Calif. city bars illegal immigrants from renting
Local authorities in Escondido, California passed a controversial measure on Wednesday to prohibit landlords from renting to illegal immigrants, a law which opponents say is racist.
The city is the latest of several from California to Pennsylvania which have passed laws in recent months to deny access to housing or jobs to illegal immigrants in their communities.
The ordinance requires landlords to hand over documentation on their tenants’ immigration status to city authorities and evict illegal immigrant tenants or face penalties including suspension of their business licenses and fines.
Food shortages? First time I heard that one…if anything the US has TOO much food as we’re all obese.
Also oil, in case you haven’t checked it lately, is at the lowest point in over a year now. Suppose that’s being tied into some conspiracy theory about how Bush is doing that to stay in power blah blah blah.
Housing market has ups and downs all the time…trying to tie something that has regular cycles into a “gloom and doom” attitude helps no one.
War on terror, yeah, that’s a mess. I’ll give ya that one. Glad you told us as we forgot all about that…
But I’m not buying this “oh, if we got rid of all the illegal aliens in the US, the entire country will collapse” line I’ve been hearing over the past few years. No one knows for sure…all they can do is guess and run simulations and everyone says they’re right and everyone else is wrong and where does it get us?
No Swedish, Canadian, Chinese, Pakistani, Peruvian, Turkish…OR Mexican Illegals….
Yes, how racist.
To Mr. Fusion a.k.a. Karl Marx:
A. I don’t want to be a member of YOUR society which equates to Communist Russia.
B. I don’t call cops, a.k.a bureaucrats with guns that abuse people’s rights.
C. As for fire departments I rather support local volunteers.
“What jerks like you don’t care about is that being a member of society has it’s costs as well as benifits. ”
Ok, you can pay for me all you like. Thanks sweetie. 😉
#20 – Fusion old bean, the government is an illegal monopoly. Bla bla bla. Gigglety wigglety goop. Gugga wugga wooga woo.
The Montana Freemen called. They want their bullshit rhetoric back.
“When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
after all I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
after all I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
after all I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.”
Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984)
Now, do you guys see a resemblance? If the politicians can get away with this anti immigrant laws, with what else will they get away with?
They might as well order them to wear a tag on their arms to identify them and then force them walk on the gutters when a citizen of the USA needs more sidewalk walking space.
The next thing will be large ovens to get rid of the criminals.
This is a great story. It’s good to see people are finally getting smart about illegal immigration!!!

Thats just silly. We would only do that to the really bad criminals.

Only the excess.
#35, why do I get the feeling you are very shortly going to be a guest of some Sheriff for awhile? Make sure your white sheet, you know the one with the eye holes cut out, is nice and clean for the arraignment.

Halloween IS coming up you know…
#42, so you expect to be arraigned on Halloween? Quick, send out the terrorist alert. So we may all be prepared.
What a major jerk.
Fusion, I think they’ll be coming after the communists first. *wink-wink-nudge-nudge*
If you think this is wrong, then I think you shouldn’t have the right to know who is a release criminal, irrespective of what their crime is.
We don’t allow fellons to vote or own firearms, is this racist?
Is it racist to not assist the other one billion people that would like to come here and live on welfare?
Is it racist to arrest a black man when he commits a crime, after all his forefathers might have slaves?
Is it racist allow Muslims to pray in our public schools when Christians aren’t allowed the same right?
The entire term racist is simple used by one side or the other nowdays to try and win an argument, it really no longer means anything when putting a criminal in jail or denying individuals that broke federal law by entering illegally a driver’s license or apartment is called racist.
Yes you can rent to whomever you want, but then society has the right to take your appartment or house away from you just like we do for any other criminla activity under the RICO laws. If you feel you have the right to rent to whomever you want, does that give you the right to deny a rental to a minority, not if you want to keep you property under federal law.
