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 http://www.eastcountymagazine.org/node/12961 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.

The SD City Council passed a resolution that carries no weight in law? Wow, that was tough and decisive, wasn't it?Color me unimpressed, nads...
comprehensive, common sense, immigration reform
Why is it that any legislation described as "common sense" is always an ultra-liberal crock of shit?
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.
Well, that's what happens when ol' Nads has half the DUmp on ignore.Cause and effect.
