that the law will focus attention on anybody that 'looks' illegal ie hispanic. It's pretty obvious that's unavoidable.

"if they weren't here illegally they wouldn't have to fear being deported"

If it weren't all but impossible to legally immigrate into America there wouldn't be this 'problem', as if unauthorized hard working folk are a 'problem'.

This is actually a pretty good idea on Cali's part, too bad the businesses that would profit from this are being systematically destroyed.

LAS,

Speeding isn't a "trite offence". More people are probably killed in automobile accidents than by gun violence, not to mention by drunk drivers. And not to mention people who break the rules of the road who are also busted for many other offences such as drugs and weapons possession, far more than are busted just because they look like little brown people who may happen to be illegals. If you are stupid enough to speed while you are engaged in other illegal activity then you are a dickhead and deserve to get busted.

I knew a Mexican-American Sheriff from Corpus Christi who could distinguish a carload of "wetbacks" just by looking at them. Does that make him a racist too? -- his mom and dad were Mexican! Does that mean the Latino Sheriff shouldn't act on his cultural instinct which was 100% accurate? The man knew his own people and how they acted when they were in the U.S. illegally!

LAS: "As if unauthorized hard working folk are a problem".

Well, as I mentioned I was one of those unauthorized hard workers -- I busted my butt in a tomato packing plant in California. I took my chances and got caught. Tough luck, so now I must cry and blubber for the rest of my life: "Oh, but only if the Sanctuary Movement were there to save me back then..." Thank God they weren't there, otherwise I wouldn't have an interesting story to tell my grandchildren some day.

And don't tell me about the problems of legally immigrating to the U.S. -- as a Canadian I would have been put on a two-year waiting list just to have my file considered in those days. Probably about 2 billion people would emigrate to the U.S. in short order if they flung open their borders completely.

It's called reality, my friend.

Please, God let it be true!!! Arizona could do with a few less illegal Mexicans. Let them all run to Cali and frig up that state some more.

Now the loony left is trying to make us stop using the word "illegals". An activist type on Bill O'Reilly the other night was running that idiocy up the flagpole, but Bill was not saluting it. I suppose they are already teaching this nonsense in our schools.

The US is one of the hardest countries in the world to immigrate to legally. If they made it easier to be legal, they'd have less problems. I know - I've had two green cards. Tough to get.
And I pay taxes, but can't vote!!!!

'Papers please' is unAmerican.

As is jumping the queue.

Legal immigration good, illegal immigration bad.

But it's California's job to settle all of the problems caused by Arizona just like Alberta just paid for a new road in Rimouski.
