1160, is a common sense approach to improving the safety of residents on California
roadways and strengthening homeland security; and

and into the process and will weed out criminals and help law enforcement track them; and
WHEREAS, SB 1106 strengthens immigrant responsibility, civic participation and
citizenship; and
WHEREAS, the Immigrant Responsibility and Security Act provides for a higher
processing fee earmarked towards funding citizenship classes and background checks and
a signed affidavit saying they will pursue citizenship; and
NOW. therefore, be it resolved that the City Council of the City of Baldwin Park does
hereby support the passage of SB 1106 and urges the State Legislators to vote in support
