IS IT OKAY TO DRIVE DRUNK IN COSTA MESA IF YOU'RE AN ILLEGAL ALIEN?
The CM PRESS has noticed that the CMPD has frequent DUI/paper checks on the Eastside of Costa Mesa but almost never any on the Westside or in the north part of the city.
Is that why the CMPD seems to cite so many people with names such as Smith and Jones and so few with Hispanic names?
Is the CMPD purposely fishing where the citizen fish swim and not fishing where the illegal alien fish swim?
And, what about MADD--Mothers Against Drunk Driving? What's their position on illegal aliens driving drunk since the Alcohol Policy Group in Berkeley, Calif., says that "Hispanic drivers are more likely than Anglo drivers to consume more alcohol more frequently and have been shown to be more likely than Anglos to drive with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level over .05 percent."
Well, according to an article in the Washington Times, MADD seems to have been infiltrated by La Raza and has even sent out a letter warning a woman whose group is called "Mothers Against Illegal Aliens," that she can't use the words "Mothers Against."
If you want to let MADD know your feelings about this (be sure to read the full Washington Times article first), here's their Web site: http://www.madd.org/
The CM PRESS believes that the CMPD should start holding DUI/paper checks on the Westside and in the north part of Costa Mesa and it should start doing this as soon as possible.
Also, the CM PRESS has repeatedly told the City Council that drivers are constantly running the red lights on Baker at Mendoza, especially in morning and afternoon rush hours, and that these red light runners are often blowing through the red lights several seconds after they turn red. So far, we haven't seen any additional enforcement in the area.
Come on City Council, take action. Let's get drunks and people without drivers licenses, insurance or registrations off our streets, no matter who they are.
