In #lawschool I often wondered if I was fit to b in #lawjournal, #mootcourt bc not many ppl w/ my same background did. I always went for it bc even if I felt inadequate I thought I could add something of value. I hope to do the same w/ @StudentAidCommission. #undocumentedunafraid

Nothing like appointing a criminal alien to a government committee.

As someone who went thru the legal system to be here and become a US citizen I really don't understand how you can extol the virtues of being here illegally and advocate for more rights and representation for illegal aliens. By definition you are not right with the law.

In California undocumented people are part of the back bone of the state aka the 6th biggest economy in the world. When I see you and your family in the fields in Castroville for 16 hours a day then you can talk. She’s not aiding criminals she’s helping people become educated.

Why haven’t you gone through the proper avenues to become a legal US citizen since you reap the benefits of the USA and clearly appreciate this country more than yours??

Absolutely disgusting to appoint someone to a government position that is actively breaking our immigration laws. How can anyone honestly say that there are no American citizens that are qualified for this position.I doubt u would have been appointed if u were an American citizen

Outrageous. It’s an insult not only to American citizens but also to legal immigrants for CA to promote illegal aliens like you to any office. If there’s any justice left in 🇺🇸

@ICEgov

should make u a priority target for deportation to ur home
