The Costa Mesa City Council has voted unanimously to declare itself a "rule of law" community, further widening the divide over illegal immigration in the central Orange County city.
This week's resolution follows an April news conference in which Mayor Allan Mansoor called for stricter regulations to catch illegal immigrants living, working and driving in the city.
Costa Mesa has sought for several years to reduce the number of illegal immigrants within its borders by regulating day laborers, asking police to check the immigration status of people they stop and limiting the number of soccer fields in parks.
Mansoor said before Tuesday's meeting that the resolution "states that Costa Mesa is not a sanctuary city" and will uphold immigration laws.
The resolution passed despite pleas from community members. No one in the audience spoke in favor of it.
"Immigrants are part of America," Silvia Hernandez told the council. "We work, pay taxes, go to church and participate in our communities. We need a solution that brings people out of the shadows."

Hey Silvia, Legal Immigrants pay taxes, but most illegals that do work, get paid under the table and don't pay taxes. As for a solution that brings people out of the shadows, are you implying that they are cockroaches?

And again, the leftists attempt to obfuscate the truth. This country was founded on "IMMIGRANTS". She apparently "forgot" to include the "illegal" part.

The US wasn't founded on immigrants.
1492 was LONG LONG before 1776

Good for Costa Mesa. I'm thinking GWB was right: You're either for us, or against us.
Costa Mesa=Good
Los Angeles stinking hellhole=Bad

Considering their proximity to illegal shitholes like Santa Ana, this takes some serious balls to pull off. Good on them.
