WILL COSTA MESA GET SMART BEFORE ONE OF OUR COPS IS KILLED BY AN ILLEGAL ALIEN?

After a cop was killed in the city of Scottsdale, Arizona, by an illegal alien, the city started a policy of asking everyone they stop about their citizenship status. Those who are suspected of being illegal aliens are turned over to ICE.

By asking everyone the same questions, the city is avoiding charges of profiling people because of their race or ethnicity.

Costa Mesa City Council, how about protecting our cops before there's a similar tragedy here?

How about taking the reasonable and responsible actions of Scottsdale?

Here's a LINK to the AP article about this.

SANTA ANA WANTS IMPROVEMENT?


Over at the Register, Steven Greenhut is upset that citizens (laugh out loud) of Santa Ana aren't upset about a plan to improve the city's central core that is full of industrial buildings.

Here are a few of our thoughts about this:

1. Does Greenhut even live in Santa Ana? Probably not. If he did, he might want the city improved. There are almost nightly killings in Santa Ana and the schools are at Third World levels.

The only thing keeping Santa Ana alive is the fact that it is the county seat and has government buildings there. In fact, you can find many of the "gentry" in these government buildings during working hours. In the evening, the gentry leave and take their money and buying power with them to safer communities. Santa Ana apparently wants to find a way to keep the gentry in the city.

2. To be clear. Why aren't there more "citizens" upset? Ah, because there aren't many citizens still living in Santa Ana, and those that are still there are probably all for improving their city. Maybe, Greenhut's column should have asked why more illegal aliens in Santa Ana aren't upset about this plan that will impact them. The answer, of course, is that most of them don't want to come forward and possibly be deported.

3. Santa Ana, unlike Costa Mesa, does not have upscale Newport Beach and the ocean right next door which will help Costa Mesa improve. Being inland, Santa Ana's plan may fail all on its own. Would you want to live in Santa Ana? Would you want your kids in school there? Would you want to be shopping after dark there?

Here's the LINK to Greenhut's column.
