If California were a person, they would most likely be diagnosed as clinically insane.
In their latest bid to give the finger to the federal government, legislators in late August passed a juvenile, punitive law that would prohibit the state from hiring any agents who worked on immigration enforcement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Border Patrol, or Customs and Border Protection (CBP) during Donald Trump’s second presidential term.
It’s called the GTFO Act, which stands for Get the Feds Out, but which could be interpreted in a different, vulgar way. That, I am quite sure, is not accidental. State Assemblymember Mark Gonzalez (CA-84) and Sen. Maria Elena Durazo (D-CA) were behind the discriminatory act.
Even for the formerly Golden State, this is fourth-rate banana republic stuff.
Now that it’s through the legislature, it’s headed to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s desk, where he will almost certainly sign it into law to appease his left-wing base as he preps for an all-but-certain presidential campaign. He has until September 30 to make it law.
If he does, expect the measure to be challenged in court — posthaste.
