Immigrants' rights.
Summary
Existing law provides that every person has certain rights subject to the qualifications and restrictions provided by law. This bill would provide that a person without legal authority to reside in the United States but who has continuously resided in California since January 1, 2007, shall have the same rights and responsibilities that are afforded to any other legal permanent resident in this state pursuant to the California Constitution and any other state or local law or regulation, if the person is in compliance with certain requirements. The bill would require the Governor to seek certain federal waivers in that regard.
