In the course of reviewing documents in the EIR lawsuit, attorney Michael Stamp and his client Pat Bernardi noticed, at the bottorn of some city reports, a the billing code for the law firm Lombardo & Gilles. Previously, Bernardi and Stamp had prevailed in a 2000 case against Monterey County, in which the same law firm was found to have "ghost-written" documents that were passed off as the work of Monterey County staff. Believing there to be a similar pattern now with the city of Monterey, Stamp and Bernardi filed a public records lawsuit against the city, which prompted then-assistant Monterey City Attorney Deborah Mall to call Stamp "that molting amphibian" in an e-mail.

ARIZONA'S new immigration law is reminiscent of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, which barred people of Chinese ancestry from coming to the United States. Those already here - many of them having built the Pacific Railroad - also had to carry papers around at all times.
Californians could start paying higher taxes when they make purchases over the Internet, but only because they should have been paying more all along. Assemblyman Mike Eng, D-El Monte, may have been inspired by conversations with his wife, state Board of Equalization member Judy Chu, when he authored legislation to improve the state's tax collection on purchases over the Internet. Shoppers are supposed to pay a use tax when they make purchases from out-of-state vendors who don't have stores in California. But current law says shoppers can report the tax liability to the BOE or "elect" to report it on their income tax returns, suggesting paying the tax is optional. Eng's legislation would clarify that such reporting is required. The bill was passed out of the Assembly Tuesday and has mov...

This week's unveiling of the birthright-citizenship legislation marked the beginning of the next crusade for illegal-immigration hawks and signaled a call to arms for Democrats. But it led business- friendly Republicans in the Arizona Legislature into a political minefield. Dozens of Republican lawmakers, including a host of first-year legislators, now face a career-threatening quandary: arouse the wrath of grassroots Republican activists by voting against the birthright-citizenship bill, or buck the business interests who help pay for their campaigns and have cautioned against another round of immigration legislation.

PLEASANT HILL, Calif., June 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Do you know that there was a law called "Chinese Exclusion Act"? Do you know what kind of suffering the law caused to tens of thousands of hardworking human beings? The Chinese Exclusion Act (CEA) passed by the U.S. congress in 1882, and amended many times excluding Chinese from immigrating to the U.S., restricted the rights and activities of Chinese residents in America. It constituted a clear and significant abuse of the U.S. constitution and denial of the fundamental American values to these immigrants. After the initial passage of the CEA in 1882, there were almost no new Chinese immigrants allowed to the U.S. Chinese in the U.S. had little chance of ever being reunited with their families or starting new families here. Because of the C...

For many Asian Americans, and especially Chinese Americans, the current debate about birthright citizenship is a debate our community already knows. That is because the vast majority of Asian Americans would not be U.S. citizens today save for the U.S. Supreme Court's 1898 decision in United States v. Wong Kim Ark, which affirmed that the birthright citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment applied even to U.S.-born children of Chinese and other foreign nationals who were legally barred from naturalizing. Thus, as a legislator, an immigration attorney and a descendant of Chinese immigrants, I am saddened and alarmed by the vitriol surrounding the birthright citizenship debate and the current push to strip away citizenship from the children of undocumented parents.
