Immigrant fights to become California lawyer

You have enough money to go through our school system, but not enough money to become a legal immigrant? I hope the California Supreme Court says no and continues to say NO. How can you trust someone to uphold the law when at the very same time he's breaking it? I'm quite sure he would also fight for more rights for other illegals here.

"Congress wanted political accountability," Justice Ming Chin said in expressing doubt the court could grant Garcia his license without a specific law enacted by the state Legislature.

Justice Goodwin Liu said it was "commonsensical" that Congress meant to include lawyer licenses in the law.
