The National Language
The Senate has passed a bill to declare that English is the "national language." The bill, however, would have the same legal effect as declaring SPAM to be the national canned meat, daisies to be the national flower, or purple to be the national color, which is to say, "none." As the L.A. Times explained: "The GOP-backed amendment, which passed 63 to 34, would allow the government to continue to offer publications and services -- such as bilingual ballots -- in languages other than English." In a related story, French was declared "the language of love."The U.S. Senate is not willing to pass separate bills on sealing the border and amnestizing people already here illegally. Rather, Senators want to tie the unpopular amnesty bill -- oh, pardon me, I meant "pathway to citizenship" bill -- to the popular "seal the border" bill.
Are there any loyal Republicans out there care to defend your party on this? You have control of both houses of Congress, and the Presidency, and this is the best you can do?!
As for Bush's and Hillary Rodham's claims that American workers are just too lazy and fussy to work hard, the L.A. Times reported that a company called Diversified Landscape Management, in Riverside, is supposedly eager to hire guys to shovel dirt at $34 an hour, but can't find Americans to do the work. Assuming a 40-hour work-week, and a 52-week year, that's $70,720. Does this story smell funny to anyone else, or just me? Anyway, this is supposedly proof that illegal immigration is necessary to keep the economy running smoothly.
The DWP apparently had to pay one illegal alien over $100,000 a year to get him to work for the company. Immigration authorities arrested eight allegedly illegal aliens while they were working for the company. They were from Mexico, El Salvador, the Philippines, Ethiopia, and Nigeria.
[Note for those too young to recognize the pictures above, one was from a recurring skit on Saturday Night Live about a million years ago, called "News for the Hard of Hearing." Another was from a Woody Allen movie called "Bananas" -- he actually used to be funny -- in which he became the dictator of a banana republic and had an English-to-English translator.]

45th district race
“What you should do is look at our qualifications,” [Popp] said. “And if, at the end of the analysis, you think that I am more qualified, and yet Kevin got the endorsement of his childhood friend and other folks associated with his childhood friend, then what is that, if not a boys’ network?”
The California State Constitution states that English is the official language of the state.
However, thanks to Tony Villar and all his illegals, there is a difference of opinion.
I had to laugh about the 8 DWP illegal employees...one was making over $100,000/yr. Is this why Villar didn't give an equal raise to the AE archritects and engineers. They must have all been US citizens.
I used to be a conservative Republican, but Bush has changed all of that! There is only one party now....with two heads.
I have decided not to stay here and beat my brains out trying to change things. My family and I are moving our business and assets to New Zealand. The entire population is smaller than LA. Plus, I had two live-in nannies from New Zealand who took care of my kids for many years. I love the culture and the fact that there aren't any Mexicans.
The island is beautiful, clean, and untouched by foreigners. We had to pull strings to be admitted, but it was worth the money. We will still maintain our rental properties here in LA, but I can hardly wait til the moving van comes.
My family will be more than happy to leave you all to fight amongst yourselves. I hope you get rid of the Mexicans....it's your only hope.
Don't try to emigrate to Australia or New Zealand unless you have connections. No one wants Americans any more.
Good bye...and good luck!

Remember to file your comments in triplicate.
I am Mexican and half of my family is in New Zealand. I visit every other year. Its' a beautiful island with beautiful people. Especially the Maori culture. See you there.
Mayor Sam why don't you delete those duplicate postings?
ICE should investigate all the city depts. I'm sure if they found 8 in DWP there are tons more hiding behind those city badges.
New Zealand has the good fortune of not sharing a border with Mexico.
The National Language measure is more symbolic bullshit designed to give cover to the Bush/Kennedy/McCain ("banana") amnesty plan. Amnesty failed in 1986 and it won't work now. Bush is just repeating the same damn lies over and over, further pissing off members of the Republican base. The arrogance of this silver spoon moron is astounding. WE'RE NOT FOOLED!! We don't need historically high numbers of 100 to 200 million impoverished people flooding into our country (who won't assimilate) to use as cheap labor and which will be labeled as "diversity." Call Hastert/Boehner etc. and tell them not to cave!
L.A. City Mayor Villaraigosa Fails to Raise Matching Funds to Save 350 Poor Families in South Central Los Angeles From Brentwood Developer
For the last three years, 350 families have been fighting to preserve the largest contiguous piece of open green space in South Central Los Angeles. On April 22nd 2006, Trust for Public had negotiated a 30 day buy option that depended on the city matching 5 Million put up by a private foundation. It appears that the City of LA and the Mayor's office will not match the money and the land will fall to Brentwood Developer.
WHEN: Friday, May 19th, 2006 @ 9:00 a.m.
WHO: South Central Farmers
WHAT: Protest and Press Conference
In the week of May 15 2006, the community was informed that, "Mayor Villaraigosa and his office would not be able to raise the matching 5 Million that he had promised to the community," stated Tezozomoc, elected representative of the South Central Farmers. "The community is in shock. Everyone thought that it was a done deal and now families face a bleak future with the possible destruction of the community farm," stated Albert Tlatoa, farmer. According to the Los Angeles Superior Court Brentwood real estate developer has already acquired the legal right to deploy the Los Angeles Sheriffs department to remove 350 families from the largest urban farm in the U.S. This could happen as soon as May 24th, 2006.
There will be only 3 days to Save the Farm!
WHERE: Location Changed! We will now be demonstrating at the intersection of S. Figueroa St. and W. Pico Blvd. in Los Angeles
WHY: This is a unique opportunity to eliminate park poverty in this highly urbanized, blighted and semi-industrial neighborhood. This site is a singular opportunity to make permanent and public the community and cultural benefits of the green oasis created by 360 families over the years as they continue to grow healthy fruits, vegetables and medicinal plants to supplement their food budgets. This urban garden, once purchased, will remain open space for generations to come.

Known as the largest urban farm in the country, South Central Farm provides food and sustenance to some of the most underserved residents in Los Angeles.

I hope the South LA Farmers don't progress. The organizers have been exploiting the poor families who have been farming for years. They have profited using them and pretending they have their best interest. I even support Antonio for not helping and I usually don't support him. The organizers are a bunch of radical idiots who just want publicity for themselves. They have threatened and evicted over 20 of the original farmers because they wouldn't do what the organizers wanted.
11:12 You're wrong. Villaraigosa has ties with developer. It's in the cards, no way he's helpin S. Central Farmers.
Stop blogging on city time, I pay your check and your blogging here?
Did anyone see the latest crap from Latin American "leaders" (talk about an oxymoron)? They banded together to denounce the plan for a border fence. Too bad these morons can't band together to fix their landfills...uh..I mean, countries.
Mexican President/Jackass Vicente Fox "compared such a barrier to the Berlin Wall." He also said "Building walls, constructing barriers on the border does not offer an efficient solution in a relationship of friends, neighbors and partners. We will go on defending the rights of our countrymen without rest or respite." Can you believe this creep?! Hey, Vinnie, my FRIENDS don't come into my house when they're uninvited and they sure as hell don't use my house as a free clinic, schoolhouse or daycare.
And again I ask, how come he & the other Latin American head honchos spend so much time and energy to ensure a huge percentage of their citizens leave the country? Did it ever occur to them that if they put half as much effort into cleaning up their own filthy backyards, none of us would have this problem.
I hear Fox is coming to town to meet with Antonio. Anyone interested in joining me at City Hall to protest & letting Vinnie and his Mexican Mafia friends know we don't want them here?
Hey Walter, if it sounds fishy to you man, you want to find someone to do it? It'd make pretty good copy and it would prove either your point or the woman in the article's point.
I read that article & noticed that they buried the fact that they start you at $14/hr as "trainee". My co-workers and I have bets going that most never get out of trainee status. Either way I still find it hard to believe she doesn't get anyone but Mexicans applying for the job, I know a lot of people who are still out of work despite the claims of a "strong economy".
But I'd love to see some investigative reporter go undercover & see what happens when they apply for a job with her.
A "trainee?!" To operate a SHOVEL?! I think you found the fish in the story. It would, however, make a fun undercover story. Thanks for pointing out the detail I missed. (I've been banging these things out at night after work to give Mayor Sam a breather.)
My family will be more than happy to leave you all to fight amongst yourselves. I hope you get rid of the Mexicans....it's your only hope.

Good bye...and good luck!
And good riddance.
At least this guy's honest about disliking Mexicans with a passion. What I wouldn't give to see comments like this from the local KFI hosts - it would make their daily rants a little more honest.
DU
Did you see her workers in the field? They were working on landscaping freeway medians and off ramps...sounds like some big dollar state contracts, paying very big bucks again on the public dime......
sick Joel Grover on them.....
Did you see the news yesterday where over 1,000 people were sworn in as citizens. They were grateful and said they love this country. One man said he waited 15 years but it was worth it and illegals should do it legally. One woman asked if I can do this legally why can't they? VERY GOOD POINT

This guy was over the top, but this is the same tactic the ILLEGAL Immigrant Activists use, calling people racists if they are angry with the number of Illegal ALIENS (which they are, as the term Immigrant is reserved for Legal residents).
The first thing that should happen is Interior Enforcement and arresting and convicting employers that employ illegal aliens. That would be much more effective than building a fence. However, the politicians wouldn't do this as it would piss off the business community, who call the shots for the politicians.
To May 19, 2006 12:40 AM:
Cant wait till you leave & I hope your rental property goes down in the next earthquake.
Im so sick of all this immigrant bashing legal or illegal. Face it dumdums, your government is to blame & by association YOU are to blame. The govt and big business is so corrupt, they never wanted to do anything about the borders. Instead everyone blames the folks coming across and getting jobs. Why dont they enforce the laws of hiring in the first place? BECAUSE THEY DONT WANT TO.
Stop blaming the illegals and blame yourself. when was the last time you wrote your govt officials to have the laws changed or HELLO enforced?
its like leaving your wallet open on the sidewalk and wondering why people keep taking your money.
So now everyones crying about amesty etc., idiots, you should have said something 10 years ago when the first one happened...
Instead now you got a loser idiot as a president who not only left the door wide open & sends American jobs overseas as well, now we have this useless war?? when is it all going to stop??
Stop blaming the mexicans for Americans poor choices. They wouldnt be here if they couldnt get jobs. Put the blame where it belongs.
PicoGrl
to PicoGrl - Go fuck YOURself, and please do it from Tijuana. We did NOT choose to let in the Mexicans, and we WILL continue to blame the Mexicans along with the assholes who hire them. The Mexicans who come here ARE to blame - they know it's illegal to come here, they know they're not wanted here, they know they can't afford to feed themselves yet they purposely reproduce brat after brat knowing full well they won't have proper health care - despite the fact they'll be stealing it from the American system - and they know their brat will more than likely end up a gangbanger. They know English is the language of the majority in the US yet they refuse to learn it. They know taxes are what pays for schools, roads, and the basic infrastructure of the entire country, and they use all of these systems freely despite the fact they KNOW they won't be contributing to that infrastructure because they're paid under the table, tax-free.
So screw you, bitch. I didn't ask these jerks to come here. They've played the racism card at every turn, they've stacked the voter deck by out-breeding us no matter the consequence to the community or their own offspring. You MUST be Mexican - you have that same angry, greedy, selfish attitude that comes from across the border.
You're sick of the immigrant bashing? Tough shit. I'm sick of Mexican immigrants, legal or otherwise, forcing their language & culture down the throats of everyone in this country. Notice the talk on this blog is mainly against MEXICANS. That's because I've never seen any other ethnic or cultural group that was as greedy and self-entitled as the Mexican & Latin Americans. Move your own obnoxious ass back to Mexico and let us have our country back.

YOU ROCK, MAN!!!!!!!!!! PICO GIRL NEEDS TO GO FUCK HERSELF IN MEXICO!!!!!!!!
And she needs to take frijole bean with her....plus all the mexicans in city hall. There are many who believe Fabian Nunez is still an illegal. He was born and raised in TJ.
God.....I hate the mexicans.
Fox can take 'em all back to Mexico when he leaves LA> Can you imagine the balls of these fucking mexicans????
GET THE FUCK OUT OF OUR COUNTRY OR WE WILL DO IT FOR YOU!!!!!!!!
