What do you expect when a city like Santa Barbara spends tax dollars to make major improvements to the area where illegal day workers wait to be hired? They not only added bathroom and eating facilities, but they made lines on the new cobblestone area so the workers could que up for a more organized method of getting the jobs! Capps, (who I am very thankful to because she was the only one who responded to our pleas for assistance when my disabled Vietnam vet brother was being jerked around by the VA and subsequently died) isn't going to do anything about this problem because no one else is doing anything. I remember when they had paddy wagons that use to go down to that area and round the illegals up and ship them back to Mexico. That hasn't happened in many years. Now they make them as comfortable as possible and encourage their illegal behavior!
On the other hand, not all that long ago they made a sweep of a Chinese Restuarant in Santa Barbara and rounded up all the illegal Chinese working there for deportation and held the owner accountable. There is a major problem, not only in Santa Barbara and the rest of the county, but in all of Southern California. Although my husband's family has been in Santa Barbara for generations and I was there since my school days, we are now happy to be in Minnesota away from the crazy politics of California.
This is Democrat Jane Harman's district, and Democrat Barbara Boxer's district. Neither one of them will speak up about this. The people are outraged, but the school district will only say that we must provide schools for the children, few of which ever graduate from high school.
