CM PRESS # 38


THE LIE: IF ILLEGAL ALIENS ARE TURNED OVER TO ICE, THE POLICE WON'T BE ABLE TO GET TIPS FROM THE "COMMUNITY" THAT WILL LEAD TO THE ARREST OF CRIMINALS AND MAKE EVERYONE SAFER.


THE TRUTH: DEPORTING ILLEGAL ALIENS WON'T CUT OFF THE NON-EXISTENT TIPS, BUT WILL DRIVE DOWN CRIME.


If you've been reading the LA TIMES or the OC REGISTER you're aware that Santa Ana, which is perhaps the most illegal alien occupied city as well as the most illegal alien friendly city in the nation (those two things go together), has almost nightly killings on its streets.

This past Sunday, two 14-year-old kids were shot to death on East Camile Street in Santa Ana.

Fourteen years old! The police say that the 14-year-olds had gang affiliations. This is as if to say, "See, your own kids are safe. This was just a gang matter. Don't worry about it."

Well, this is something to worry about. Santa Ana's illegal alien fueled gangs, illegal alien crimes, and other problems are spreading to Costa Mesa. Our schools are failing. Our middle class is fleeing. Our slums are growing. We now have gang shootings on our streets. Gang graffiti is common.

(By the way, there was more gang graffiti this morning (12/20) in Mesa del Mar where Katrina Foley lives. Libs are probably confused about this. Didn't they just spend about $ 200,000 of our money to pave a slum alley near that graffiti? Why didn't that solve the gang problems in Mesa del Mar? Hmmm? Maybe the libs will next suggest we plant some flowers in front of the slum buildings. That's sure to solve the gang problems. )

What do the libs want to do about illegal alien crime in Costa Mesa? They want to give our tax money to some midnight basketball type charities that many citizens believe are part of the problem, not part of the solution. And, they want to make Costa Mesa even more friendly for illegal aliens.

Most intelligent citizens realize that this is going in the wrong direction and will just act as a magnet for more problems for Costa Mesa.

But, what about that lie that opened this column about making nice with illegal aliens to drive down crime? It doesn't work and it won't work.

Here's a quote from a column today on page Local 2 in the OC REGISTER about the shooting of the two 14-year-olds: "As detectives try to figure out who wanted the teenagers dead, they must wade their way through a tight-lipped community snapped shut with fear."

Forget that part about "snapped shut with fear." That's nonsense. There are plenty of opportunities for people to talk to the police anonymously; and in Santa Ana--the most illegal alien friendly city in the U.S., remember--there is no fear of being deported if you do talk to the cops.

So why aren't people coming forward to help the police find the killer of the two kids? Again, the cops in Santa Ana are the new best friends of illegal aliens and won't turn them over to ICE, so why are the non-citizens silent?

Haven't the libs been telling us that we'd better be nice to illegal aliens or they won't help drive down crime (that they cause)? Haven't the libs been telling us that Costa Mesa would have more crime because of a meanie Mayor and his policies to turn illegal aliens over to ICE?

So, how do the libs explain the silence of illegals in Santa Ana? Could it be the libs are wrong? Yup. They are dead wrong. And, their liberal views, which have been in effect in Costa Mesa for at least the last two decades, have driven our city down to levels just above the very low levels of Santa Ana.

But, the answer to the larger question about why "immigrants" don't talk to the cops lies in the fact that there is a different culture at work than we are used to in the U.S. Most people in such cultures just don't talk to the cops or most other government officials--even in their own countries.

It would take too long here to go into all the complex reasons for this and we'd have to discuss anti-European racism that sees most authority figures as part of the European type's perceived innate cultural and social norms (The "You kids get off my lawn," phenomena.) and a fatalism based on religion and other factors, as well as the noblesse oblige racism that often underlies various liberal do-good programs that actually make things worse.

But here's a tantalizer and a dot to connect up if you can: There's a reason why so many pedestrians are hit and killed by cars as the pedestrians cross the streets in Santa Ana, and it's not usually because the pedestrians are unaware that cars use the streets or because the pedestrians are drunk.

There's a correlation between the high pedestrian fatality rate in Santa Ana and the fact that people don't talk to the cops and various other things we see in Santa Ana and increasingly in Costa Mesa. Human beings aren't fungible. If you think they are--if you deny their true humanity--you'll never get things right.

Take understanding from this, Grasshopper.

The cops can schmooze with the "immigration" population all they want and they can look the other way when they come into contact with illegal aliens with no identification, drivers licenses, auto insurance or registration and it's not going to lead to tips--except in rare instances--to drive down our crime in Costa Mesa anymore than it has in Santa Ana.

The way you drive down crime is by making your your city intolerant of crime and by removing the habitats and magnets for a criminal element.
