Controversy over California Democrats' Proposal to Allow UC System to Hire Illegal Immigrants
Democrats in the California State legislature face pushback for proposing a bill that would allow the University of California system to hire illegal immigrants for state jobs, with criticism from Reform California Chairman Carl DeMaio. The bill, AB 2586, is seen as an outrageous idea by DeMaio and violates federal employment laws. The University of California opposes the bill due to legal risks, and previous actions in California have included giving driver's licenses to illegal immigrants and providing unemployment benefits.
