California Democrats want a 'sanctuary state' for immigrants here illegally. But those who are felons should be sent packing

Democratic politicians want California to be a sanctuary for immigrants here illegally. OK. If they’re hard working and obeying the law, fine.

But if they’re thugs? Call the feds and boot their butts back across the border.

That’s my view. And it’s also the opinion of most sane people, I suspect. Even Democratic office holders must think this down deep. So why is it so hard for them to say it?

Being mushy just makes Democrats easy targets — not only for the hotheads who are constantly riled up about all illegal immigration, but ordinary citizens who may be sympathetic toward struggling undocumented families, but wonder why California seems to tolerate the few hoodlums among them.

I'm under the impression that clearly violent criminal illegals are already kicked out and the entire drama is over the majority of the hard working ones that already lived among us for years? Rethuglicans intentionally equate the two because they want to get rid of everyone who isn't likely to vote for their party.

The emphasis should be on protecting hard-working undocumented Americans who pay taxes and don't commit felonies.
