Opposition to immigrant sanctuary spreading in California

SANTA ANA, CALIF. More local governments in California are resisting the state's efforts to resist the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, and political experts see politics at play as Republicans try to fire up voters in a state where the GOP has grown weak.

Don’t worry Illegals Judges have your back , LOL

Good that people are finally waking up and are willing to stand up to the CA gov that wants to protect illegals, but not its citizens and legal residents.

“But this institution was republican, and even democratic. And here not to be misunderstood, I mean by democratic, a government, the administration of which must always be rendered comfortable to that predominating public opinion . . . and by republican I mean a government reposing, not upon the virtues or the powers of any one man - not upon that honor, which Montesquieu lays down as the fundamental principle of monarchy - far less upon that fear which he pronounces the basis of despotism; but upon that virtue which he, a noble of aristocratic peerage, and the subject of an absolute monarch, boldly proclaims as a fundamental principle of republican government. The Constitution of the United States was republican and democratic - but the experience of all former ages had shown that of all human governments, democracy was the most unstable, fluctuating and short-lived; and it was obvious that if virtue - the virtue of the people, was the foundation of republican government, the stability and duration of the government must depend upon the stability and duration of the virtue by which it is sustained.” - John Quincy Adams - "Jubilee" Address, April, 1839

"I am among those who think well of the human character generally. I consider man as formed for society and endowed by nature with those dispositions which fit him for society." --Thomas Jefferson to William Green Munford, 1799.

"Everyone, by his property or by his satisfactory situation, is interested in the support of law and order. And such men may safely and advantageously reserve to themselves a wholesome control over their public affairs and a degree of freedom which, in the hands of the canaille of the cities of Europe, would be instantly perverted to the demolition and destruction of everything public and private." --Thomas Jefferson to John Adams, 1813. ME 13:401

"Every man being at his ease feels an interest in the preservation of order and comes forth to preserve it at the first call of the magistrate." --Thomas Jefferson to M. Pictet, 1803. ME 10:356

"The mobs of the great cities add just so much to the support of pure government as sores do to the strength of the human body. It is the manners and spirit of a people which preserve a republic in vigor. A degeneracy in these is a canker which soon eats to the heart of its laws and constitution." --Thomas Jefferson: Notes on Virginia Q.XIX, 1782. ME 2:230

"To the sincere spirit of republicanism are naturally associated the love of country, devotion to its liberty, its right and its honor." --Thomas Jefferson: Reply to Virginia Legislature, 1809. ME 16:333

"[It is the people's] conviction that a solid Union is the best rock of their safety." --Thomas Jefferson to C. W. F. Dumas, 1791. ME 8:197

"The cement of this Union is in the heart-blood of every American. I do not believe there is on earth a government established on so immovable a basis." --Thomas Jefferson to Lafayette, 1815. ME 14:252

"Possessed of the blessing of self-government and of such a portion of civil liberty as no other civilized nation enjoys, it now behooves us to guard and preserve them by a continuance of the sacrifices and exertions by which they were acquired, and especially to nourish that Union which is their sole guarantee." --Thomas Jefferson: Reply to New London Plymouth Society, 1809. ME 16:360

Perhaps Jefferson's brilliant mind and ability to understand that ideas have consequences enabled him to foresee a time when a departure from principle and what Washington called the "Spirit of Party" would produce a time such as this.

"Unless the mass retains sufficient control over those entrusted with the powers of their government, these will be perverted to their own oppression, and to the perpetuation of wealth and power in the individuals and their families selected for the trust." --Thomas Jefferson to M. van der Kemp, 1812. ME 13:136

"No other depositories of power [but the people themselves] have ever yet been found, which did not end in converting to their own profit the earnings of those committed to their charge." --Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval, 1816. ME 15:71

How dare these racists try to preserve what remains of any quality of life. /s

I was told by a Laguna Beach resident that the Main Beach, the big tourist beach, is now a homeless encampment. Why did LB endanger their bread and butter tourist dollar?

The ACLU took the City to Court and won.

Moonbeam and his la raza buddies have some the best federal judges and politicians that money can buy.

And their best bro obama did his best to stack the federal courts with as many hardcore reconquista socialists as possible.

So at this point, the federal judicial system is completely corrupted, and useless to the rule of law.

General contractors in California are caught in the middle since they profit handsomely by hiring illegals, but also get hit when all their copper plumbing and wire is stolen in one night. A financial burden that eventually gets rolled into the cost of the finished item.

[Yaelle]

This is a great trend. Waiting to see what happens in other counties. Especially L.A.

This isn’t going to set well with Moonbeam.

[Iron Munro]

Will the coming revolution against the Idiocracy start in California?
Will Orange County and San Diego county be the new Lexington and Concord?

[CMailBag]

I believe that DJT Could win in 2020.

[EdnaMode]

This is the main reason Trump won the election. Illegal immigration is a lot less popular than the left thinks.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Why is there a supposition that Republicans have to fire up voters on this issue? Can it possibly be that people just don’t like illegals swarming into the state and consuming taxpayer resources?

[laplata]

You are exactly right. The Reconquista is right on track.

White Democrats may soon see they have a choice: keep voting Democrat and see the US taken over by Latinos who have no particular love for white people....or leave the party.

[eyeamok]

Latinos who have no particular love for white people.

That is an Understatement at best, Here in the Greater Los Angeles area, Blacks and Latino's have been born and bred to hate Everything Whitey, don't worry they hate each other too. They are the most Racist, Bigoted, and vile sub humans on the planet.

A financial burden that eventually gets rolled into the cost of the finished item.

If losses could magically get "rolled into the cost of the finished item" no business would ever go broke or bankrupt.

California contractors (I am one) hire illegals (I don't) for greedy purposes. If hiring cheap labor keeps costs down why is everything getting so expensive?

I recently had about $800.00 in tools stolen. Maybe you could send me some suggestions on how I can "roll the loss" into the price of the finished product.

BTW, I don't care if the sub contract workers speak spanish/Mexican/whatever. But if they send a crew out and NO one speaks English they get run off the job...They do understand that English.

What blew my mind was two days ago, LA County asked people to offer to let homeless people, vagrants, ... live in their backyards!

Wait, don’t be spend TOP DOLLAR here in California to afford a home in the good side of town to protect our sons and daughters?

On call-in radio, I only heard one person who was in favor of it.

Next, probably a tax break to incentivize.
