This is nothing short of a miracle.

efforts to further integrate those living in California illegally into civic
life.
This issue should have never been considered, let alone voted upon in any legislature.
One cannot imagine what would have happened should this bill had been signed into law.

Disgusting.
Now check out what Brown wrote in rejection of this terrible law:
these forms of public service — is the better path,” Brown wrote in his veto
message.
SB 174, said the citizenship requirement for state posts originated with anti-Chinese
immigrant discrimination in the 19th century and eliminating it would allow the
state to better serve its diverse communities.
BULL–SH*T!
I am sickened how the Brown Supremacy movement taking the plights of other ethnic groups to justify their lawlessness.
Chinese migrants in the United States did not break into the country.

Lara said the veto is short-sighted. “If people have earned
the opportunity to serve through their experience and talents, we should invite

barrier will eventually fall.”
Ricardo Lara's hateful disregard for citizenship was worse than short-sighted. It was criminal and unconstitutional.

Brown commented:
concerned that it may have unintended consequences,” Brown wrote in his veto
message. He referenced the “sanctuary state” law, passed last year, which
tasked the California attorney general with developing guidelines for limiting

Prudent path? Really. All this talk about "paths" is really interesting. All of a sudden, Jerry Brown is not rebelling against the federal government. How does anyone of us explain this change of heart?
Final Reflection
So, why did Governor Brown do the unthinkable and do the right thing?
Here are a few ideas:
of the non-stop fires. Any more poking in the federal eyes could have
jeopardized lots of concerns.
raids and more deportations (which I am OK with)

elect a GOP slate.
