Mayor-elect Antonio Villaraigosa said Thursday he opposes civilian volunteers patrolling the U.S.-Mexico border to discourage illegal immigration,

That didn't take long...

There isn't a thing wrong with keeping out illegal immigrants. What is wrong with this country? Is there another Western nation that allows anyone to cross their borders? Why is it a scandal for this country to do so? Something has obviously happened to common sense.

Villaraigosa won't be happy until he's living in Alte California, Mexico. I'll never understand some people's zeal to turn this state into the same kind of corrupt pit that Mexicans have been risking their lives to flee.

Yeah, and what about Bush? He and Antonio are ideological soul brothers, when it comes to immigration.

"leave your gun outside of the city limits

It is. This just shows what an incredible idiot the new mayor is (but hey, he's the right color and that's all that seems to matter). And how exactly would he like Homeland Security to "address" this security issue? More lip service?

This is one of the issues that the President and I disagree on.

How many people know that Villaraigosa is a made up name? It's a combination of his surname (Villar) and his wife's name Raigosa.

Glad I will be Dead in 30 years or sooner. I am so angry at what our elected leaders have done to the America that I once knew. It has become a bad drugstore novel.

Tony Villar doesn't sound nearly as ethnic as Antonio Villaraigoas. Same as with Geraldo "Jerry Rivers" Rivera.

This mayor is as weak on illegal immigration as hillary clinton who says it isn't the fault of illegal aliens they come here looking for work.

Hillary Clinton voted for the ag bill sponsored by craig of idaho.

The ag bill would have allowed all illegal aliens who are working here to become permanent residents within a year.

Hillary Clinton is weak on illegal immigration just look at her voting record.

Bush just signed the real ID act which Hillary railed against saying how unfair it was and antonio would never have signed something like that.

Bush signed the bill which would allow for the wall to be completed south of San Diego. Under Bush U.S is using predator spy planes to track illegals which the aclu is against. Under Bush illegals are now flown inland instead of dropped off at the border like they were during hillary and bill's time. Bush is a million times stronger on illegal immigration than hillary or antonio. Is Bush perfect no, could he use better language yes, but bush is still much better than the alternative.

The dem enviornmentalists are against a wall on a large part of the southern border.

LA is already a "sanctuary city," which puts out the welcome map for illegal aliens. It's the city the Denver cop killer fled to. Now, it will be even more of an illegal alien haven under "Mayor Mecha."
