First rule of politics: no matter what how insane a story is, it can always get crazier, dumber, and all-around worse.

Case in point: in the left-wing insane asylum masquerading as a state known as California, it’s no longer enough that the authorities consciously break federal immigration law. Now they’ve decided that they’re going to punish their own citizens for not breaking the law.

NTK Network highlights the demented declaration, straight from the mouth of California’s Democrat Attorney General Xavier Becerra:

“There are new laws in place in California now in 2018 with the advent of 2018. I mentioned two of them

specifically, AB 450 and SB 54. AB 450 in particular deals with the workplace in particular and how we go

about treating the information about the workplace and employees at the workplace by employers,”

Becerra explained. “What we’re trying to make sure is that employers are aware that in 2018, there is a

new law in place.”

Becerra then told the reporters gathered that ignorance of the new laws is not a defense.

The reporter followed up by asking if Becerra’s office would prosecute employers found to be in violation

of AB 450.

“We will prosecute those who violate [California] law,” the attorney general responded.


Specifically, the laws Becerra are threatening innocent California job creators with ban employers from “providing voluntary consent to an immigration enforcement agent to enter nonpublic areas of a place of labor unless the agent provides a judicial warrant, except as specified.” Any employer who refuses to comply runs the risk of getting fined “$2,000 up to $5,000 for a first violation and $5,000 up to $10,000 for each subsequent violation.”

In other words, if you’re a California business owner who simply cooperates with ICE agents working to enforce federal immigration laws — cracking down on people who, for starters, stole Social Security numbers in order to get their jobs in the first place — you can expect the state to attempt to bankrupt you.

Apparently Attorney General Becerra is forgetting — or simply doesn’t care — about the Supremacy Clause in Article VI of the Constitution:



This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all

Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme

Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or

Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

In other words, constitutional federal law trumps state law whenever the two contradict one another, and the courts are explicitly commanded to side with the former. No actual prosecution of an employer would make it very far through the court system, so unless Becerra is so insane that he thinks he’s setting up a test case to get the Supreme Court to strike down the very concept of having federal immigration laws (and, being 2018 California, who knows what madness we can rule out), he knows full well he’d be simply wasting the taxpayers’ time.

However, regardless of the effort’s ultimate success, he could put a lot of people through hell before getting slapped down. It’s enough to convince anyone what we do need mass migration, all right — migration of American citizens out of California and into saner states in the Union.
