Each seems to understand who elected them.

[handy old one]

leave your gun outside of the city limits

I thought the border was outside the city limits?

[popdonnelly]

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.

[ambrose]

Each seems to understand who elected them.

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

[Liberty Valance]

Hmmmm, wonder why?

[Nea Wood]

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

Gee. What a surprise. Bye-bye, LA. Hello, Aztlan.

[Afronaut]

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.

[judgeandjury]

Mayor-elect Antonio Villaraigosa said Thursday he opposes civilian volunteers patrolling the U.S.-Mexico border to discourage illegal immigration, putting him at odds with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Gee, no surprise there. Villaraigosa is just looking out for his Latino buddies, the illegal alien lawbreakers.

"It doesn't make any sense for people to take the law into their own hands."

Which law did they (Minute men) take into their own hands?

[DumpsterDiver]

President Bush has called the Arizona volunteers "vigilantes."

I swear, they just have to insert that into every article.

"The mayor [Villaraigosa] has his plate full with the issues facing our city — first and foremost crime, education and transportation," Ramallo said.

And both [Hahn and Villaraigosa] said they did not believe police officers should contact immigration officials when illegal immigrants are discovered during traffic stops or arrests.

So much for fighting crime.

[OKIEDOC]

What do you expect to here out of a liberal Mexifornian.

When enough pressure is applied by Homeland security then this guy will reverse himself and cry another turn.

However a recent poll Hispanics and non-Hispanics taken by the El Paso Times shows that border citizens oppose licenses for illegal aliens by a margin of 65% against and 29% for letting them have licenses.

They favor a law requiring proof of citizenship before registering to vote by a margin of 76% for to 20% opposed.

[white trash redneck]

"We need our Department of Homeland Security, which patrols the border ... to address the issue of security," Villaraigosa, who was elected Tuesday, told CNN.

I've got no quarrel with this statement. Problem is, they're not doing their job.

[GOP_1900AD]

The most radical mayor ever to be elected to a top 5 (in population) US city. This state is slipping even further away.

[goldstategop]

Uh huh. More evidence the Democrats are AWOL on the issue of national security.

(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)

[Torie]

The Minutemen were not carrying guns in their Arizona operation. I just thought I would mention that.

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

"We need our Department of Homeland Security, which patrols the border ... to address the issue of security," Villaraigosa, who was elected Tuesday, told CNN.

I thought he was elected mayor, not governor. Is Los Angeles any where near the border?

Pretentious liberal...

[kellynla]

With 100K gang members in L.A. and the murder capital of America, maybe the mayor should focus his attention on his jurisdiction and let Californians be concerned about the border...senor...

[sweetliberty]

Now there's a shock. < /sarcasm >

[upchuck]

"It doesn't make any sense for people to take the law into their own hands."

Well, Mr. Mayor, as I understand it, these folks are NOT taking the law into their own hands, which implies they are trying to enforce the law. Rather, they watch for criminal aliens and notify the Border Patrol when they see one. What's wrong with that Mr. Mayor?
