ICE on line 2 ...
March 15, 2018 12:01 AM
The Senate Rules Committee on Wednesday appointed the first undocumented resident to a statewide post, according to Senate President pro Tem Kevin de León's office.
Lizbeth Mateo, a 33-year-old attorney and immigrant rights activist, will serve on the California Student Opportunity and Access Program Project Grant Advisory Committee. The committee advises the California Student Aid Commission on efforts to increase college access for California students from low-income or underserved communities.
"While Donald Trump fixates on walls, California will continue to concentrate on opportunities," de León said in a news release. "Ms. Mateo is a courageous, determined and intelligent young woman who at great personal risk has dedicated herself to fight for those seeking their rightful place in this country."
In a statement, Mateo said she welcomed the opportunity. “While undocumented students have become more visible in our state, they remain underrepresented in places where decisions that affect them are being made," she said.
According to de León's office, Mateo graduated from Santa Clara University law School in 2016 and passed the California bar last year.
She was born in Oaxaca, Mexico and came to the United States with her parents when she was 14, according to de León's office.

I hope she doesn't try to flee from ICE like that other idiot did.

This sounds like La Raza talk.
Nice to see racism cool for one side of the aisle.

She sounds like a high achiever... Just the kind of person we want as a citizen

She sounds like a person who is breaking the law and fully aware that she is....not the kind of person I want as a citizen.

I agree. So let's take a rain check on such appointments until she's able to achieve the important/appropriate status of citizenship.

Well, ICE knows where she is now, so I expect her days are numbered!

Why would someone have to fight when there's a perfectly valid, legal process already in place for those who desire a rightful place in this country?

They take jobs other people don't want

Yup.
Sorry your parents made a shitty decision. I don't blame them for making said shitty decision--I blame the USA for not having the spine to enforce our own laws. The same USA which has afforded you myriad opportunities. The same USA in which you wish to have a leadership position of some official capacity.
The same USA where your appointment is denying a legitimate citizen (perhaps a legal immigrant) the opportunity to lead.
Get in line. Do it right.

Why hasn't she applied for citizenship?
I've yet to see this question answered anywhere
If these people are so great, why haven't they applied for citizenship?

An easier, clearer target for DOJ and ICE.
