Brilliant! Bass has just incentivized a whole lot of people to stay home
and live off handouts. All they have to do is claim that they're worried
that they might be picked up by ICE at work (or on the way to or from
work) so they need to stay home. Will these people even be vetted to
determine if they are illegal? Somehow, I doubt it since that would be
painted as racist or something: "you have to believe all claimants" just
like we were supposed to "believe all women". What stops people who are
not illegal from claiming that they are worried about being picked up by
ICE so they are staying home too?

 I've asked the same thing about Newsom's free cradle-to-grave health care for
illegals.
 Why should I keep paying for my own health care insurance?
 Since there's no way to document illegal alien status [they're called
'undocumented' for a reason by the PC crowd; indeed, it's deemed to be
'racist' to even inquire into legal status and healthcare providers are
prohibited by law from doing so], why couldn't I just go to a hospital (or to
MediCal) and just say I'm an illegal and ditch my health insurance, saving me
thousands/year?
 Same for Newsom's "0 down, 0%" home-buying program for illegals: how would
they know if I showed up and asked for my interest free home loan, whether I'm
an illegal or not? By definition, illegals don't have documentation of their
identity, status, or nationality, so what's to stop American citizens from
taking  advantage of all the free shit they're throwing at illegals?
 

If the healthcare providers don't check this - and it sounds like they are legally prohibited from doing so - then I have to believe that some opportunists are already pretending to be illegals just to save on health expenses. It can't be that hard to fake a foreign accent and insist you are undocumented....
If you wanted to go down that path, just pretend to be Canadian. Most Americans can't tell an American from a Canadian by their accent so you won't have to change the way you say anything unless you have a distinctly American accent, like New York, Chicago or Deep South.
In fact, it might be brilliant strategy if EVERYONE pretends to be undocumented to get free health care. It would soon put pressure on Newsom and his supporters to set some boundaries on who can make these health claims.

I predict it won't be more than a year or two before we see a bill  introduced
into the state legislature to make it a crime to impersonate an illegal alien
or a vagrant for the purpose of acquiring all the benefits, freebies,
handouts, and legal immunity from prosecution that they're afforded.
 

I don't see how they can do that without also providing some way to definitively prove that some is or is not undocumented.

As an aside, I saw an amusing bumper sticker on the way to dinner last night:
 "I like my guns like Kamala likes her voters: Undocumented"

Good one!

 

I don't know how Bass survived shitting the bed with her "leadership"
during the fires but surely this should justify a recall....

 She's latched onto the whole anti-ICE thing like a pitbull on a 2-year-old.
She seems to think it's her path to reelection after the whole fire debacle.
She may be right, given the constituency that actually makes up a significant
percentage of the L.A. electorate.
 Just watch how animated and full of fire and energy she is when she's on
camera complaining about ICE and sticking up for illegal alien lawbreakers,
and then compare it to the energy she displayed during and immediately after
the fires, where she mostly sat silently and morosely in the background of
press conferences and gave 'no comments' whenever she couldn't duck the media
entirely.
 If only Bass could find the same vigor and vim for American citizens that she
shows for illegal aliens.
 

How is it that the voters don't make that same connection? You can't be the only astute observer in California!
