HUNTINGTON PARK (CBSLA.com) — Huntington Park may become the first city in California to appoint two undocumented immigrants as commissioners on city advisory boards, a lawmaker confirms.
City Councilman Jhonny Pineda has picked Francisco Medina to join the health and education commission and Julian Zatarain for the parks and recreation commission.
The 32-year-old lawmaker told CBSLA online producer Deborah Meron that he promised voters while running for office that he would create more opportunities for undocumented residents.
"Huntington Park is a city of opportunity and a city of hope for all individuals regardless of socioeconomic status, race, creed, or in this case, citizenship," the councilman said in a statement. "Both these gentlemen have accomplished a great deal for the city. For that, on behalf of the city council, mayor, and our city, I want to say thank you to them both and I am confident they will do an excellent job on their commission posts."
Pineda says he cleared the appointments with the city attorney, who confirmed there's nothing that requires a commissioner to be a registered voter, a documented citizen or even a resident, which technically means someone here without legal residency can serve.

You would think that would be illegal.  I almost laughed when I realized misnomer.

In the real world, it is illegal, but this is Ca, a lib Utopia, where denial is key to existence.
Like being on a sinking ship. (A reverse pessimist angle to the "half empty, half full glass of water analogy)
A lib sees the boat as half empty, so how could it be sinking, while a Conservative sees reality, where one wave will swamp it.

The State of Ca is waiting for that one wave, fiscally speaking, while libs ignore reality and continue on with their making of Utopia.

Why not just give Mexifornia back to Mexico?

Technically, it already is!   I keep waiting for it to fall off into the ocean....

There is a point that shit starts rolling down hill so I am told.   

This is simply a middle finger to all those criticized sanctuary cities after the Kate Steinle murder.

Pineda stresses that the two appointees would not be paid – federal law prohibits that – and that they will have no power to determine city policy.

Ahhhhh...the liberals love that slavery mentality. Work but don't get paid.

Another liberal slavery mentality is plan parenthood. Lets sell unborn black baby body parts to the highest bidder. Hint hint Pocahontas this isn't the 1850's anymore.

This just further legitimizes illegal immigrants. If they can sit on a city commission and advise politicians why can't they vote?

A local voter should file a lawsuit against this Councilman...  JMHO
