MyspaceRallies were held on Friday and Saturday outside Assemblymember Das Williams’s district office, encouraging Williams to vote for the Trust Act, a bill that would override the Secure Communities deportation program and offer more protection to illegal immigrants. Those leading the rallies are worried Williams won’t vote in support of the bill because he abstained during a vote on a similar 2011 bill. In response to the rallies, Williams released a statement saying he has always been a strong supporter of immigrants’ rights (noting his support of the DREAM Act) and is in the midst of reviewing the legislation.

That's right, more RIGHTS for illegals means less rights for legals. Gotta luv it.

As long as those rights are granted through the same procedures as many other generation before them had to attain through the proper citizenship programs. Illegal is Illegal, whether from across the border or across the Ocean is still deportable.

It will be interesting to see what happens if this passes. It will be counter to the federal secure communities program.
Of course we know the feds balked when AZ tried to institute it's own immigration program.
The big question is would the feds balk if CA tries to do the same thing?
Or for political expediency, will the Feds look the other way?
