A bill proposed last week by California lawmakers could grant illegal aliens the ability to serve in Democrat Party leadership positions locally and statewide.
The new bill, SB 288, would allow them to be part of shaping the party’s platform, including serving as state convention delegates and county committee leaders.
Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) told reporters Friday that he wants the bill to send a loud message to America.
