Los Angeles mayor-elect Antonio Villaraigosa said Wednesday that Mexico will play an important role in shaping his policies, reports Mexico's EL UNIVERSAL Online.
"We are starting a new era. Instead of closing the borders, as stated by Schwarzenegger, we should look at our border as an opportunity," Villaraigosa said. "This is a time of great importance, not just for us to rediscover our roots, but looking to create a mutually beneficial relationship," added the city's first Latino mayor since 1872.
The top L.A. Democrat lamented that the recent passage by Congress of The Real ID Act would prevent illegal aliens from getting driver's licenses if signed into law.
"Politicians in the United States need to understand that immigrants come here for the same reason that immigrants have always come: To work," Villaraigosa told EL UNIVERSAL. "Instead of punishing and demonizing them, we should try to integrate them."
Villaraigosa also told EL UNIVERSAL that he would not support policies that persecute the city's large migrant population.
"I support Special Order 40 [prohibiting police from making migration-related arrests]," he said. "We need our police officers to fight gangs and organized crime. That will keep them more than busy."
Hell NO, I don't want her here. Obviously, she belongs back in her beloved Lebanon, so she can continue railing about Israel, Jews and Christians.
But, more important to me, dear wardaddy,...lol.. just how many banks do you own? :)
LOL.....I wish.
I guess I could have put that better...."one of the many banks I owe money to"
That is because he was that gang's best friend in the state legislature, voting NO after NO on any legislation that cracked down on gang behavior or punishment.
I used to think we could still turn this around. Not anymore, it's lost. Even my most liberal friends say LA is now a lost cause.
Do you know if his parents were US citizens or at least legal immigrants or was he an anchor baby of illegals?
Moving east won't help. We have to stand our groumd and demand our elected officials do their jobs. Or get out.
In our dreams.
My response would get me banned.
So, for those of you who know what kind of language would get me banned, I just screamed out the message, but I did not type it.
If a tree falls in the woods...
LOL, I know, I was just razzing her..she wants to move here one of these days. You all have your hands full out there..I wish you all the best!! Take it to em!!!!
LA Mayor: Mexico Will Shape My Policies ^
Mayor-elect Antonio Villaraigosa will be shaking his policy conclusions using our President as his example.
I think he should be considered as a fine example of another sorry assed, NWO, Republican politician whose primary desire is to carry America to Hell in a handbasket.
Villaraigosa is a democrap.
He's acting like a Republican that I know of!
"And not in any legal or organized way", the mayor added. /sarcasm
I now have some new ammo to use when the pubbie call asking for my money. Thanks.
That was sort of a chilling chat you had there in the bank ... . but not surprising.
Coincidentally, I'm acquainted with a Lebanese Christian lady. She was born in Connecticut but has many relatives in Lebanon and travels there every two years. She's politically ultra conservative, but doesn't care about the illegal alien issue here in L.A. or anywhere in the U.S. for that matter. So, I think you're spot on when it comes to allegiances.
Have a look at my profile, scroll down. My pedigree is pretty good, with ancestors in this land since @ 1732. I'm a farmer at heart due to my Pennsylvania Dutch heritage, and a fierce fighter, yet spiritual, due to my Irish heritage. I love this land, my country, my home sweet home. But L.A. doesn't look anything like it.
It is scary.
16 years here.
I think she came at age 7 or 8.
These folks don't want to assimilate.
They want us to move over.
...or maybe roll over.
...into mass graves one day.
Un-nerving to see such a beauty....young and blindly fanatic...right here.
I really liked Dan Lungren. He went all out to enforce 187 and it got squashed by the Raza legal dream team. He was my first big Republican vote, for Governor.
Took you advice two months ago to the day, Anna.
Have you and your family headed for the door yet?
