Only in California

Only in California would the State Bar Committee argue in favor of granting admission to the Bar of an illegal immigrant. http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/06/19/12298380-california-bar-illegal-immigrant-should-get-law-license?lite 

 As an attorney, I find this ridiculous. 

 As part of the Bar screening, one must pass a moral character review - how does one pass such a review when one is knowingly breaking the laws of the United States? How does one take the attorney's oath, which starts out as follows: "It is the duty of an attorney to do all of the following:

(a)   To support the Constitution and the laws of the United States and this state.

      (b)   To maintain the respect due to the courts of justice and judicial officers."  http://www.calbarxap.com/applications/CalBar/PDFs/code_section_6068.pdf

Now, how does one take such an oath when one has been and is still breaking the laws of the United States of America?  And, if one does take such an oath, while breaking US immigration laws, isn't one then lying under oath?  And if one lies under oath, does that then raise the question of one's moral character?  If it doesn't, it certainly should.

Why is this country rewarding illegal behavior with "perks" and benefits for which US citizens must pay into the system and/or fight?
