California legislator files Arizona-style immigration bill

A California lawmaker has introduced a bill similar to Arizona's tough anti-illegal immigration law, according to news reports.
The measure by Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, R-Twin Peaks, would make it a crime in California to be in the country illegally, according to FoxNews.com.
The freshman assemblyman, who calls himself a minuteman from San Bernardino County, had pledged to introduce a bill similar to Arizona's SB1070. However, some analysts have said that AB 26 is unlikely to go far in a heavily Democrat-controlled Assembly, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
The bill would end "sanctuary cities" and require all employers to use E-Verify, a free, federal program that is Internet-based and allows employers to check the eligibility of employees to work in the United States, according to assemblyman's website:

The bill would also make it a misdemeanor to be in the country illegally and increase the penalty for those convicted of trafficking people into California for the purpose of sex slavery, according to news reports.
