In college, he was an activist in Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán (MEChA) - a Chicano separatist group with a Communist underpinning.That historical mix of third world demographics (in this case by invasion), Communism and party junta elitism comes to America.He went to Cuba in the radical Venceremos Brigade to help Castro's Communist revolution.
He then went to the "Peoples College of Law" (dedicated to producing public-interest lawyers) and failed the bar exam four times.
He then followed with 15 years as an SEIU organizer.
Viva Comandante Villaraigosa!
This is typical of Latino dictators. Wall themselves off from the third world sh*thole they have created.
In the U.S., walls are often prohibited because of zoning regulations. When I pinned down a local zoning expert on why walls were prohibited, it was not for esthetics or crime control. It was so zoning officials can see what you are doing on your property.
Zoning is all about power. The Mayor, in this instance, is just showing that he has more power than his neighbors.
Oh, this is so rich — with hypocrisy.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is surrounded by millions of his own peeps. He needs no security.
Somebody start a sale on 7 ft. ladders, to make the point!!
Hillary didn't care about all of that. Villaraigosa was Hillary's 2008 latino outreach advisor.
=======================================
Hillary stupidly pandered to illegals by tapping Viilaraigosa as her Hispanic outreach advisor, and installing Patti Solis Doyle as the campaign's chief strategist.
Solis is the ninny who patented Clinton's failed "inevitability" strategy.....that backfired into Hillary's 10 straight caucus/primary defeats. Solis finally got fired---too late. The damage was already done.
Over the course of her political career, Solis Doyle developed a horrendous reputation........insisting upon signing off on even low-level decisions, such as where to hold a minor event and whether bagels or donuts should be served.
She was reportedly brutal to staffers who tried to circumvent her, and she is not shy about reminding others of her position. When dispatched to Iowa headquarters in the final month of campaigning, Solis Doyle demanded that, in preparation for her arrival, walls be erected around the section of the giant bullpen where she would be working.
That marked The End of Solis Doyle.
Embedded security devices = broken glass bottle shards embedded in the top of the wall.
Keeping it real, Amexican style.
If a Republican mayor of Los Angeles tried this, he’d have a dozen lawsuits on him by lunchtime and the crews doing the work would be served restraining orders by city, county, state, and federal authorities by 1:15 pm.
The V guy is doing what all the rich and middle class in latin america do. They build big walls around their houses to keep out the riff raff.
No doubt the V guy is not in favor of a wall at the southern border.
A wall for me, but not for thee.
Rank hypocrisy.
Liberal politicians like Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi, etc. build a fence or wall around their estates, but yet they say it won’t work at the border.
I’d love to see a reporter interview one of these guys and ask they why they build a wall around their own property.
