Who loves the National City, CA Police?

Question

"NATIONAL CITY – In response to Mayor Nick Inzunza's declaration that he wants National City to become a sanctuary for illegal immigrants, the city's police union stated that its members will continue to comply with state and federal law and not fall prey to the “political whims of a misinformed politician.”

During Tuesday night's City Council meeting, Dennis Leach, president of the National City Police Officers Association, read aloud a letter addressed to the council, city manager, city staff and “conspicuously absent mayor.”

“The National City Police Officers Association will continue to advise its members that the political whimsy of one individual does not and will not influence us or deter us from our official duties in regard to the enforcement of the law,” Leach said.

Inzunza was absent from Tuesday's meeting, although he was in the office earlier that day. It was the first council meeting since his announcement of the sanctuary plan Sept. 8.

Anti-illegal-immigration activists, who are planning a rally in the city Saturday, say Inzunza's proposal to welcome undocumented immigrants is illegal.

Meanwhile, council members are upset that the mayor made the announcement on a news-radio program without consulting them.

Councilman Ron Morrison, who believes there is no need to designate National City as a sanctuary, said the response has been overwhelming.

“It's been taking over our lives,” Morrison said. “I have received more calls on this issue than any other issue in the 14 years I've been on the council

“I have heard the term 'tar and feather' more this week than I have in my entire life,” Morrison said. "

I think sanctuary laws are against public policy and are illegal. What if they decided to be a sanctuary for counterfeiters, or some other category of federal crime?

What do you think?

Nancy, do you have something substantive to offer, or is that all you have?

Answer 1

I think it's a national trend, there've been a lot of former mexican citizens and their american sympathizers that've either gained or tried to attain high office in our country. Mexico would definitely like to extend its' influence inside our borders, they're patient and persistent, I'll give em that. And, it stands to reason, too.
If they can get enough of their citizens naturalized and/or extended the rights and privileges such as voting in our elections,
and economic weight, too, then they'll keep trying to extend that same influence.

Building the border fence and having cities and counties pass anti-illegal immigration ordinances can't come soon enough,
and, if for some reason that should fall through, ultimately they can call the governor for help.

Immigration was a concept that was built around the idea of giving people a chance at a new life, not allowing other countries to vote by proxy in our elections.

Mexico's motives are pretty obvious: They're dirt-poor, can't support their own people, they're having way too many kids for their own economy to support, and they're sending them north
to send back that money. But, it's become a hostile partnership,
and visibly belligerent in some cases. I think we've been kind of blind in our attempts to help countries like Mexico, assuming that if you throw enough money at people, they'll be happy etc.
But, there's a lot of unresolved issues in Mexico, I guess they edit the history they teach their kids or something, US/Mexico war was 150 years ago, and they lost. But, what they've failed to do in the last 150 years is advance, or at least so they claim. It's the usual 3rd world thing: Poor people in our country give 'foreign aid' to rich people in their country. Sad sob story soap opera, chapter 213...put the hungry kids in front of the camera while the drug car drives behind it...

Answer 2

i'm uncertain relating to the protection section simply by fact i've got heard the two the factors approximately protection (agree and disagree) from diverse people who stay in Delhi. although I do agree that girls folk could desire to attempt to evade traveling at previous due nights and wee hours or return and forth with a male simply by fact the potential for against the regulation is extra at such situations. And if we expect of just about how can a police rigidity be envisioned to handle even the distant corners of a city in any respect situations? we would prefer to pump in extra human beings, funds and so on into the police rigidity for protecting the city secure around-the-clock. yet whilst women folk purely take the precaution of traveling previous due night with some male and so on it may shop factors and likewise help shop the city secure.
