California Democrats Move To Allow Illegal Aliens To Hold Party Leadership Positions
CNS News reports that Democratic lawmakers in California have
introduced a bill to allow illegal aliens and non-citizens eligible for
leadership positions within state political parties.
Melanie Arter reports
that "current state law limits noncitizen participation in party
politics, but the bill, SB 288, would change that, letting noncitizens,
including illegal immigrants like Dreamers, serve as state convention
delegates and county committee leaders within the Democratic Party,
which will allow them to be involved with party platform and other
issues." Supporters say that the proposed legislation is about showing welcoming support for all immigrant groups. “We need to continue to send a very, very loud message that we are … going to embrace and uplift and support all American immigrant neighbors,” said Sen. Scott Weiner (D-San Francisco), who introduced the bill.
