Here is a brief list of those local nonprofits who are working with immigrants (legal or illegal, who knows?)and the amounts of $$ our county and city has provided them: Immigrant Legal Defence Center ($130,000 city of Santa Barbara); 805 Docufund ($370,000 from Fund for Santa Barbara via City of Santa Barbara); La Casa De La Rasa (unspecified support via County) and Santa Barbara County Immigrant Legal Defense Center (unspecified county support). Perhaps these groups would benefit from this knowledge.
1. Immigrant Legal Defense Center - $310K - City of Santa Barbara
2. 805 Docufund: $370K - Fund for Santa Barbara
3. La Casa De La Rasa - $ Unk. - County of SB
4. Santa Barbara County Immigrant Legal Defense Center: $Unk. - County of SB
Tax dollars: $310K, plus two unknown amounts funded by county
Private funding: $367K, allowing a charitable tax deduction?
Does the Immigrant Legal Defense Center funded by SB city taxpayers help obstruct lawful deportations? Or does it help persons here illegally gain legal US status? Or does it protect those with valid legal status from potential government over reach?
Hard to tell from its name "defense" center. Does this group continue the misuse of the term "immigrant" to sweep in both legal immigrants and illegal border crossers?
Thank you, Thomas. I live in Laura Capps' district and when we asked her to stand up for us against the airport's unnecessary noise and flightpaths, she said it's a Federal thing, smiled and shrugged that she therefore can't do anything about it. But if we were illegal criminals, she'd fight the federal gov't for us. So I hope she goes to jail. Sure I'll speak up on her and her co-grifters' behalf. I'll say “Give them the max in solitary.”
Mr. Cole, thank you for laying out the statutory framework and penalties tied to 8 U.S.C. § 1324. I would add that one area often overlooked is the financial accountability of NGOs and nonprofits operating under 501(c)(3) status.
If these organizations are later found to have misused funds—whether by directly facilitating the harboring of illegal aliens or by diverting contributions away from their stated charitable purpose—the IRS should not only review their tax-exempt eligibility but also claw back the benefits given to their donors.
In other words, if a donor received a charitable tax credit for contributing to an NGO that ultimately violated its 501(c)(3) obligations, the donor should be required to pay back those tax credits to the IRS. This would place responsibility not only on the organizations but also on those enabling them financially, ensuring that contributions to unlawful activities do not carry the benefit of taxpayer subsidy.
Such a measure would reinforce both federal immigration law and the integrity of the nonprofit sector by demanding genuine compliance with tax-exempt purposes.
I read this "Immigration" article titled "Federal Immigration Laws on Harboring Illegal Aliens"
by Thomas Cole and I quote from same "Under U.S. federal law, specifically 8 U.S.C. § 1324, it is a crime to knowingly or recklessly harbor, conceal, or assist undocumented immigrants in evading detection" AND "Aggravated Circumstances" AND "Conspiracy or Aiding and Abetting" AND
AND "State-Level Consequences"
So may I ask what happens when this County, this City Conceals a MAJOR IMMIGRATION FRAUD CASE here in Santa Barbara GOING-ON for some 20 years? What happens when it involves the
National Security of the United States? Let me inform you all what happens. NOTHING
Haven't You-All Heard. THERE ARE NO ILLEGALS IN CALIFORNIA.
Best to Move-Out of this State as quickly as You-All can.
Until SOMONE actually Prosecutes SOMEBODY there is NOTHING
And this is EXACTLY WHAT THIS STATE IS >>>> NOTHING

What is the fine line between Rep Salud Carbajal observing a lawful deportation operation, and Rep Salud Carbajal obstructing a legal deportation operation at the recent Glass House Farms pot operations?
Or was Rep Salud Carbajal only offering humanitarian aid.
Fantastic summary of why our state and city officials should be very very careful as they try to destroy our culture and our society with their utopian nonsense. By the way cases of TB, Leprosy and Plague have increased every year since Biden took office, the illegal aliens are streaming into the country bringing a national health care crisis with them as they are completely unvetted in any way. My proposal is we copy Mexicos immigration requirements, at this time you need to become a resident, prior to a citizen, in Mexico you need about $150,000 in assets and an income of around $7500 a month, must take a course in Mexican history, speak Spanish and after all that you can try to apply to become a citizen, I know this because my best friend moved there two weeks ago.
Thank you for clarifying what issues underly local efforts intended to thwart lawful government deportation operations.
As well as criteria that needs to be honored, now that city tax dollars have been allocated to support these local anti-deportation efforts. Color within the lines, folks.
There is a little item called supremacy and the law. Comes from English Law that was derived from the divine right King.
As a Republic with elected representation those sectors of our government have to know that Federal Law rules.
Is it not interesting that when Clinton, Obama, and Biden were in office it was both a moral and legal crime not to knuckle under by the Loyal Opposition (aka Republicans).
Now the cries of bigotry, and you have to understand why "they" steal, kill, and destroy in our country it is excusable. What do you think is the ratio of Anglo crime on all of the other sectors of the nation is in comparison?
Part of the problem is you have entire political factions that have raised the middle finger to English Law, and interpretation of that based upon Law and Custom.
If you decide to move and live here pack, your personal and cultural baggage and learn what made this country. There has to be a reason people flee oppressive Socialism/Communism. There has to be a reason why people run from cultures where honor killings and masks for certain people is fine. Yet when it comes for masks protecting the serve and defend it is a crime.
Here is the door, I'll open it for you. But don't you dare threaten me, and mine and then state "you have to understand" criminals and anti social behavior.
My willingness and tolerance came up very short with the likes of the Black Panther followers who mutinied in my unit, the squatters who demanded to be saved at the cost of lives, and more.
Don't care for the supposed elite, "I am special" since I can sing a song or crack jokes at the history and honor of those who believe Duty Honor Country is not a quaint slogan.
As I said Das, Gregg, Helen, Scott, Gavin, Erick, and the rest "Here is the door, I'll open it for you." Go to Ireland, go to Canada, go to Ecuador, Cuba, don't state how you are going to tear us apart.
I have seen too much to put up with you and yours.

Nothing like funding the Criminals>

Or should I more accurately say Nothing Like the Criminals
funding thier "Partners In Crimes"
To repeat for emphasis:
1. Immigrant Legal Defense Center - $310K - City of Santa Barbara
2. 805 Docufund: $370K - Fund for Santa Barbara
3. La Casa De La Rasa - $ Unk. - County of SB

Thank you for this public service.
Questions to ask our local politicians and NGOs:
1. Should 8 USC 1324 be enforced?
2. If not, should it be repealed?
3. If it should not be enforced, what other federal law should not be enforced?

It seems as if these laws are being enforced about as much as the 65mph on the 101 or anyone stopping at stop signs in town.
