Kevin De Leon: One Illegal Alien, One Vote

State Senate President Kevin De Leon and the Democratic cabal have behaved in an undemocratic fashion for some time.

Four state senators were arrested, indicted, or convicted of serious crimes last year. One, Roderick Wright, did wrong in false listing one address as his own within the district he represented, when in fact he lived outside the district, in violation of the law. Perjury and voter fraud were the charges, and he spent a little over one hour in jail after his conviction then removal from office.

Then there's Kevin De Leon, who is still under suspicion for living somewhere besides his district. Aside from allegations of voter fraud and perjury connected with his questioned residence in his state senate district, De Leon has been carrying water for Big Green and Big Amnesty in Sacramento.

With state senator Ricardo Lara and the "team" efforts of Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins and her Democratic caucus, Kevin De Leon has pushed California further into becoming a sanctuary state for illegal aliens, instead of a prosperous locale for legal residents, born and naturalized, in the United States.

One major case before the Supreme Court, Evenwel v. Abbott, will determine whether Congressional Districts can be determined by counting the living residents within the district, or must count only those residents eligible to vote: i.e., citizens.

Senator De Leon claimed in an op-ed in the Daily News that many of the residents would no longer have any representation if the Supreme Court recognizes "one person, one vote" for citizens instead of anyone:

"I fear that tens of thousands of my constituents will wake up one morning in 2016 without political representation. Chefs, nannies, janitors, gardeners, valets, maids, restaurateurs, writers, artists, social workers, lawyers would lose their voice in the Capitol with the stroke of a pen.

How does Kevin De Leon get elected if all the people who support him, as he alleges, are not even permitted to vote? Is the problem of illegal immigration so great, that the people whom De Leon cares about are in fact not even legal residents? What about them? Do they not count? Or is the US Constitution just a piece of paper with no binding power or enforcement over state and federal legislatures?

What is really at stake here? Politicians like De Leon, and the interest groups which support him, rely on the Amnesty ideology and the lobbies which bolster them. They foresee in the near future that non-citizens will start voting, too, thus ensuring their political power for decades to come.

The truth is that  State Senate President Kevin De Leon mischaracterizes “one
person, one vote” in a brazen, blatantly political, and ultimately immoral and
unconstitutional fashion.
