Since California has a state income tax, can they grant California only EAD's on the basis that if they don't then the state would lose it's state income tax from DACA people or something?

I know it's just grasping at straws at the moment, but so was the AB60 driver license before it became a thing. Also if California does end up passing that statewide sanctuary law, maybe a statewide EAD could be a possibility. It would be an interesting State vs Fed issue to discuss.

Who knows. It may be a possiblity... I think California leaving the United States is also another possibility. Just look at Brexit, CalExit might become true if we continue to see what Trump has unleashed in such a short amount of time.
