Strange isn't it? The biggest clue as to whether somebody is in the country illegally is poor English language skills. And we have illegals from many African countries or countries with African descendents like Haiti. And we have illegals from Asian countries like China. All easy to spot because they don't speak English and they don't seem to care about it. They are all completely unembarrassed about speaking at top volume as if everyone speaking English were just humbled servants, obliged to stand by and listen.

But according to the outspokent opponents, its all about racial harrassment of hispanics. Nobody else. Don't they see how this is bound to backfire? Don't they see the racist end of the road for this argument? Nobody is speaking for any of the other illegal immigrant groups of non-European origin. And what about illegals who speak perfect English who are of European origin? These should be easy targets too. But they won't change their shrill dialog for anyone or reason and that's to be expected.

Hemet's resolution on Arizona immigration law already in works
A resolution that supports Arizona's illegal-immigration law could be ready for a City Council vote on June 8, Hemet City Manager Brian Nakamura said Thursday.
Tuesday, the council, at the behest of Mayor Eric McBride, directed staff members to write the resolution. Nakamura has already worked on a draft and is sending it to department heads for comments.
The Arizona law requires police officers who have reason to believe a person they contact is an illegal immigrant to work with federal authorities to determine their status.
Hemet would be one of the few California cities to formally support the Arizona law. Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego, among others, have taken stands against it.

Hemet has their hands full with the mexican gangs.

Aside from Hemet, Costa Mesa has joined in support of Arizona and so has Yorba Linda.

Maybe it might be more productive to, instead of protesting what Los Angeles (The mexican city) is doing, to start pressuring other cities to support Arizona.

I think that is the logic behind going to Arizona this weekend.

I mean pressuring California cities to support Arizona, not just going to AZ to show support, but presenting resolutions of support to individual California cities.

I would love to go to Arizona. I can't. My situation has grown immeasurably WORSE since it was just business considerations and hours that prevented me from going anyplace. It's now so bad, I can't even go out to dinner or a freaking movie for crissakes. I'm lucky to be able to make a grocery run.

When I go to Arizona and I will go. I'm not coming back. It will be a permanent move. So, if you know anyone who wants to buy a dog grooming shop, point them this way.

Don't do just one thing, do everything you can think of doing.

That LA Supervisor meeting yesterday really did get under my skin. I have posted that I am purchasing ALL my taxables out of LA County and that is just the start. I will not make a dent but just maybe others feel the same as I do.

We do Rimo, although I don't live in LA, I do sometimes go there for work or to visit friends. But I will cut as much of that out and when I have to go there I won't spend one red cent, not for gas or anything. I dislike LA anyway, so it won't be too hard.
