L.A. Mayor Garcetti Welcomes Illegal Aliens, Upsets Homeless Activists
Breitbart ^ | 16 Jul 2014 | ROBERT WILDE

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti is welcoming illegal immigrants who have crossed America’s southern border to Los Angeles, saying the city is an appropriate place to reunify children with their families. On Tuesday, the Los Angeles Times reported Garcetti aims to house immigrant children who were detained crossing the border and has begun talks with the Department of Health and Human Services about the plan. The mayor reasoned that L.A. was a good place for sheltering the illegal aliens because their parents are probably in the Los Angeles area. Notably, in a forum hosted downtown by Politico Magazine, he said, “Before you get partisan, before you tell me where you are on immigration -- these are children.” Garcetti, apparently channeling former Florida governor and presidential aspirant Jeb Bush, told the crowd, “As a father, who are we as Americans if we don’t step forward first and say, these kids who are isolated, alone… let’s get them someplace safe and secure,” the mayor told the crowd. The mayor in his outreach to the aliens has upset homeless activists in Los Angeles, claiming that their needs should come before the needs of illegal immigrants. CBS Los Angeles reported that homeless activist Ted Hayes, who has lived in L.A. for three decades, adamantly opposes the idea of taking in the aliens. “It’s kind of a slap in the face to U.S. citizens,” Hayes said. “It’s embarrassing. It’s hurtful. Because it’s like a father saying that he loves children outside of the family more than he loves his own. We feel for them,” Hayes added. “We feel their pain. But we are feeling pain of our own children first.”

Democrats think the money supply is endless. They think they can legislate and tax themselves out of any problem.

They are too stupid to realize there is nothing infinite about oppression. Eventually, they are all undone by those they oppress.

Democrats know very well what they are doing.

“During the 1920s and 1930s Los Angeles was a bastion of Anglo Protestantism, reflecting the values of Midwestern parishioners who had been carried to the Southland on the Southern Pacific Railroad. Well into the 1970s, Protestant denominational leaders enjoyed comfortable, influential ties with the city is still-strong “downtown business
establishment,” which itself was largely Protestant.

The Immigration Act of 1965, however, created the condition for a radically different religious future for the City of Angels-a future that would anoint Roman Catholicism as the area’s dominant religious group. Today Roman Catholicism is the single largest faith tradition in Los Angeles County, with 294 parishes and 3,631,368 adherents.
Among Christians, 71% are Catholics. Between 1980 and 1997, Roman Catholicism experienced a 36% growth.”
