LA Mayor asks ICE to stop workplace raids, accept fake ID’s from illegals

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who says he represents Aztlan on the City Council, has asked the Department of Homeland Security’s U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to quit raiding businesses to find illegal aliens. He says the federal government should restrict itself to investigating businesses that mistreat workers.

Villaraigosa said "So-called 'illegals' deserve the same wage-and-hour protections as other workers." He added that work-site raids can have "severe and long-lasting effects" on the local economy.

Concluding with his traditional "Viva la Raza!," Villaraigosa argued that the counterfeit documents were actually better than real documents and said he hoped the state legislature would declare the counterfeits as good as legitimate papers.

"Look," said the mayor, "the documentation that some undocumented workers present to employers looks legitimate, so businesses can't tell if they're hiring somebody who is technically 'illegal' or not. As a matter of fact, the documentation of these undocumented workers often looks better than the real thing.

"Phony drivers' licenses, for example, frequently have photos that don't look like post postmortems, and Social Security cards don't look like they've been through the wash three or four times," the Mayor said

  1. Shame on you Mayor V. - you are laughing in the faces of the U.S. citizens of ALL RACES AND COLORS - CITIZENS being the operative word here! How dare you say that we should overlook fake i.d.'s and that illegal workers should get paid regular wages! How bout l;et's start by making it expensive to hire illegals with hefty fines to the employers.....and then offer those jobs at a decent wage to AMERICAN CITIZENS REQUIRED TO SPEAK ENGLISH! You are a thread short of committing treason against this country. You should resign becasue your interests are biased for the illegal immigrant and agaisnt the U.S. citizens. I move that you step down immediately, as you have forsaken the good people of this city!

  2. Obviously the mayor is more concerned about Mexico and it's people, than he is about America and her people. And since that is the case, he should be recalled. Unless all of those people living in that city are illegal Mexicans, in which case the police and ICE should have no trouble finding them. Has the mayor proved his legal status?

  3. I think that the so called mayor should be deported with the illegals. Maybe Someone should check his credentials.

  4. I agree he should be deported. It is not right for illegal immigrants to come into our country and work. If they wanted to come live in the U.S they should have went through the proper process to live HERE!!! He is stupid to ask for them to stop raiding businesses to find illegal aliens. We should keep raiding business until we get all illegal immigrants OUT!!LOS ANGELES NEEDS A NEW MAYOR PRONTO!!!

  5. How did we ever ever end up this a-hole mayor? Every American should be offended by the constant Hispandering and racist BS which comes out of this idiot's mouth. We definitely need to elect Walter Moore in 2009!

  7. There is something very wrong in LA !! How can a person with this screwed up brain ever be elected as mayor or any public office. Now that there are people like this in public office, what do we do ?? Are we to just let it slide and keep our heads in the clouds. these illegals must be sent back to Mexico and we must start now electing people that are not in favor of letting the US be invaded. History has shown that if we continue on this road the country will fall.

  8. You are shameless and a disgrace to the human sociatey. We are legal they are not send them back. Most only cause trouble none were checked for disease and they should go home they don't belong here. There is too many of them we don't have the work the insurance or any thing else for them. They did not pay for it. Besides you all talk about the economy being in such bad shape you think we are stupid that we can't figure out that they send thier money back to Mexico instead of putting it back into the economy over here that is why we are in bad shape. Our money is always going over seas or some where instead of here.
