This should be a criminal bill because it is aimed at protecting those who protect illegals in our country, taking benefits away from Americans. The mantra of the progressives is open borders, and everyone is a citizen of the U.S.
Under the guise of playing Robin Hood, the progressives promise outlandish benefits that are impossible even if they took every penny from the billionaires. Funny how the media never brings this up in their role of protecting the left at all costs.
What I don’t understand is why the media is all in with the progressives when they are so-called educated journalists and hosts, so they know the results of socialism and communism. That makes them partners in crime - censorship and manipulation of the truth. All IMO.
“California is saying we care more about illegal immigrants and the millions of dollars we give to the fraudulent entities that support them than the legal taxpayer,” independent journalist Nick Shirley wrote online, urging followers to buy a new sweatshirt he is selling that says “Califraudia Republic.”
The bill signed into law by the governor on Saturday will now make private the addresses of individuals who work with certain immigrant support groups. The legislation has been dubbed by some Republicans as the “Stop Nick Shirley Act” — given Mr. Shirley’s use of government records to make videos about fraud at Minnesota daycare centers run primarily by Somali immigrants and payments to ghost hospice care workers by Medi-Cal in California.
Mr. Shirley, a Gen Z content creator, was invited to the White House to interview Vice President JD Vance after his video on the Minnesota daycare fraud went viral. Mr. Shirley’s video followed a federal investigation which resulted in several arrests.
The bill, AB 2624, is meant to stop people like Mr. Shirley from being able to look into individuals who work at nonprofit organizations or legal clinics which aid immigrants. The bill’s sponsor, assemblywoman Mia Bonta — wife of California attorney general Rob Bonta, says those who work with immigrant communities should be free from harassment.
“Right now, our immigrant service providers are living in fear because of extremists looking to demonize the work that they do and the populations they serve. That is an intolerable consequence of the anti-immigrant rhetoric that exists right now,” Ms. Bonta said in a statement. “I’m proud that with the signing of this bill California is rejecting that, even when people try to make us feel that the political cost of supporting immigrant communities is too high.”
According to the law, if the names of individuals who work at such outfits are made public, the person named could be entitled to monetary compensation. The minimum payment for such a leak is $4,000.”
