Los Angeles to Secede from U.S.; Join Mexico?

L.A. Mayor: "Mexico Will Shape My Policies"

Los Angeles Mayor-elect Antonio Villaraigosa said Wednesday that Mexico will play an important role in shaping his policies, reports Mexico's El Universal Online.

'We are starting a new era. Instead of closing the borders, as stated by Schwarzenegger, we should look at our border as an opportunity,' Villaraigosa said.

'This is a time of great importance, not just for us to rediscover our roots, but looking to create a mutually beneficial relationship,'added the city's first Latino mayor since 1872.

The top L.A. Democrat lamented that the recent passage by Congress of The Real ID Act, if signed into law, would prevent illegal aliens from getting driver's licenses. 'Politicians in the United States need to understand that immigrants come here for the same reason that immigrants have always come: to work,' Villaraigosa told El Universal. 'Instead of punishing and demonizing them, we should try to integrate them.' Villaraigosa also told El Universal that he would not support policies that supposedly persecute the city's large migrant population.

'I support Special Order 40 [prohibiting police from making migration-related arrests],' he said. 'We need our police officers to fight gangs and organized crime. That will keep them more than busy.'

O.K... So why not just take this to the next level and allow Los Angeles county to secede from California and the United States and join Mexico. The Mayor here is clearly pandering to a movement that would like nothing better: see here.

No longer would residents of Los Angeles be bound by U.S. law. Neither would residents of this new Mexican colony be required to pay U.S. taxes. They could appreciate the value of Mexico's corrupt bureacracy first hand as they no longer receive the protection of civil rights as understood in the United States. Also, they would be voting in Mexico and not the U.S. Had this been the case in 2004, President Bush would likely have won California.

The best thing about this idea is that Barbara Streisand, Michael Moore and the rest of the Hollywood/Malibu cortex would be forced to move to one of their many other palatial homes or witness firsthand how such luminaries are treated in Mexico (unless of course they make large payoffs to the right people).

We would of course build a very large fence, sealing the county off from the rest of California. You can certainly expect that as soon as Mexican economic policies are introduced in this new Mexican territory, immigrants will do anything to get into the United States.

My advice to friends in L.A. county: MOVE NOW!
