Cut out the HEALTHY FAMILIES funding for Illegal Aliens and their children...

Get started with that...

The state of California spends more than 10.5 BILLION dollars a year on services for ILLEGALS!!!...Why doesn't our government start helping our own people FIRST for once?!!

Alberto Lozano, a very smug spokesman for the Mexican Consulate in San Diego, told Minutemen demonstrators (on March 13th) that “This has been and will be Mexico.”

So was Lozano referring to the Mexican consulate itself as being Mexican territory, in accordance with the common (though incorrect) idea that a consulate or embassy is foreign territory?

That interpretation wouldn’t make sense even if the consulates-as-foreign-territory idea were true. If it were, Spokesman Lozano would have said “This consulate is Mexican territory”. But he didn’t, he said “This has been and will be Mexico” which sounds exactly like reconquista talk. And it’s certainly not diplomatic.
If this happened in a country whose leaders respected the sovereignty of their nation, this guy would have been expelled. The Consul in San Diego and the Mexican Ambassador in Washington would have been called to account.

Of course, that would be in a country whose leaders respected their nation’s sovereignty, as opposed to ours.

The city has already hiked monthly trash fees from $11 to $26 over the last two years, but that’s not enough for Tony Villar. He wants to increase your trash fee from $26 to $38! This is nothing more than a FINE. Don’t we already pay taxes for trash removal? Why are they double dipping? Send Villar your trash to let him know your sick of being treated like garbage!

Free and public education dictates that ESL learners be afforded the tools that they need for their education. In my profession it becomes very difficult to see things through rose colored glases when you recieve the documents for the layoff of 200+ educators and the demotions of countless others, and thats just the first round. Whats wrong with raising taxes to put California back in the black? Do you realize that California's poulation a tax increase to balance the budget and put us in the black would be equivelent to $100 per year, thats $8.22 per month, $0.27 per day.

Lets get the budget together and then we can concentrate on who is going to replace that idiot of a Governor that calls himself Schwarzenneger!

I don't disagree with you on the deportation part, as a matter of fact I believe that the amnesty that Reagan gave to then illegals was a big mistake!

I don't think that laying off tens of thousands of teachers and classified staff from the school system is going to help California one bit. The dommino effect that these layoffs will create is going to be tremendously devastating, not only to educators but also to commerce that these educators have a business relationship with.
