Dana Point City Council Set to Support Border Police Initiative

Councilwoman Diane Harkey Leads Effort to Stop Immigration

(Sacramento, CA) – Dana Point City Councilwoman Diane Harkey this evening will introduce a resolution putting the City of Dana Point on record in support of the California Border Police Initiative currently in circulation to qualify for the 2006 ballot.  The endorsement of the City of Dana Point City Council is the latest in a growing list of key supporters of the Initiative.

The Border Police Initiative would create an official state police force to assist the federal government in the enforcement of federal immigration law.  Illegal immigration costs California taxpayers approximately $10 Billion on an annual basis, and the California Border Police would help reduce that amount by cutting the number of illegal immigrants residing in the state.

When asked why she was leading the charge to pass the Border Police Act, Diane Harkey said, “We cannot begin to deal with illegal immigrants within our borders until we stop the constant flow across the border.  It’s obvious that we cannot rely solely on the Federal Government, and that’s why I am supporting the establishment of a California Border Police.”

Harkey, who serves as a Co-Chair of the California Border Police Initiative, was set to introduce the resolution as a way to raise public awareness about the problems associated with illegal immigration as well as aiding the effort to solve a very real public policy problem.

“Cities like Dana Point supporting the Border Police Initiative show that the idea of simply enforcing the law is gaining significant momentum.  Diane Harkey’s hard work and dedication to fighting illegal immigration should be commended, and I look forward to working with her to solve this most important problem,” said Border Police Act author Assemblyman Ray Haynes.

If the resolution passes as expected, Dana Point will join the City of Escondido and the City of El Cajon in supporting the California Border Police Initiative.  “Diane Harkey has shown outstanding leadership in the effort to secure our border and deal with the problem of illegal immigration.  Her hard work is much appreciated,” said Assemblyman Haynes.

[Another Former Republican]

Thank God for Jim Gilchrist and the Minutemen!

[Phil Paule]

What has Jim Gilchrist ever done for the California Border Police ???

Great Job Councilwomen Harkey.

[Grammar Police]

Phil,

You mean to tell us there are multiple Councilmembers Harkey? God help us all.

[Another Former Republican]

Gilchrist has participated in numerous petition signing events and the Minutemen and other Gilchrist supporters are among the most active petition gathers. Arnie Chandler who Ray Haynes stated was the inspiration for the initiative, is an active Gilchrist volunteer. Gilchrist supporters take petitions with them as the canvass neighborhoods.

So what has Campbell done? Other than give illegals in state tuition and support amnesty?

[Phil Paule]

Dear Councilman Grammar Police:

If I was an English teacher I would fire myself. That is why I make a living in the political arena.

Dear Another Former Republican:

I asked what Gilchrist himself, not his supporters, had done. I do know that soon to be Congressman Campbell mailed out over 30K petitions. I guess when your money isn't tied up in bankruptcy court, you can do that kind of thing.

Ok got to go. I have a secert meeting with Mr. Earl & Co tonight.

[Another Former Republican]

Campbell did a hilarious photo op for the Campbell Dog and Pony Show for Gullible Republicans.

[Silence Dogood]

I think I'm a pretty good conservative Republican. I supported Gilchrist up until the Camejo joke/lunacy/whatever. I steadfastly support the Minuteman movement. I ABSOLUTELY OPPOSE the California Border Police Initiative. It's scarey how many so called conservatives support another futuristically bloated state bureaucracy, complete with ever increasing pension benefits and union power. With the demise of Prop 75, I suggest the Cal Border Police supporters pause and rethink.

Oh, that's right, they're way behind in signature gathering and won't meet the qualification requirement.

[Ben Franklin]

Assemblyman Devore aka Silence

Perhaps if the Gov had funded the Border Police rather then pretend spending cuts he would have had a winner last night.

[Silence Dogood]

I'm going to stop responding to suggestions I am DeVore. I'm flattered, really. I am not Assemblyman Chuck DeVore. I think he's a great writer. He's a little mechanical, but a great writer. He's a tremendous thinker. I appreciate that. But I think if you were to make comparisons of our work, you'd find glaring differences.

All right, that's the last time. Go ahead, maintain your erroneous beliefs if you want to. But I want to start getting some credit here. It's a little unfair to me that DeVore gets it all.

[OC Voter]

Perhaps if Campbell had funded the Border Police it would not be one more time he failed on the illegal immigration issue.

How was the election victory party with Jon Edward and The Greens Last Night?

Most likely, there would be no CBP discussion if it weren't for the Minutemen.

If I was an English teacher I would fire myself. -Paule
You couldn't fire yourself; you'd have tenure by now and therefore secure in both grammatical errors and typos.

soon to be Congressman Campbell mailed out over 30K petitions. I guess when your money isn't tied up in bankruptcy court, you can do that kind of thing. -Paule
I've never been involved in BK and I couldn't afford to mail out 30K petitions (but I'll compare my FICO score to yours or anyone elses).

I ABSOLUTELY OPPOSE the California Border Police Initiative. It's scarey how many so called conservatives support another futuristically bloated state bureaucracy, complete with ever increasing pension benefits and union power. With the demise of Prop 75, I suggest the Cal Border Police supporters pause and rethink. -Silence
AMEN !!!!

Assemblyman Devore aka Silence -Ben Franklin
I don't know who Silence is but I do know DeVore and it's not the same writing.

[lanceman]

I agree with Silence. The CBP initiative will just create another bureaucracy with salaries and pensions that will further break the state budget. And this doesn't even count the prison space it would require. How could they be effective with our borders with AZ, NV and OR?

I also was a Gilchrist supporter until I realized he is still finding himself. Ten years ago, I would have had no problem voting for John Campbell. With all the GOP establishment endorsements he's received there is no doubt in my mind that he'll do whatever Bush, Hastert and Delay/Blount tell him to do. Whether its the Cornyn/Kyle amnesty, the FTAA, the "Greater North America" plan that the Republicrats will try to shove down our throats, Campbell will go along.

[Badger]

I've always felt we should take over Mexico and make it one great big RV park, it almost is anyway. i think the CBP initiative is weak. Im all for defending this country but realistically if the Border Patrol aint getting it done, we do not need to create another group who wont get it done either.
