It seems that California has commenced on yet another end run around the Constitution with AB-2624 –the \u201cStop Nick Shirley\u201d act, just signed by the Werewolf of Sacramento (\u201chis hair was perfect\u201d).<\/p>

This act is directly aimed at Shirley for his work in exposing fraud involving immigration activists, health care, and education in both Minnesota and California. Going from office to clinic to \u201clearing center,\u201d Shirley exposed dozens of operations that were basically fronts for funneling millions \u2013 at times tens of millions \u2013 from government programs into the pockets of various con artists, many of them illegal immigrants. The total amount uncovered thus far amounts to nearly $230 billion.<\/p>\n

The DoJ has commenced investigations into the Minnesota allegations, largely involving Somalians (and some even associated with Ilhan Omar), with some early success. But as for California\u2026<\/p>\n

Never a state to allow anything to get in the way of the exploitation of taxpayers, California has taken a different tack. Instead of busting the fraudsters, the Cali state government targeted the man who was attempting to expose them. The mental gymnastics necessary to justify this presented no challenge: California Democrats simply recast the fraudsters as victims.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a very scary time. Right now, our immigrant service providers are living in fear, because of the work that they do.\u201d So asserted Mia Bonta, Democrat assemblyman and the author of AB-2624 (She\u2019s also the wife of Cali AG Rob Bonta, but that\u2018s just a coincidence. Seriously. There\u2019s nothing to it. Don\u2019t even look at it.)<\/p>\n

The bill is simplicity itself, merely outlawing the publication of the addresses of \u201cimmigrant service providers.\u201d (Feel free to pause for a moment to wrap your mind around that truly Californian phrase.) But consider how open-ended it actually is. What, exactly, is an \u201cImmigration service provider\u201d? That\u2019s not at all clear, though I suspect that it\u2019s anybody who has anything at all to do with immigration. (Many of the conmen taken down by Nick Shirley were not, in fact, directly involved in immigration.) What does \u201cpublication\u201d mean? Same thing \u2013 it means whatever they\u2019re pointing at when they say the word. This bill pretty much allows anybody to be arrested for anything involving immigration. Recall the FACE Act (Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances) passed using the exact same class of rhetoric (one article claimed that it was necessary to stop activists from \u201cbothering pregnant women\u201d) but evolved into something that justified arrests of anybody praying within several blocks of a clinic.<\/p>

There used to be a thing called the \u201cBill of Attainder,\u201d a legislative act aimed at a single individual that was widely used in monarchies to punish critics of the crown. These are expressly banned in the Constitution (In Article 1, Section 9, Clause 3). Yet here we are. This is yet another example of the left, unable to win a political argument, going all out on sleaze tactics as an alternative.<\/p>\n

Why are they so desperate to stop Shirley, you ask? I\u2019m sure I don\u2019t know, but as a wild guess, I would imagine that it\u2019s because the Dems are getting a nice cut of the proceeds, as with Minnesota, USAID, and any other scam you\u2019d care to name.<\/p>\n

Republican state rep Carl Demaio has called for the DoJ to step in, which is fine, but that will take time \u2013 it\u2019s not as if the DoJ has nothing else on its hands.<\/p>\n

So my suggestion is that Nick Shirley double down. Continue doing what he\u2019s doing \u2013 knocking on doors, questioning shifty \u201cimmigration service providers,\u201d publicizing the results, and challenging California to do something about it. I see them backing down. You really think Gavin is going to cosplay as the West Coast Big Brother while scheming for the presidential nod in 28?<\/p>
