PLEASE CALL all day FRIDAY, Aug. 29, 2014 to demand a “no” (see links and contact numbers at end). BELOW PRETTY MUCH SUMMARIZES IT: I’m calling FOR the CA STATE SENATE and ASSEMBLYMAN “NO” VOTE on SB 1159 … In addition to OPENING UP 200 PROFESSIONAL, LICENSED JOBS TO ILLEGAL ALIENS…this will mean that the background checks now done by the DOJ and FBI for these licenses …WILL NOT BE DONE on the ITN’s illegal aliens will be using (by the very nature of the ITN)…so there will be bad public health & safety consequences …in addition to the potential for identity theft…WITHOUT THE prior required Social Security BACKGROUND CHECKS. THE GROUPS THAT GET SOCIAL SECURITY numbers ARE LEGAL RESIDENTS, DACA AND NATURAL BORN citizens. THE FOLKS who get Federal ITN’s ARE THE ILLEGAL ALIENS . SO therefore… IT’S AN ILLEGAL-ALIENS’ JOBS BILL. SB 1159 will allow illegals to get licenses for Doctors of Osteopathy (OD) , Dentistry, ALL allied HEALTH AND CHIROPRACTIC, real estate, accounting, contracting, home repair, just to name a few…as well as Section 2103 of the Business and Professions Code is amended to read: An applicant shall be eligible for a physician’s and surgeon’s certificate….WHAT THE HECK??????????????? Now some quack running from a foreign country can swoop in and start cutting on Americans. ALL anyone CAN TELL YOU IS that it’s “minimum vetting … BUT…with an ITN number for the illegals… there’s NO traditional FBI or DOJ investigation into ANYONE’S background….YOU HAVE NO CLUE IF THEY’RE a CRIMINAL, or someone who does SLOPPY MEDICAL WORK. The thing is…SB 1159 will allow aliens WORLDWIDE & OFFSHORE to apply for over 200 licenses and they don’t have to be living here to start applying. It will also make our college graduate citizens compete with literally millions of folks from other countries…and it’s already hard enough as it is…not to mention the loads of college loans our kids have…while free tuition, room & board will have been given to the illegals vying for our professional jobs. WE WILL BE CREATING A NEW CLASS OF UNEMPLOYABLE COLLEGE GRADUATES….DUE TO THE ILLEGALS FLOODING INTO THE USA. When it comes to healthcare…the one thing you rely on is that you are in the hands of someone with a good standard of care and upholding the oath of “do no harm” ….BUT with illegals with an ITN number … that person is a mystery. You certainly DON ‘T WANT TO GO TO A “MYSTERY DOCTOR” and then find out you have some BAD WOUND CLOSURE …your abdomen is hissing after a surgery…or something like that …and then you’re screwed…This is one area of life where you want excellent care…no “mystery care” by someone with years less residency etc. due to much lower completion standards. An illegal with a medical license who hasn’t been properly vetted and checked out… can get away with murder literally…then skip town . SB 1159 is AFFIRMATIVE ACTION FOR THE ILLEGALS …without regard to FUTURE PUBLIC HEALTH & SAFETY, or identity theft. Say “no” to SB 1159.

At the end of the day - as Senator Ricardo Lara dashed away from us into an elevator surrounded by 4 burly plain clothes officers - the man in the photo above, lingered outside of the elevator, and said to us, Are you THAT Tea Party group everybody is talking about? I asked to film him making this statement and he said, NO! and put his hand in front of his face. He seemed astounded to meet regular citizens in the halls of the Sacramento State Capitol. We discovered that throughout the day, various plain clothes law officers had been observing and joining us at meetings and in the hallway, etc... Above photo is a screen shot from a short clip taken the moment the citizen lobby group entered State Senator Ricardo Laras office. The staff member, at the left, was singing along with the drag queen. However, as soon as she and 2 other staff members realized citizen lobbyists had entered the office, they quickly disappeared into an adjoining room and shut the door. In the clip below, at 2:27, this same staff member, in a serious voice, speaks into the camera, and says, Just an office lunch as she exits the office, carrying a plate of food followed by a second staff member also carrying a plate of food.

BACKGROUND INFO FAIR SB 1159 fairus.org/legislative-updates/legislative-update-5-21-2014 California Senate Passes Bill to Give Professional Licenses to Illegal Aliens On Thursday, May 8, the California Senate passed Senate Bill (S.B.) 1159, which allows the State of California to give business and professional licenses to illegal aliens. The bill accomplishes this by allowing over 40 state boards to accept an applicants individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) in lieu of a social security number for proof of identity. (Los Angeles Times, May 11, 2014) If passed, the bill makes illegal aliens eligible to practice in over two hundred different fields, including medicine, pharmacy, psychiatry, security and real estate, despite federal laws prohibition on the employment of unauthorized aliens. (S.B. 1159; 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)) S.B. 1159 was introduced by Senator Ricardo Lara, whose parents were illegal aliens, only a few months after the California Legislature approved a bill allowing illegal aliens to obtain law licenses. (Los Angeles Times, May 11, 2014) Lara explained the bill as an extension of other measures enacted by California in recent years to provide illegal aliens with tools to assimilate in the United States, including drivers licenses, in-state tuition and access to state financial aid and private funds held by the state universities. (Los Angeles Daily News, May 12, 2014) Senator Lara claims that S.B. 1159 will ensure more Californians have an effective means of economic mobility and self-sufficiency. (Los Angeles Times, May 11, 2014) Senator Lara, however, did not comment on how S.B. 1159 will impact the prospects of Californias unemployed citizen and legal residents seeking jobs in the professions affected. Others view S.B. 1159 as yet another impediment to the enforcement of federal immigration law by the State of California. Ira Mehlman, spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) commented, California is doing everything in its power to blur any distinction between those who are legally present and those who are not. (Id.) S.B. 1159 flies in the face of federal law, which prohibits employers from hiring unauthorized workers. (8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)) Republicans also expressed concern over the cost of implementing S.B. 1159. Peter DeMarco, spokesman for the Senate Republican caucus, warned that tax authorities would not always be able to correctly identify licensees to ensure proper collection of taxes associated with the licensees practice of profession.(Id.) Illegal immigration already costs California an estimated $21.8 billion a year. (FAIR Cost Study, 2010) The Assembly will now consider S.B. 1159. If passed by the Assembly, Governor Jerry Brown must sign the bill before it can become law. S.B. 1159 is just one of a handful of pro-illegal immigration bills introduced in California this year. The California Legislature is also considering providing taxpayer subsidized health care, insurance coverage and student loans to illegal aliens living in the state. (See FAIRs Legislative Update, Apr. 30, 2014; see also FAIRs Legislative Update, Apr. 16, 2014) “…Catholic Charities gets billions of taxpayer dollars for refugee resettlement and general immigration services, which puts it into the category of a smallish government agency. For example, in 2010, 62 percent of Catholic Charities’ budget was funded by the unwilling taxpayer. The feds and the Catholic bishops are partners.”
