Sen. Alex Padilla posted Sunday that America needs “a pathway to citizenship for immigrants who have spent years working hard, paying taxes, and strengthening our communities.” He called it a pathway. It’s amnesty. It rewards people who broke immigration law and stayed. Padilla wouldn’t make excuses for someone who broke into his house and then stayed for years. He shouldn’t make them for people who crossed the border illegally or overstayed a visa and then stayed for years. Having a job and paying taxes doesn’t erase the original violation. It compounds it. People who get away with breaking the law once tend to do it again. Describing that as “strengthening our communities” is gaslighting. Amnesty tells the next wave that the rules don’t apply if you wait long enough. The only reason Padilla wants to send that message is because California keeps losing residents and his party wants to replace them. That approach has already driven people out. It will keep doing it. Padilla should instead be calling for policies that bring residents back and make California more affordable. Lower taxes, cheaper gas, and cooperation with deportations are the straightforward options. He has gone all-in on amnesty instead. Padilla isn’t turning back.
