Jerry Brown Pardons Five Criminal Illegals To Thwart ICE

California's liberal, progressive, Democrat governor, Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown, has once again told the citizens of California and the federal government that they are not important and he will do what he wants, regardless of the law or possible consequences.

Two weeks ago I predicted that Brown and his followers in law enforcement would begin releasing illegal immigrants from custody to prevent ICE from taking them into federal custody. On Friday, ol' Moonbeam proved me right.

The governor pardoned five criminal illegal aliens who were facing deportation. They will be released to the streets of California so ICE cannot find them. One was in prison for kidnapping and robbery, one for serious assault on his wife, and the other three for drug crimes.

Moonbeam says that they are “changed men” because of their incarcerations and that they will now be good citizens. Except they're not citizens. They're here illegally. And incarceration rarely changes criminals. The recidivism rate is around 67%.

Governor Brown proves on a regular basis that the legal citizens of California are less important than the people who are in California illegally. Yet the people keep re-electing him. It's difficult to understand.

In other news, immigration attorney and frequent guest on the Fox News talk shows, Francisco Hernandez, says that sanctuary cities are non-existent. He says there is no such thing as a sanctuary city. He also says that immigration policies need to change and that the only problems ICE has is their own ineptness rather than the lack of cooperation by local authorities.

Apparently Mr. Hernandez doesn't watch the news. When you see mayors on TV declaring publicly that their cities are sanctuary cities, declaring that “undocumented immigrants” will be safe from ICE in their cities; and you hear the governor of California announce that the entire state will be a safe haven for illegal aliens, that pretty much means sanctuary cities are real.

Hernandez says since ICE has jurisdiction anywhere in the country then there are no such things as sanctuary cities. But when local authorities refuse to hold illegal immigrants for ICE agents and at least one mayor warned all illegals in her city that ICE was planning a raid on a certain day that means those illegals have a certain amount of safety from federal law.

I say arrest that mayor and Governor Brown for aiding and abetting criminals. Make an example of them. The mayor of Oakland has stated she is willing to go to jail to protect people who are here illegally. I say let's give her what she asked for.
