Fresno Mayor Alan Autry waded into a volatile federal issue Thursday in his annual State of the City speech, calling for a two-year moratorium on immigration in order to address the "chaos now masquerading as a border."

Autry acknowledged that he would likely get criticism for his comments, much as Gov. Schwarzenegger came under fire after praising Minuteman Project volunteers who patrolled the Mexican border.

How can a mayor do what an entire nation can't?

[JoanneSD]

We need more people like this, shining the light on this massive invasion...

[Mr. Mojo]

a two-year moratorium on immigration in order to address the "chaos now masquerading as a border."

Excellent idea, but difficult to do when we have a chaos masquerading as a federal gov't.

Long - HOT summer ping.

Head em off at the pass Mr. Autry...

[Happy2BMe]

Political Correctness would be his first conquest.

[Bar-Face]

Damn, Old Alan dun moved up in the world. Last I heard he was a cop down here in Missipp. And a purtty dum one. Now he's th mayor of Fresno, Californy. Shucky Dern.

[tubebender]

What higher office does Mr Autry have in mind???

[Ace Backwords]

Autrey has MY vote. When will the politicians (with all their polls) realize some very simple numbers: 80% of the American people want these illegal immigrants to GET OUT AND STAY OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MamaTexan]

Old Alan dun moved up in the world. Last I heard he was a cop down here in Missipp.

LOL! Me too.

Though I did hear a bit about him running for office.

GOOD FOR YOU MAYOR AUTRY!

'bout time somebody in office spoke out about the d@MN elephant in the living room!

[junta]

Really the left will not be happy till California is not an American state anymore.

PING

[Jim Robinson]

I don't know. Maybe he has his eye on the governership someday. He's a good man. Would like to see him move up.

Plus, it sets a good example. The more local and state politicos stand up like that, the more pressure will increase on those at the federal level.

Unbelievable, what's it going to take to make those in Washington listen?

[Happy2BMe]

The illegal alien invasion from Mexico has to be by design. It is too large and too successful to have been a mistake.

Something has to give sooner or later, too many communities are sinking under the weight.

The "legal" immigration levels into the USA actually should be slightly increased, and ICE should kick themselves into high gear and bend over backwards to expeditiously process all those future "legal" USA citizen wannabees.

Border jumpers, illegal aliens, whatever you want to call the imported slave class and international criminal elements, need to be deported, as of yesterday.

We have laws,just as Canada,Mexico, Australia and virtually every sovereign nation in the world has laws, regarding who and under what circumstances, is allowed to enter, work, and own property in our country.

If our government refuses to enforce those laws regarding non-citizens, I refuse to abide by the governments arbitrary "rule of law" as a citizen.

Chaos? Anarchy?
I can deal with that.
Just don't expect me to pay any more attention to arbitrary "laws" that only apply to people stupid enough to believe we are still a society governed by the rule of law via an elected, representative government.

[Happy2BMe]

What you just described is the way our government is supposed to work . .

"The "legal" immigration levels into the USA actually should be slightly increased, and ICE should kick themselves into high gear and bend over backwards to expeditiously process all those future "legal" USA citizen wannabees.
