I do not subscribe to Mockingbird’s argument, but the story about Alabama crops rotting in fields seems to have some support. A few examples do not a Truth make and I still am not sure the situation in Alabama represents any larger Truth.

The Sheriff and Police Chief should be removed if they agree to this.

If someone were here legally they would not have the need to show a matricula consular.

What is to stop Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, Panama, etc from issuing similar cards? In fact some of the have just begun to do so.

You, as an American, can’t work for 5 minutes in Mexico without your FM 2 or 3.

Why would we accept a matricula consular for identification when the banks in Mexico don’t accept them as ID when you want to open a bank account?

Is Sonoma County making foreign policy for itself? Is Santa Rosa making foreign policy?

We need immigration reform, but this isn’t it. The old argument that no one would do the job if they weren’t impoverished from another country would have kept slavery intact. This foolish, inadequate ‘argument’ can be answered by a statement that the children of undocumented immigrants will not want to pick grapes so we’ll always need new people from the rancho to come and do the job.

The conclusion that one draws from all of this is that our country is purposely destroying its middle class through overloading the educational system, straining services, exhausting resources, and artificially glutting the housing market with low-income government subsidized housing.

This is UN Agenda 21. People like Lisa Maldonado representing the AFL-CIO and Norman Soloman are agents of this ‘change.’ They and their cohort of ‘Progressive Democrats’ have hijacked the Democratic Party. If you are a Democrat I urge you to go to the Democratic Socialists of America website and look at their pdf called What is Democratic Socialism. They say that they work through the left wing of the Democratic Party, and that they started the Progressive Legislative Caucus. Those of us who are Democrats need to expose this.

Stand up. Speak out. Stop UN Agenda 21/Sustainable Development. It is the biggest public relations scam in the history of the world. It is destroying your country.

The trade off of higher crop prices (typical argument) is more than offset by the MASSIVE cost burden absorbed by the hospitals and schools, paid for by taxpayers.

Please provide links to stories of fruit rotting in fields. Please provide facts supporting these claims.

I don’t expect a response.

I’m waiting for someone to sue the county when they are injured or a family member is killed by unlicensed driver here illegally that was stopped two days prior and not arrested and the car impounded.

People get all worked up about “activist judges”. How about activist cops deciding what laws to enforce? I feel for the average deputy or officer on patrol who’s leadership is this screwed up.

Who is going to run for Sheriff who will change the direction?

I’m going to use my Disney Park Hopper Pass as ID. Mickey has better control of his land than Mexico!

A citizen must pay taxes, must follow the law, must pay to feed their kids, must pay exorbitant medical premiums (to pay for those illegals who use the ER are primary care), must pay for uninsured motorist insurance (to pay for the damage caused by unlicensed drivers), pay DMV fees to drive, pay towing fees if we’re pulled over, etc, etc.

An illegal alien files fake tax returns (I see this every year, first-hand) so they can get a $4,400 REFUND above ALL taxes ‘paid’. Thus, making the IRS another welfare system. They drive illegally with no insurance without risk. They get free medical insurance. Free breakfast and lunch all year round from taxpayer funded public schools. They get discounted housing paid for by citizens. They get free money from programs meant for citizens by exploiting the mis-interpreted 14th Amendment. Under the table money earned is happily shipped out of the country by the banks that were bailed out by the Federal government (e.g. Wells Fargo), thus not spent in the state providing NO benefit to the economy.

Is it any wonder why this state is bankrupt? Hospitals are being bled dry. The public school system is a joke because children are taught in a foreign language. ALL government forms are translated into a foreign language. Where is the great “melting pot”? The US has become a fractured society and accepting a foreign ID just continues this.

Another excellent example of how local law enforcement is not doing their job in portecting our community and enforcing the laws.

Illegal immigration is a major problem in Sonoma County and in California. It is way out of hand. With illegals comes crime and criminals. Look at how many illegals are in our state prisions.

By letting illegals drive with no license or insurance, the cops are singling them out for favoritism of one group over the legal residents who actually live here paying taxes and obeying the laws.

This madness has got to stop. Sonoma County is a magnet for illegals with rules like this.

First it was free tuition and now no license, no insurance, no harm, no foul.

This isn’t good law enforcement, this very bad social policy.

The particularly troubling part of the Consular ID issue is that the question is being decided city by city by the police chief. For the people in the various jurisdictions, this creates unequal protection under the law (see 14th Amendment) and hearkens back to the days of feudal fiefdoms. This is precisely what professional law enforcement is supposed to be against.

As I see it, the burden rests with the Mexican government. Either they verify the identity of the people they issue these cards to or they don’t. Their process and their criteria should be transparent and open to outside scrutiny, like every DMV in the US. Then the overall issue should be resolved in an opinion from the Attorney General. This would clear up the matter for law enforcement across the board, rather than piecemeal.

When the Chief’s Association agrees to supersede the law or interpret the law, they are acting either as the legislative or judicial body respectively. Either way, they are acting beyond their scope. When they enter into a conspiracy to not enforce the law or apply the law only to some and not others, at best this is unprofessional dereliction of duty and impeachable conduct at worst.

Let me get this straight, they are here illegally, so let’s help them evade the immigration officials.

Enforce the law, they are here illegals & sponging off of our system. Illegal immigrants has gotten way out of hand that we have to resort to stupid moves like this.

Maybe our local leaders can pass an ordinance and require the thumb print when they sign up for a check cashing card and start compiling some kind of useful database where we can “reliably” identify someone?

It would work a heck of a lot better that relying on the Mexican consulate and expecting all our illegals to travel to San Francisco and make an appointment with a consulate officer to get the useless card they want to accept.

Don’t say I never propose solutions. My stupid idea would actually work better. I’m not kidding.

If this doesn’t raise the ire of many a law biding citizen, I don’t know what will. Perhaps, just maybe, now voters will take a good look at the people running for elected office. Instead of voting a straight democrat ticket maybe we can get someone in office that will abide by the oath of office. No worries, I’m not going to hold my breath.
