Possible Reasons Why Chief Bratton SUPPORTS Driver Licenses for Ilegal Immigrants of California

It seems like everyone's favorite Police Chief, William Bratton lost a few fans by publicly supporting driver licenses for the illegal immigrants of California.

I think everyone in the City, except the Mayor, thinks this guy is the best guy in the world for the job. So much so, it has left a few people wondering if the Chief has finally "sold-out" to politics. (Say it isn't so!)

So I put in a call to one of my homies at LAPD, who repeatedly clarifyied that he doesn't speak for the Chief; but I think these ARE the points that need to be made, for those hoping for some kind of damage control. But it isn't going to be easy. Because there are some, who at the end of the day, will ALWAYS feel it is wrong to give a legal State permit (driver license) to anyone who is illegal.

But for those who are interested in hearing possible reasons why there IS support for this -- especially since it was already approved by Senate -- here's the pitch:

First of all, although Cedillo intitally fought against it...the licenses will have a big red mark on it, to distinguish it from a regular DMV license (with all membership priviliges, like voter registation and recognized by homeland security as vaild ID for air travel).

And I am told THESE licenses will be a lot tougher to get. You can't just stroll into DMV, fill out a piece of paper, then line up to take your picture: It will require multiple forms of documentation. (Fingerprinting, maybe?)

And the person from LAPD who I spoke with, says the general feeling is that this can truly be a way to DOCUMENT the currently UN-documented. So that in itself can help, whereas the State will have a record of these currently undocumented residents/help ID people who are here.

Then insurance companies can decide to accept these "driver-only" licenses to insure these previously uninsurable drivers.

The Head of Homeland Security has already spoken out AGAINST these licenses, so they probably won't be a vaild form of ID to board an airplane. (A big concern for many, I think. But, critics will say, not now...but next.)

And as of today, they won't be a valid form of ID for voter registration. (But even ZD feels that could easily be next, with people like The Mayor, Nunez and Cedillo in office.

BUT, Sean Hannity told me on-the-air, when I aksed him about it, that Gov. Arnold PROMISES he will veto it. And for the critics, hopefully that's no "True Lie." So all I can add to this is, Arnie and Nunez chompin' cigars together, at the Gov's Brentwood home??? YIKES!

p.s.: A much smarter and more honest talk show host, Mr. KABC feels Arnold WILL pass it, right after he is re-elected.

The explanation the copper gave makes pretty good sense. These licenses would actually protect us FROM illegals by keeping track of them, forcing them to get insurance, forcing them to actually know how to drive safely, and dragging them out from the shadows.

But the palefaces who are quaking in their boots at the thought of the inevitable minoritization of the shrinking majority aren't prepared to let logic and useful public policy win out over their negative, fearful emotions. And they threaten Governor Immigrant with political oblivion if he doesn't veto the bill yet again.

The principle they claim to be standing up for is a mask for Latino-bashing. Anyone who can't see that Mayor AV spends most of every day kissing the copious asses of the shrinking white middle class that still dominates at the polls in order to further his political career is wearing a blindfold or is more of a racist than previously admitted.

Grow up. Your job is to ride the wave, not argue with the ocean.

The reality is that the majority of illegal aliens entered the country without a passport, visa or inspection, and thus are unlikely to be able to provide identity documents that are reliable enough for the DMV to accept as the basis for a driver's license. In most cases, the DMV cannot verify that a foreign birth certificate, license, voter card, or consular identification card is genuine. Nor can the DMV complete a background check that can establish that the applicant is not a known terrorism suspect or criminal...CIS

"I actually had a great time when I paid a visit to the Venice room. Perhaps because I was already drunk and this was just a place we went to lounge and let haze fade away. The 50 year old woman hitting on me certainly brought a chuckle and smile to my face

The Venice room is catchy and it has that certain classic feel to it. Once you enter you get the urge to order a scotch on the rocks, or sweet vermouth with a twist. It just has that classic old school feel, an almost "shining" feel to it.

The drinks are pretty cheap here. I recall ordering a pitcher of Corono and only paying $4.00. There is also a dining room area but was closed when I arrived. They have this way cool old juke box and a bunch of tunes from back in the day.

If you are ever nearby and feel like going back 50 years, the Venice room is the place be."

"The happiest place on Earth," the bartender burbles when he answers the phone. He sounds as if he means it. And when you are in a particular frame of mind, or a few Buds into the wind, the Venice Room may actually be the happiest place on Earth, a dark, fragrant bar with black-light murals from the brush of some homeboy Canaletto: Venice, as seen from the windows of the Doge's Palace, painted in lurid, glowing tones of blue, orange and pink. Gondolas throb with light; murky medieval canals course across the walls of the main barroom, almost vibrating to the thump of the Pat Benatar (or James Brown, or Tom Jones) that blasts from the big CD jukebox. And the Venice Room's happy hour stretches halfway to infinity.

To get to the Venice Room, you cruise south from Monterey Park, past the informal demarcation zone separating the city's Chinese neighborhoods from its Latino ones, and into a part of town that feels very much like Greater Montebello, hard by the Pomona Freeway and just a nine iron north of the public golf course. The Venice Room is marked by a swath of bright neon that looks like something from 1950s Chicago; the small parking lot is filled with pickup trucks and carefully tended old cars.

And of course, the zed-dogg knows this is true because someone (who got kicked off the organizing committee, our didn't get to sleep with the sponsoring organization's PR woman like he wanted to), sent you an "expose" e-mail pissing on the whole thing, right?

And e-mails are NEVER wrong, or vindictive, or retaliatory! Not in L.A. public affairs, anyway.

It couldn't be that the costs for people attending (if they even existed) were only made a bit lower by the city waiving fees, making it possible for the event to happen in the first place.

In most cases, the city can't "waive" enough fees to absorb all the organizing costs, and someone has to pay something. Raise all sponsorships, so it's free to everyone, and you start losing sponsors. Lose sponsors and you have to raise other sponsors rates, then lose more (or go BACK to charging people to attend).

Catch 44 (that's a double catch 22).

You also never know until people show if you can even break even. Who covers the losses if you don't? Not the city, not the sponsors. If you luck out and make a handful of bucks, people say you're "profiting" from the event at city expense (but the organizers, volunteers, bare-wallet community groups are the ONLY one's on the line, if things go into the red)!

How many large-scale community events you planned Dogg-breath?

Go back to the beach, bee-otch! Like that other guy said, you're the "top-doggie" of non-issues, stroked for personal attention.

No offense, MS, but this was supposedly the title of a long-running joke among Pacheco's campaign staff in 2002, when ADV first carpetbagged into the district in order to run against him. He moved into the very last house on the very last street in a little hidden, east-edge L.A. community called Hermon -- you know where the dog parke name riled people up recently. (No kidding, his backyard was technically in South Pasadena).

But that wasn't the joke -- when he first started running (after the move), his staff told one newspaper he had moved to Highland Park (across the river from Hermon), he told another paper he was on the edge of Eagle Rock (3-5 miles from the actual rental), and a third paper printed he had moved to Monterey Hills. So everyone was asking then, "Where in the WORLD. . .?"

Come by the bar sometime MS, I'll give you a drink on the house -- it's in Highland Park, NO wait, it's in Eagle Rock, I mean El Sereno.

For the past several months I have found it interesting that MEAT keeps referring to other contributors as dum dums. Doesn't he know who he works for? Let's take a look at who the real dum dum is. Tony Villar has failed the bar four times. He got thrown out of Cathedral High not for sticking up for his friends in a racial fight against St. Francis, as he claims, but because he got busted with drugs, if he had good grades the good Christian Brothers would have given him a second chance. He flunked out of Roosevelt High. He still brags about his 1.7 GPA at UCLA. And Peoples College of Law, come on! Other notable graduates of this school are Gilbert Cedillo and Maria Elena Durazo, two other wanna be lawyers who routinely failed the bar and fell back into their current positions, just like Tony.

If I recall correctly, those ads highlighted Tony's weak voting record on crime in Saramento. And they also pointed out the whole Vignali affair, the drug kingpin who was pardoned and then Tony later lied about not being involved eventhough he personally sent a letter to the president. What the ads didn't point out is Tony's exensive relationship with Vignali and the person who introduced him to this drug dealer, Ron Martinez, Gloria Molina's husband and Tony's best man at his wedding.

Regarding the transportation stuff, where was Tony ten years ago. Since 1992 Tony has served as Gloria Molina's alternate on the MTA Board. But his only role has been to slide contracts over to Ron Martinez through Frank Villalobos and Barrio Planners. The Honorable Congressman Edward Roybal was able to secure over a billion dollars in federal money to build an East L.A. subway. It took him 30 years of congressional seniority to get this through. It was to be his crowning achievement. Yet, after 15 years, there still isn't a subway in East L.A.. But well connected contractors and their consultants - Ron Martinez - have gotten very wealthy. But my sources tell me a federal investigation is under way since this is federal money and since Cooley won't go after a Supervisor's husband - he knows what happened to Lee Baca's budget when he bucked the Board of Supervisors.

The question you have to ask yourself MEAT is what's worse, the way the Tony attack ads got out or whether their content is true or not. Tony can't deny these attacks, or for that matter the Ricardo Torres' attack pieces. And he never will deny them because then he will have comitted the ultimate sin for a politician, being caught with a bold face lie. Remember, Clinton wasn't impeached for his escapades in the oval office but for lying. Tony can lie to his constituents but he can't lie about his character.

MS, the answer is a definitive, No! Pick up a copy of Attention-Deficit Villaraigosa's up-to-the minute 18-month recap of CD14 accomplishments:

http://www.lacity.org/council/cd14/press/cd14press74926769_01172005.pdf

It looks like he handed his staff the last councilmember's June 2003 transition memo and said, "white-out Pacheco's name, and add the words 'still working on' in front of eveything on the list. Then circulate it to all the usual suspects. They're gullible yocals -- they believed me when I said I wouldn't run for mayor, they'll buy anything!"

BTW, who the heck puts out an 18-month councilmember's accomplishments recap. The usual is at the end of every year (12 months, 24 months, etc.), like a "state of the district" report. Oh, that's right -- guys running for mayor mid-cycle like ADV put out conveniently timed 18-month recaps in the final weeks before the election.

Hmmm, is that then really just "campaign literature" being produced on the taxpayer's dollar under the guise of another "service" to the district.

Most in need of extreme makeover: Tom La Bonge could use a Queer Eye for straight guy

Most likely next chief-of-staff: Cindy's receptionist--for her last two weeks in office when everyone else has jumped ship!

1) If City Hall was Survivor, who would be the last to be voted off the island?
2) Who in City Hall is most in need of an extreme makeover?
3) Which current non-chief of staff has what it takes in the boardroom to be the next City Hall chief of staff?

The last to be voted off the island would have to be: Michael Robertson. The General Services Police Officer @ the Mayor's Office. He is such a nice guy.

The lazyed eyed, Einstien looking guy from the Office of Finance really needs an extreme makeover.

The first to be voted off the island would be Jack Weiss. The last would be Wendy Greuel.

Last to be voted off is ANn D'Mato
The makeover would be Richard Riordan (and have his mouth washed out).
Next chief of staff is going to be Erik Sanjurjo.

Great posting--this is what we want!

Last off island: Sylvia Lynne Hawkins (sp?)
Makeover: Irene Kasmer
Next Chief of Staff: Tony Perez


Last to be voted off: Mayor James Hahn (no one would know he was there !)
Most in need of Makeover: Ron Deaton
(an otherwise good guy and one of the brightest)
Next Chief of Staff: Miriam Jaffe
(if anyone is smart)

Tony hired a bus to take VNE gangbangers and their families to a preliminary gang injunction Rocky has been trying to get on them. Yeah right! He's a hypocrite. Just look at his voting record on crime bills when he was Assembly speaker. He takes credit for what everybody else does. He has a staff that are a bunch of morons. TRUST ME....the recall group will absolutely no problem getting 11,000. In fact, I hear people are calling all day long wanting to help.

Antonio has been telling his constiuents from day one he didn't have any money to help the community. Look at the State Campaign website where he has over $700,000 and see where he donated his campaign money. $40,000 to Neighbor to Neighbor and $1,000 to Housing Authority. Not one penny to CD 14 organizations. I hear people are jumping on the bandwagon wanting to help get him OUT.

Poor Meat, boy are you in the dark. Sorry Tony's association with Steven Yagman is bad enough. Here's a fact, I live in Boyle Heights and Tony took $1,000 from Boyle Heights Neighborhood Council and is asking for money from Highland Park, El Sereno etc. As far as the NBC survey it's obvious to all that Tony put his people on it to change the numbers. The first day with over 400 voting it was 63% to get rid of him. He's a hypocrite re public safety. I know from the horse's mouth his own field deputy that he provided buses for those gangbangers in Estrada Courts. The whole city nows.

LOOK UP THIS WEBSITE AND SEE WHERE ALL HIS MONEY IS GOING. Instead of asking the community for money he should be giving it to them.

It is this type of behaviour that turns people off to government.

The second lie regarding him not having money and recently revealing he had $500,000.00 for his own political ambition will be interesting. If you live in the district and work with any of the groups you know that Antonio and his office lied about not having money since day one. Many groups are not going to like this when they go to the following link, showing all the groups worthy of his support, but not groups in his district:

No one has been hurt more than residents like me who lives in CD14. Antonio has done absolutely NOTHING since he came in last year. You can say what you want about Pacheco however, now all of Antonio's supporters have jumped shipped and now saying they wish they would have voted for Pacheco.

Antonio is nothing more than a crook, liar and egotiscal idiot! You're right when CD 14 residents find out where he spent his campaign money collecting those signatures will be a breeze. The word is already out from Boyle Heights to Eagle Rock.

Before you shut down, can anyone tell me why Adena Tessler consistently gets passed over for promotions, when she clearly thinks she deserves them? Could it possibly be that the powers-that-be see through all the smoke & mirrors?

I like Chief Bratton and like Zuma couldn't understand why he would support the bill cause everyone I know is saying Hell No to Cedillo. After reading different takes on the Chief's stand I totally agree with him. He's right about needing documentation of all these illegals. There's no way now to figure out who they are.

Sheriff's Donors Target of State Probe....The attorney general looks into an advisory group that gave money to Lee Baca's campaigns and offered to assist in department inquiries.
Times...The state attorney general is investigating Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca's Homeland Security Support Unit, a group of local businessmen who volunteered to assist the department with investigations and donated money to the sheriff's political campaigns.

The department has suspended the unit, which had about 50 members, pending the outcome of the state investigation and its own internal affairs review, sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said Friday.

Thank you Zuma that makes perfect sense and now I side with Bratton. Illegals don't want to be documented and found out because many of them are getting aid illegally using different addresses and fake info. This way if they have to provide documentation there's a paper trail. Good one. It is definitely using reverse pyschology.

1. I am not a Republican. I used to be, but I'm not any more. I'm a "decline to state" independent, for reasons explained in my Martini Republic interview. I'm pro-choice, pro-equal rights for gays, and pro-taxpayer.

2. I did NOT remember that the person who made the "report" about my address that day was Alger. I appreciate your pointing it out, as the "report" on my speech was grotesquely incomplete, inaccurate, and misleading.

3. The "report" on my remarks omitted to mention, for example, the part of my speech where I said Republicans needed to stop insulting Democrats, and stop believing that they are stupid merely because they disagree on policy. I stated that policy discussions needed to be much more civil, and one should try to persuade one's opponents, not insult them. I said that the people in both parties actually have more in common than they have dividing them. All of that was completely omitted from the "report," on my speech which, it appears from your posting, was made by Alger.

4. I'm disappointed but glad that you connected the report to the person for me. I could never in a million years trust the author of that distorted account of my speech. The account reflects either serious cognitive problems or intentional misrepresentation, neither of which is a particularly desirable trait in a politician.

5. Just out of curiosity, how in the world did you wind up writing about that, and doing so in the middle of the night? I'm glad you did, but I'm curious...

5:34, the solution isn't to "figure out who they are" - it's to not encourage more illegals to come here by offering them more and more privileges and to encourage them to go back.

They've got a country down south that needs their hard work. After all, if illegals "built" L.A., like Pancho Villaraigosa said, just imagine what they could do with Mexico City. It'll be great. They just have to trust the mayor's wisdom.

P.S. Nor do I appreciate the quotations falsely attributed to me. I never never never used the word "conspiracy" when referring to the L.A. County Republican Party. So when Alger -- if indeed he's the one who posted the original comments -- inserted a comment about conspiracy in quotation marks and attributed it to me, that was another example of a lack of cognition or integrity.

And don't even get me started on Wyatt, aka Tsongares!

There was a news item on the radio Saturday that might teach us something. A good news/bad news kind of story.

Some small town mayor in Georgia had all the illegals living in town kicked out recently. The town's official population is about 750 (I said it was SMALL), and the estimate of illegals was about 250.

Most of the illegals worked at a local chicken cannery, so now the cannery is scrambling to replace a large percentage of its workforce that was removed all at once. They're even getting applicants from the nearby WalMart, since the cannery pays more than the WalMart (so that's the good news).

The bad news is that a number of small businesses in the town have seen their patronage drop by as much as 80%! That's because the illegals spent their cannery earnings in the town's retail shops, and those local businesses, mostly white- and black-owned, are hurting since they were run out of town.

Ironically, one of the small convenience stores is owned by the same mayor who kicked the illegals out. I wonder how long he can stay in business with 80% of his customers no longer around. Apparently his own brother - another of the town's prominent citizens - has criticized him for his decision.

Might there be something the "kick the illegals out" crowd isn't taking into consideration when they go on about this issue? Something like the health of the local and regional economy, and the price of food?

Is this the story you're talking about?

If it is, take a look at the last 3 paragraphs. It's a nice illustration of how the "jobs Americans won't do" just might be "jobs Americans won't do when wages become intolerably low because of the massive influx of illegal labor."
