Gov. Jerry Brown to Mexican Illegals: 'You're All Welcome in California'
by Tony Lee 26 Aug 2014, 9:07 AM PDT 6206
On Monday evening, California Governor Jerry Brown said all Mexicans,
including illegal immigrants, are welcome in California.
According to the Los Angeles Times, while introducing Mexican President
Enrique Peña Nieto, who said America is "the other Mexico," Brown "
spoke about the interwoven histories of Mexico and California." He "nodded
to the immigrants in the room, saying it didn't matter if they had
permission to be in the United States."
"You're all welcome in California," Brown reportedly said.
Brown has made California a sanctuary state by signing the Trust Act, giving
driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. He has also expanded financial aid
to illegal immigrants by signing the California DREAM Act. Peña Nieto
reportedly "thanked state officials for embracing foreigners, citing
measures that extend state benefits to immigrants."
Even during the border crisis, Brown reportedly vowed "to find ways to
shorten long waits at the Tijuana-San Diego international border crossing,"
saying, "If we can put a man on the moon, we can put a man from Mexico to
California in 20 minutes."
In 2012, 28% of Californians were born outside the United States, according
to The New York Times. Hispanic voters reportedly "made up 19.2% of
California voters" in 2010. And according to Pew Research, Latinos make up
nearly 40% of the state's population and have made California "only the
second state, behind New Mexico, where whites are not the majority and
Latinos are the plurality."
Even though the University of California has admitted a record number of
Hispanics, the Latino Caucus has vowed to make affirmative action and
bilingual education top legislative priorities.
Peña Nieto is scheduled to address the California State Legislature in
Sacramento on Tuesday. |
