COSTA MESA, Calif.—Costa Mesa has declared itself a "Rule of Law" city in a swipe at such illegal immigrant sanctuary cities as San Francisco.
The City Council voted 4-0 on Tuesday to approve the resolution designed to make it clear immigration laws will be enforced and people in the country illegally are not welcome.

O.C. city says it won’t be sanctuary for illegal immigrants
The Costa Mesa City Council approved a resolution declaring it would not be a “sanctuary city” for illegal immigrants — despite complaints from some residents that the vote needlessly inflamed tensions.
The resolution was proposed by Mayor Allan Mansoor, who had become an outspoken critic of illegal immigration.
The resolution declaring Costa Mesa a “Rule of Law City” follows an April news conference in which Mansoor called for stricter regulations to catch illegal immigrants living, working and driving in the city, and his promise to ask for the council’s support.

We need more cities like this.
Other cities are out there, but most don’t have the guts to publicly declare what Costa Mesa declared.
Is there anywhere online that such “RULE OF LAW” cities/counties are listed? I know the Left has “Sanctuary Cities” listed, so we who believe in the “RULE OF LAW” need to start recognizing and supporting each others municipalities! Other than Costa Mesa. CALIFORNIA, what are other Rule of Law cities? What websites list them?
Go Costa Mesa!!!!!!
We are in the initial stages of an all out war, its only going to get hotter from now on. Kudos to Costa Mesa for standing up for the law.
ditto in Spanish.
Bravo city of Costa Mesa, CA
“...despite complaints from some residents that the vote needlessly inflamed tensions.”
Needlessly?
The natural progression of their agenda is that it becomes inflammatory to cite the U.S. Constitution.
This is great, especially given the location of Costa Mesa. I would like to see a “Rule of Law” cities list, too. Guess Costa Mesa isn’t looking to be without 1/4 of its power this summer ;)
As a former Newport Boy, I say BRAVO!!!!!
PIng
I live a few miles from Costa Mesa. The city has a large Hispanic population, which apparently supports the actions of the city.
Kewl!!!
Good for them!
This is where all the zonies will go this summer.
