      They are urging Newsom to do this. He’s not actually spearheading this. So for once this isn’t Newsom seeking attention.

      California has the largest economy in the country. Much of it runs on immigrant labor.

      Rather or not he personally has compassion for immigrants is another question. But there’s very good reason CA cares about this issue from a political/economic standpoint.
