SAN DIEGO CITY COUNCIL MAKES HISTORY
April 9, 2013 (San Diego)—At the cusp of the U.S. Senate taking on immigration reform, the San Diego City Council today sent a bipartisan message to Washington. With a unanimous vote, the San Diego City Council passed a resolution asking for comprehensive, common sense, immigration reform. The partisan divide in Washington was not evident in San Diego, where Republicans joined their Democratic colleagues to stand united on this issue.
Council Member David Alvarez chaired the effort with Council Member Mark Kersey. Before the vote, Alvarez said, “The language is meant to send a message to Washington DC...This is a united message.†He noted that almost everybody is affected by this issue; immigration touches all of us.
The text of the resolution is here: http://dockets.sandiego.gov/sirepub/cache/2/skigyb31wokeed45gleeep45/51555404092013061411217.PDF

Some context, since this is just the 8th largest city in the US, and the busiest border crossing in the world.
A major border city is telling the US Congress... time to do this.
Oh and it was as bipartisan as they come. To be honest, we both were shocked and pleasantly surprised.

Yes, this is not just a local story. Not with this resolution becoming a national template.
The above's the whole campfire.

Why is it that any legislation described as "common sense" is always an ultra-liberal crock of shit?

1. Because it usually is.
2. Because "common sense" to a liberal is as foreign a concept as a smart phone to a caveman.

I'm here and kalifornia is lost. There is no hope. The only good that com of kalifornia's demise is to warn other states what happens when democrats, unions, and illegal aliens (BIRM, BIRM) become a cohesive parasitic voting block.

They still want comprehensive immigration reform when real unemployment is near depression levels? It kinda puts the lie to them saying it was about needing workers. It's really about the political class trying to ensure they are permanantly in power. The fact is that they like Mexico's system where only a few families control everything.

Go to the DUmp and say you think H1B visas need to be expanded and you'll see real fast how much they only want "the right kind" of workers.

2. The problem with having much of DU on your iggy list
View profile
is that you can't see the many thoughtful replies to your post.
Thus necessitating the kick.

Saying that was done with bi partisan support is like saying an albino squirrel changed it's colors.
