Teabaggers launch California ballot measure campaign that targets immigrants

Good news for the Teabaggers, the Minutemen and Santa Ana’s “Usual Suspects.”  The California secretary of state’s office on Tuesday authorized a signature drive by a tea party activist to put an Arizona-style immigration law before California voters, according to the Sacramento Bee.

Called the “Support Federal Immigration Law Act,” the proposal was submitted to state authorities in September by Michael Erickson, a tea party activist in the Bay Area city of Belmont and former chair of the Sonoma County Republican Party.

The measure would require state and local law enforcement officers to investigate the immigration status of anyone they lawfully stop and “reasonably” suspect may be in the country illegally. It would also make it a crime for illegal immigrants to seek work while concealing their legal status and for employers to “intentionally or negligently” hire them, according to the L.A. Times.
