AB35 Would Allow Illegals To Obtain Any State Benefit

[Ayatollahgondola]

Well, that didn't take long. The big spenders in the state house are quickly moving on bills to support illegals, and this one is a deusy. Authorizes illegals who demonstrate any worth of getting a deferment to obtain any benefit the state makes available to legal citizens. Including a drivers license, welfare, medical, you name it. I'd say the sky's the limit, but I doubt that would do it justice. The limit is everything in the state, and your pledge to pay as long as you're here under their roof.

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Section 22449 is added to the Business and Professions
Code, to read:
22449. (a) Immigration consultants, attorneys, and notaries
public shall be the only individuals authorized to charge clients or
prospective clients fees for providing consultations, legal advice,

application under the deferred action for childhood arrivals program
announced by the United States Secretary of the Department of
Homeland Security on June 15, 2012.

shall be prohibited from participating in practices that amount to

associated with filing an application for deferred action for
childhood arrivals as described in subdivision (a).
(2) For the purposes of this section, "price gouging" means any
practice that has the effect of pressuring the client or prospective
