Is California going to fight the deportation of violent convicted felons?

California is a sanctuary state, but only for illegal immigrants. In fact, the state is such an illegal immigrant haven that it is considering fighting to keep illegal immigrants in the state even if they are felons.
California sets aside roughly $45 million in grants for nonprofit organizations that “provide defense and other legal services to low-income immigrants and their families.” These funds are used to help illegal immigrants in deportation proceedings. Illegal immigrants who have committed serious or violent felonies are prohibited from benefitting from these funds.

Assemblyman Reggie Jones-Sawyer wants to change that, because violent felons in the country illegally should be welcome in California too. “The Rep for All Immigrants Act ensures racial justice and true equitable access to crucial immigration services for all – not some,” Jones-Sawyer said.
Who needs actual justice, where convicted felons who should not be in the country in the first place are deported with little issue, when we have “racial justice.” If those violent felon illegal immigrants aren’t being defended with Californian taxpayer dollars for their deportation proceedings, then we do not have “equity.”
After all, California already does everything it can to help get violent convicted felons and gang members out of jail early if they are U.S. citizens. Why not extend that privilege to illegal immigrants as well?

As usual, the loser here is the everyday Californian, who is simply trying to pay the bills in the most expensive state in the country while avoiding being killed by the felons that state Democrats are trying to keep out of jail. Even the illegal immigrants who are simply trying to get by day to day in California (you know, the ones who aren’t violent felons) are made less safe by this. California is protecting them from being deported, sure, but not protecting them from being killed by people who clearly should be deported.
Jones-Sawyer is right about one thing: this is what equity looks like. “Equity” in practice means that people must be less safe because members of woke protected classes should not be held accountable for their actions. Illegal immigrants are one of those protected classes, and therefore even the violent convicts among them get special treatment. It doesn’t matter how safe you are, it only matters how “equitable” the dangers can be for everyone.
