State Democratic lawmakers this week announced an effort to extend health care, legal rights and business protections to immigrants living in California illegally.
Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins of San Diego, and Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de Leon of Los Angeles were among the Democrats who proposed 10 bills. They call their effort the "Liberty and Justice" package.
The package includes a bill by Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez of San Diego to protect immigrants from scams. Other proposals include expanding Medi-Cal coverage and establishing an office to help immigrants living in the state illegally with naturalization services.
Andrea Guerrero, executive director of Alliance San Diego, told KPBS the state could lead the way in immigration reform with this package of bills.
This is a welcomed package that supports, protects and integrates immigrant families, Guerrero told KPBS Midday Edition on Thursday. We cant afford otherwise. Its humane. Its compassionate.
But Joe Guzzardi, national media director for Californians for Population Stabilization, said offering protections would encourage more illegal immigration.
The reason the immigration system is broken because none of the laws have been enforced, Guzzardi said. Were totally opposed to the bills. Its another outreach to illegal immigrants. Its another reward to illegal immigrants.
The state majority's effort was announced the same week a federal judge refused to lift a temporary hold on President Barack Obama's executive action that would protect millions of immigrants from deportation.

Immigration reform supporters are celebrating a decision by Emory University to provide aid for undocumented students.
Emory University now offers scholarships to students who qualify under Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals guidelines.
The university released the following statement:
"...As a private institution, Emory will use private, non-governmental resources to offer university scholarship support to these qualified students, beginning with the class entering this fall."
Andy Kim, a senior at Emory and co-founder of "Freedom at Emory," says this decision is long overdue.
"I didn't see it being fair that my peers who were smarter than me, and qualified to go to school were not able to," Kim said.
D.A. King, an anti-immigration activist, tells Channel 2 Action News he disagrees.
"I think emory has made the predictable decision to reward illegal immigration to demonstrate how morally superior they are at the cost of people who have obeyed our immigration laws," King said.
State rules bar undocumented students from attending some of Georgia's top universities.
The rules also prohibit immigrants without legal status from paying in-state tuition at other schools.
