California Immigration Scandal Exposed!

Laws seemingly passed to help illegal immigrants actually sponsored by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security as a way to round up illegal aliens and deport them; Minority groups outraged

San Clemente, CA - Julio Ramirez showed up Monday at his neighborhood DMV, eager to apply for a California state driver's license, now that Governor Gray Davis has passed a bill allowing undocumented non-citizens to obtain drivers licenses. What he found instead was armed National Guard troops, rounding up illegal immigrants for deportation to their home countries.

Julio's fate was shared by thousands of illegals across the state as federal agents and National Guard troops detained these people for questioning and deportation.

Tom Ridge, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security made this stunning revelation at 3pm PDT on Monday:

California's pro-illegal immigrant laws were nothing more than a way to entrap illegal aliens in our country, so that we may remove them. These bills were developed within the Department, and provided to California legislators to introduce into their legislative process.

Frankly, we were surprised with how well these bills were received. We felt that the legislators would see right through them, for what the bills are -- a way to make it far easier to enforce existing Federal immigration laws.

The California Democrats took the bills adopted them right into their liberal socialism strategies and plans. We at the Department of Homeland Security couldn't have been more pleased.

All illegal aliens detained by our troops and agents will be questioned and promptly deported to their country of origin.

California Democrats are outraged, while Republicans praised the Federal government for using these new California laws to root out illegals in our country.

Outside of Sacramento, legal residents of California still don't understand why the Democrats were so in favor of these laws. One citizen on the street had this to say:

Even if the Democrats couldn't realize that this was sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security, they should have spotted some errors in their rationale.

I mean, first off, why is a state sponsoring legislation that runs completely counter to federal laws? By doing so, they risk losing out on money normally provided by the U.S. government.

Second, why would their constituents support such legislation? Presumably, the Democrats get most votes from minorities. It's the case that many minorities make less money than white people. So see if you can follow along with this: we're giving more rights and privileges (free college education, drivers licenses) to illegal immigrants. This is only going to make more illegals want to cross over. These undocumented workers often get paid paltry amounts, usually under the table. With a steady stream of people who will accept this low pay, there's no pressure on employers to pay better. But the illegals get free college! They get to better themselves...at the expense of the legal residents, and quite likely they'll displace the legal residents, leaving the legal, voting minority citizens in worse shape than before illegals were given all these privileges? How the Dem's pulled that over their heads, I don't know.
