IT BEGINS: California Appoints FIRST Illegal Alien to State Office – Trump Has Better
Plan Illegal aliens residing in the state of California
in defiance of federal immigration laws would now be able to serve on all state and local
boards and commissions under a proposal introduced before the California state Senate.
Now the state of California has appointed its first "unprotected" illegal alien
in state office after Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de León (D-Los Angeles) appointed
Lizbeth Mateo an advisory committee.
The committee's formal name is a bureaucratic mouthful — the California Student Opportunity
and Access Program Project Grant Advisory Committee, or "Cal-SOAP," for short — but
its mission is one that will be familiar to Mateo: to find ways to help students from
underserved communities go to college
Mateo is aa 33-year-old attorney and civil rights activist who was born in Mexico and
came to the United States illegally at the age of 14 with her parents, who are also illegal
aliens, according to the Sacramento Bee.
She often complains that illegal aliens are treated unjustly and are not adequately represented
in state government.
As a result, she describes her appointment as a means towards correcting that alleged
injustice.
Mateo said via Fox News – "While undocumented students have become more visible in our state,
they remain underrepresented in places where decisions that affect them are being made."
Senate Bill 174 made Mateo's appointment possible by amending existing state law to
allow the appointment of any resident over the age of 18 to a civil office regardless
of citizenship or immigration status.
California law currently states that someone is incapable of holding office if they are
not a citizen at the time of their appointment.
"California is stronger when we utilize talents of all our residents, and opening
state and local boards and commissions to every Californian will allow us to better
serve our diverse communities," Sen. Ricardo Lara, D-Bell Gardens, and the bill's author
said in a statement.
"Undocumented Californians are our neighbors, co-workers, and parents, and as lawmakers,
we can't make good policy if their voices are left out of the discussion."
It marked the first time the Senate appointed someone living within the borders of the United
States illegally to a state post.
De León's office attempted to make the argument that the appointment was perfectly
legal because Mateo's committee is advisory in nature only and not delegated to adopt
laws and regulations or allocate state funds.Mateo took to Twitter to celebrate tweeting – In
lawschool I often wondered if I was fit to b in #lawjournal, #mootcourt bc not many ppl
w/ my same background did.
I always went for it bc even if I felt inadequate I thought I could add something of value.
Thank you Sen. kdeleon for appointing me to the CalSOAP Advisory Committee.
I look forward to working w/ the rest of the committee & the Student Aid Commission in
such important task – increase the accessibility of postsecondary education opportunities for
low-income students.Interestingly enough, however, Moteo seems to be confused about
which country she prefers and which country has her loyalty.
In a 2016 Facebook post that appears in celebration of her graduation from Santa Clara University
School of Law, Mateo proclaims publicly in Spanish –
"Everything is dedicated to Oaxaca, Mexico!! to that land that I miss so much."If she
misses it so much?
Why does she not return?
After all, it is her homeland and the country of which is she is a citizen.
Yet here she is in America, in a country in which her very presence is in defiance of
the law she swears to uphold both as an attorney and officer of the court, and also as an officer
of the California state government.
It is important to note that while Mateo is the first "unprotected" illegal alien
to hold a state office, she is not the first elevated to public office in California.
In 2015, the city council of Huntington Park, California, appointed two illegal aliens to
city commissions, sparking a public backlash.
De León and other state officials are stoking an ongoing confrontation with the federal
government over federal immigration laws.
Many were also quick to point out Mateo's hypocrisy in her chosen profession in the
law and in government with her own illegal status and refusal to adhere federal immigration
law.
One Twitter user asked Mateo some very pointed and direct questions – "As someone who
studies and practices the law, how can you at the same time flout the very principles
of justice that law and order is based on?!?!
You are a fraud and should answer for breaking the laws of this land."Citing EdSource data,
de Leon's office said an estimated 72,300 undocumented students are enrolled in California's
public colleges and universities.
(Of those, about 60,000 attend community colleges, 8,300 are in the California State University
system and 4,000 are on University of California campuses.)
Perhaps ICE should hit here for their next raid?
