"We have something more compassionate and humane from the National League of Cities that we would like to see implemented," Councilman Dennis Zine said.
----------
And none of those silly programs worked for the last twenty years... we want them to .work. Councilman. Further Mr. Zine, we want you to be compassionate and humane ..to the American Taxpayers.. who are footing the incredible bill for the illegal aliens. Any chance you could chip in a substantial piece of your retirement to let us know you are real in this effort?
==========
It will make it a crime for millions of workers whose only offense is they want to work and support their family.
----------
Actually, if you do your research Mr. Zine, you would have discovered the illegal aliens seem to think the Americans want them to steal us blind. Their crime waves are incredible and that should be your focus rather than implementing the crime wave. Further, if you had done your research, you would have discovered those Mexican Nationals taking American Jobs could get very good jobs in Mexico. They don't need to come to this country.
Besides pal... these are criminals.. the system is excellent, and we have a chance to clean up the horrendous crime rate in Los Angeles.

If you want to blame someone for our budget crisis in California, blame Mariana Pfaelzer, she's the brilliant judge that kiled prop 187. Want to save California? Put another similar proposition on the ballot and recall judge Pfaelzer as a warning that we don't want the will of the voters subverted by a know nothing judge.

Comment:
Right! they suck our welfare program dry,but send 20 Billion dollars a year back to Mexico!
Source: Inter-American Development Bank, March 2006 report,“Remittance 2005”. Mexico remains the largest recipient of remittances, at over US$20 billion, followed by Brazil and Columbia which for the first time reached over US$6 and US$4 billion respectively. Central America and the Dominican Republic combined to reach over US$11 billion; and the Andean countries totaled almost US$9 billion.
http://www.iadb.org/mif/v2/files/guemez_remit...
As much as 50% of remittances are unreported. As published in the Development Prospect Group Briefing #3, "This amount only reflects transfers through official channels. Econometric analysis suggests that unrecorded flows through informal channels may add 50 percent or more to recorded flows. Including these unrecorded flows, the true size of remittances, is larger than foreign direct investment flows and more than twice as large as official aid received by developing countries."

Why not use the imprisoned illegal criminals to build the border fence?
Yeah, from the Mexican side!

Semper Fi. You are exactly right because on the state and local levels, democrats who are beholden to the wrath of the people actively participate in anti-illegal legislation for the most part.

This is America. There will be hell to pay when we turn the tables. We are the descendants of pioneers and warriors who have been lulled into complacency and our fighting spirit has been quelled. Invaders best beware that something dark and ugly looms just beneath the surface of these mirky waters. I for one don't want to see it happen, but we will only sit by for just so long while our women, chidren, and men are being targeted just because these intruders have been made to believe that they are entitled to the fruits of our labor. Sure they helped build some of our modern structure, but they were compensated. Fair exchange is no robbery, besides, we had men and women who would have done it anyway for a wage that a citizen could live on. The growth that we are incurring at present benefits the wealthy only. It does the citizen no good when the economy grows and his or her slice of the pie has to be shared with newcomers to the point that his or her slice diminishes.

Illegal Aliens and Immigration is NOT the same thing. Immigrant is a legal status granted by a sovereign country. We have to many folks who do not know and are ignorant or outright deceivers, confusing illegal alien workers calling them illegal immigrants with immigrants. Criminals did NOT build America; Citizens and LEGAL immigrants built it. American’s want an end to anarchy! This is NOT a Democrat, Republican, Independent issue. It's an American Issue.

Illegal aliens are criminals, those who hire them are criminals and those who aid-and-abet them are criminals.

Illegal aliens in America have NO rights. We are required by law to arrest and prosecute, deport them.(Title 8 U.S. Code) To report illegal aliens call the DHS National Hotline 1 866 DHS 2ICE.(1-866-347-2523)

No, matter your political party affiliation, and setting aside your thoughts on issues. We all need to remember what it is to be an American Citizen. We need to make sure our elected representatives obey their Oath of Office and keep their Oath of Allegiance. See http://tinyurl.com/2znnvl Know whom you are voting for.

What planet are our councilmen from? Illegal aliens are the scourge of California!! Driving down wages, ruining our school system and health care system, flooding our criminal justice system and many are engaged in a proxy war to reclaim the American Southwest. Add the current effort by illegal alien gangs and their supporters to engage in a ethnic cleansing movement against our African - AMERICAN citizens. Waving foreign flags, turning our flag upside down? There is no loyalty to this country from the MAJORITY of these people!!! End the job magnet and they will go home, hold empolyers accountable, no need for round - ups. Supporters or illegal aliens argue that these are just proud people looking to support their families, BS, if these people were so proud they would be protesting on the streets of their countries, demanding change. How pathetic for a country like Mexico that your number one export is people!! Oh yeah, if there really is such a mass demand for illegal aliens and their labor, then what the hell are all these "Day laborer" centers? These people are unemployed!!! Jeez, and Hilary Clinton thinks that there is no need to make English our national language? Folks we do not need to become another Bosnia! Preserve our language, our culture, our country!!!

In FY 2006, USDA spent nearly $5.1 billion to serve about 8.2 million WIC participants. Hispanics represent the largest racial/ethnic group in the WIC Program. In 2004, about 39 percent of those enrolled in WIC were of Hispanic origin. Approximately 3/4 of the Hispanic infants born in the United States participate in WIC.

He is a Democrat. Do not confuse the readers. The SAVE act is supported and sponsored by Democrats in Congress.
12 out of 235 Democratic congressmen support the SAVE ACT.
176 out of 190 Republicans support the SAVE ACT.
As you were saying?

Read my post above

It's Nancy Pelosi that's keeping the Save Act off the floor for a vote.
You know the Pelosi with an D after her name.

Ok, this group is filled with righteous indignation and ire....GOOD! Now, time to s**t or get off the pot, folks. I urge everyone to demand the immediate resignation of all of their representatives who have proven themselves to be treasonists by aiding and abetting those illegal vermin who have invaded the US and decimated our economy. If the politician in question refuses to resign (and we all know that none of them have enough integrity to submit to the will of the electorate), then the citizens of the US have a duty to organize and remove these political whores from office. Read history: Thomas Jefferson was an advocate of such activity.

You can see where big business shut this down with their puppet politicians. This is why we will continue to have and illegal immigration problem till everyone that wants to sneak across our borders does. The problem in California is the politicians spend money like drunken sailors on all sorts of idiot programs. I'm sure they wouldn't spend their own money like that. Let them be a sanctuary state and there used to be funds will go somewhere else where it is needed and probably put to better use. Heck other states can start deporting to California. Then California can raise taxes on businesses that make large profits off illegals and fill their void.

Great job L.A. Council. NOT! What the heck are you thinking! We need these illegal immigrants to pay into the tax system (just like the rest of us), or get thrown out of this country. I think all U.S. Citizens (Democrats & Republicans) are tired of footing the bill for the rest of the illegals. The illegals (and others..legal citizens), are taking advantange of our public school systems, health care system, etc. Arnold S. is cutting the school budget when he should be throwing the illegals out! I'm all for illegals coming into this country if they sign up to become legal citizens. I'm just not into illegals coming into the U.S., getting jobs from employers (another problem) that pay the illegals under the table, then the illegals turn around and send the money back to Mexico or elsewhere, without having to pay into the U.S. tax system! When they get sick, they run to the local hospital where they have to wait (granted..they have to wait for several hours) for medical care, but they get it for FREE! They don't have to bother getting health insurance. When is this madness with the illegals going to stop?!
