Illegal Alien Granted Law License
Commentary by Sanford D. HornJanuary 4, 2014
Whose country is this anyway? Has the white flag of
surrender been raised as the illegals continue their march toward brazen, in
our faces, thumbs in our eyes, mockery of American civilization and culture?
Apparently in California, the answer to the latter
question is a resounding yes, as the Supreme Court of the Golden State granted
a law license to an illegal alien allowing him to practice law in the land of
fruits and nuts. This is beyond outrageous.
Yet it’s not as simple as it seems. After all, Sergio
Garcia, 36, a Mexican national living illegally in the United States since he
was 17 months old when his parents unlawfully entered this country, is still
not legally permitted to hire on with a law firm or any other business. Federal
law prohibits illegals from being hired by businesses, as they are obligated to
confirm the legal status of all applicants.
Thank the California Supreme Court for creating this idiosyncratic
quagmire. The justices, in their inimitable stupidity grant a lawbreaker the
right to practice law, but then he is just as quickly handcuffed by the very
system allowing him this privilege. Make no mistake, this is an absolute
travesty of justice and hopefully there will be some way to prevent Garcia from
ever practicing law in California or any of these United States.
The court’s opinion does grant Garcia the right to
practice law pro bono, but is also legally obligated to advise potential
clients of his status, although said potential clients are under no obligation
of their own to confirm the status of someone with whom they enter into a
contract.
“We assume that a licensed undocumented immigrant will
make all necessary inquiries and take appropriate steps to comply with applicable
legal restrictions and will advise potential clients of any possible adverse or
limiting effect the attorney’s immigration status may pose.” This insanity
comes directly from the court opinion. It’s insane because the court makes a
bold assumption that a person in this country illegally will abide by the law,
and we all know what happens when we assume!
Once again, an illegal alien is rewarded in the United
States. In many other countries illegals are imprisoned or otherwise punished.
Mexico itself has some of the harshest laws pertaining to illegals entering its borders, but is more than
just a little cavalier regarding those who would leave that country in search
of a better life elsewhere, even one lived underground.
Yet, once in the United States, illegals are treated to
free medical care, public education, food stamps, driver’s licenses, and other
forms of entitlements simply for being in this country. This, along with the
bastardization of the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution
must stop at once or the United States will cease to exist as the beacon of freedom
it has long exemplified, but instead, descend into third-worldism.
Section 1 of Amendment XIV: “All persons born or
naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are
citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside…”
The purpose of this amendment, ratified July 9, 1868, was
to confer citizenship upon recently freed slaves, not the corruption of the law
by illegal aliens who sneak into the United States and give birth to a child on
American soil. These anchor babies are then considered legal citizens by virtue
of an illegal act that brought their parents to this country in the first
place.
In Garcia’s case, he wasn’t even born in the United
States, yet he managed to graduate from Chico State University and Cal Northern
School of Law prior to passing the California state bar exam in 2009. How did
he even gain admission to these schools in the first place? Did Garcia pay
in-state or out of state tuition? What forms of identification did Garcia
present in school, when taking the LSAT, and the bar exam? Perhaps Garcia is
guilty of perpetrating a fraud upon the state of California, yet he is rewarded
with a law license.
Institutions of higher learning allowing illegal aliens
to matriculate should lose federal and state funding. Schools with the
two-tiered system of in-state and out of state tuition allowing illegal aliens
to enroll are guilty of discrimination against out of state residents who are
citizens or legal residents of the United States.
The United States is long past the time to continue
turning blind eyes away from the insidious pandemic of illegal immigration.
Rewarding criminals for their illegal activities must stop immediately and all
entitlements suspended permanently.
In Washington, DC, both major political parties are at
fault for the perpetuation of the rise in population of illegal aliens, now
approaching 20 million, regardless of official government figures. The
Democrats see illegal aliens as future Democrats for life upon the granting of
amnesty. Republicans, on the other hand, see illegal aliens as a form of cheap
labor in an effort to curry favor with the businesses that hire them without
penalty, making the GOP just as guilty.
While it is politically correct to support keeping
families together, the answer is to deny illegal aliens any and all
entitlements in the hopes of self-deportation. Keeping families together is an
excellent idea – in their native countries. Come to America the right and legal
way with a desire to make America your home, a better place than it was, and
not just a place to steal from those citizens and legal residents paying taxes
to support your demands for something for which you are not owed or entitled.
We the people of the United States must be vigilant in
fighting for what is right, moral, legal, and just. Otherwise there will be no
United States to welcome legal immigrants who arrive with a dream and a desire
to thrive in the greatest country on earth.
