What have organizations and politicians in California done to help legal immigrants? Unless you count making it harder on those immigrants and citizens who follow the law.
"Acting ICE Director Thomas Homan responded Wednesday to criticism from California's Democratic senators, who expressed concern over his agency's increased enforcement of immigration laws in the Golden State.
Homan said if Feinstein and Harris are worried about his "scarce resources," then they should direct local officials to cooperate when criminal aliens are in detention at county jails.
He said by failing to keep criminal aliens in custody, state and local officials are making it more dangerous for ICE agents, who then have to go looking for the offenders. "I didn't think these senators were in the business of enacting laws they didn't want enforced. I'm enforcing the laws they enacted," said Homan, pushing back on the narrative that ICE is conducting indiscriminate "raids" targeting minorities.

Governor Jerry Brown’s decision to sign SB54 and make California a sanctuary state for illegal aliens – including those who have committed crimes – will undermine public safety and hinder ICE from performing its federally mandated mission. The governor is simply wrong when he claims otherwise.
ICE will have no choice but to conduct at-large arrests in local neighborhoods and at worksites, which will inevitably result in additional collateral arrests, instead of focusing on arrests at jails and prisons where transfers are safer for ICE officers and the community. ICE will also likely have to detain individuals arrested in California in detention facilities outside of the state, far from any family they may have in California.
Ultimately, SB54 helps shield removable aliens from immigration enforcement and creates another magnet for more illegal immigration, all at the expense of the safety and security of the very people it purports to protect.
