It's incredibly funny that you guys are missing the point of why this law is so troubling. The law is taking away the rights of business owners too chose if they want to comply with ice agents.
If a ICE agent comes to a business owner without a warrant and request too enter you have a right too say "yes or no." California has basically taken that right away. You have too say "no" or the California goverment will come down on you.
Actually, I think you "guys" are actually the ones missing the point.
An employer does not have a *right* to give away your (the employee's) personal information to anyone who requests it. That is the employee's personal information, and belongs to them. Go look at HIPAA laws, they are the same thing.
The Federal government should not have the right to just comb through all American's personal information on the off-chance that they may catch someone doing something illegal. If you think this is viable, then you are opening yourself up to things like periodic home inspections, monitoring of your bank account, etc etc etc., in the interest of 'protecting' you against criminals/terrorism/etc.
This is what CA is saying - unless the Feds have a specific reason (warrant), then they can't spy on ordinary citizens. I don't get what is so controversial about that. Do you think your bank, your email, your social media, your doctor, should all be able to just give away intimate details of your life to anyone that asks?
