A 2018 law aimed to ‘Trump-proof’ California on immigration. What has it accomplished?

LOS ANGELES — Two days after Donald Trump won the 2016 election, California state Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de León canceled a flight to Germany and called his executive staff for a meeting.

They began to dissect the myriad ways Trump could “seriously hurt Californians” through policies and actions on the environment, freedom of choice and immigration.

The framework for landmark legislation on immigration — Senate Bill 54 — was born a few weeks later.

“We knew that we needed to do something to protect immigrants, and it wasn’t just something on a social media platform or a hashtag,” De León recalled. “We needed something with real teeth.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Doesn't Mejifornia have a law where people can steal up to $100 of product from a store and not be prosecuted?  If they still have it, a person could steal from 5 grocery stores in a day and eat quite well.  It also wouldn't show up as a crime which may be one reason the crime rate doesn't appear to have gone up. :pondering:
