Sounds like a good idea to me.

[Regulator]

I'll vote for it.

[John Jorsett]

Whoa. I can't wait for the hysterical reaction to this one. Nativo Lopez might have a stroke.

[Isabelle]

Haynes must be a bigot, anti immigration, Hispanic hating right winger--sarcasm. Great idea. I'll vote for it!

[DumpsterDiver]

Sounds like a good idea to me.

It does sound like a good idea, but where's the money going to come from?

"This initiative establishes a separate and distinct state police force, much like the Highway Patrol, charged with enforcing immigration laws."

The initiative also allows for the construction of new jail and prison facilities dedicated to housing illegal aliens who are apprehended by the California Border Police before they are turned over to the federal government for deportation.

fantastic news, the tide is turning Bump!

[Dead Corpse]

Sounds like an excellent use for...

... the citizen militia.

As envisioned by the Founders. Not the Republic of Texas types. The Governor of each State has always had the option of mustering the militia for drill. Sounds like an excellent opportunity to restore a tradition that should never have fallen out of use.

I used to believe the Federal Government should have two priorities, delivering the mail and protecting the borders. I guess it's time for states to address the border issue now that my mail carrier speaks only spanish.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

I don't agree.This is a job for the federal government.They will come in through AZ or NM or TX and still find their way to California.I think Schwarzenegger should instruct Californians to withhold all income tax payments to the federal government until they do their damn job.

I hope that Ray isn't expecting a Christmas card from the White House this year.

Considering that they just found 41 workers in Tyson Chicken processing to be infected with TB, I think we should again be concerned about this. We are the largest harborer of illegal aliens in this country.

Something needs to be done. The diseases they bring here are NOT curable.

Bump

[BJungNan]

Sounds like a good idea to me.

This proposal is like fixing one crack in a dam while up to your shoulders in water that is pouring in from all the other cracks. If they cross through Arizona or Texas, what is to keep them from coming into California.

This is a national problem that needs to be addressed by Bush and Congress. California will just be wasting money on a seperate effort unless they plan to control the California border with the rest of the U.S. also.
