 |
|
ESCONDIDO, Calif. - City leaders have approved an ordinance prohibiting landlords from renting to illegal immigrants, the latest in one of many efforts by local governments across the country to crack down on undocumented workers.
More than 100 police officers and sheriff's deputies in riot gear were on hand for the 3-2 vote Wednesday. After the measure was approved, one person ran outside the council chamber and yelled, "The USA wins!" prompting opponents and supporters gathered on the lawn to shout at each other for 30 minutes. Police said no arrests were made.
The American Civil Liberties Union has indicated it will go to court to block implementation of the ordinance, set to take effect Nov. 18.
Councilman Sam Abed, who supported the measure, said it will improve the city's image and reputation, "and certainly our quality of life."

Wow, man. That's not right! The US was formed on the basis of justice and equality for all. This issue is getting out of control.
The US needs to institute or review it's guest worker program fast! Look at all the spinach that was underplanted and the crops that are gonna rot in the fields this Fall due to this crackdown.
I see huge slums being constructed here, food shortages, inflation and chaos in the near future if we don't give at least the hard-working illegals with clean records some sort of protection under the law. |

Sorry but anyone entering the US without permission is a criminal, and b/c they're not US citizens they don't and shouldn't have the same rights that we do.

Illegal alien=criminal
None of them have clean records b/c they're all criminals. BTW,yes some fruit and vegetable rotted in the fields. No one has or is starving b/c of it. Illegal labor will go the way of slave labor b/c that's essentially what it is. We'll find machines to replace them and probably soon. |

Right on the money. The illegals do have recourse. Retrace their steps, go home, and come back LEGALLY. |

| man, imagine if the US had as strict an immigration policy as Korea. eh? You need to bring your American Family History book with you if you want to get a birth certificate for your newborn son. People without 3 generations of US blood in them get rejected. Foreigners can stay for one year if they are registered at the nearest immigration office, and after one year they have to get the hell out or get a $100 fine per day they overstay. Would you consider that "wrong?" Or "injust?" |

| I've spoken ad nauseum about this topic, my view is well known. The illegals have to leave or be gotten rid one way or the other. |

Boy have I been misreading the title of this thread. I thought it said "Renting of Illegals Declared Illegal..." and thought FINALLY someone was starting to deal with the crux of the issue.
Sadly, it was just a misreading.  Back to blaming the victim. |

[Did you know that tax dollars go to non-American citizens? If you want to speak about justice, sometimes illegal aliens who receive health care in public hospitals, go to public schools are using funds meant for citizens.
I do understand why someone would be an illegal alien. If I were in their position, I might do it. They are taking advantage of the corruption of the U.S. government and those in the corporate sphere who were against stemming the flow of illegals. However, it is the responsibily of Mexico to institute reforms to make the lives of their poor better and the same for the U.S. when it comes to their citizens. Illegal aliens are not green-card holders or citizens.
Did you know Mexico and Brazil have a higher standard of living than many African countries? What if 1 million Africans wanted to come to Mexico or Brazil? Do you think they would allow that? The respective governments would go ballistic. |
