This is exactly the kind of utter insanity that has Donald Trump leading the GOP polls
(LA Times) Julian Zatarain always assumed the doors of City Hall were closed to him because he is here illegally, arriving from Sinaloa in 2007 when he was 13.
The 21-year-old college student found other outlets for service, such as volunteering for the Red Cross and with an organization that helps young people like him get access to educational resources.
Then on Monday, Zatarain proudly accepted an appointment to the Huntington Park parks and recreation commission. Another immigrant here illegally, Francisco Medina, 29, won an appointment to the health and education commission.
“I’m speaking out for people like me,” Zatarain said. “I’m not doing anything wrong.”
Yes, you are. You’re in the country illegally. Will you represent the legal citizens? You’ve as much stated that you won’t.
Unsurprisingly, the comments are heavily against giving two illegal aliens these positions. It’s the same at Yahoo News, where I first ran across the story.
People who are in this country illegally cannot vote or seek elected office, but officials in Huntington Park said their status should not stop them from helping govern in other ways.
This is a dereliction of duty, and blatantly violates federal law which prohibits anyone from hiring anyone who is in the country unlawfully. It may be legal in California, but, federal law trumps state law. As liberals were quick to point out when states tried to crack down on illegals.
Typical liberal insanity. And once they’re done ruining a city, liberals move elsewhere to escape from the messes they created.
One thing the Huntington Park government is telling residents and visitors is that they do no have to actually obey the law.
