Costa Mesa mayor wants tougher crackdown on undocumented immigrants | 89.3 KPCC

In the shadow of a national debate on immigration and Arizona’s controversial new law targeting illegal immigrants, Costa Mesa Mayor Allan Mansoor announced this morning that he’s looking to crack down on undocumented workers and drivers.

“Costa Mesa is not a sanctuary city and is in fact, a rule of law city when it comes to immigration,” Mansoor said at a press conference inside City Council chambers.

Mansoor said there are “loopholes” in local, state, and federal laws that can keep illegal immigrants in this country even when they’re contacted by police.

One example, Mansoor said, was when police accept a Mexican ID card as valid identification when they pull someone over. He said many unlicensed drivers are illegal immigrants and outside of the foreign ID, there’s no way to verify who they really are and other means to check their identity “need to be explored.”

Police currently take unlicensed drivers into custody if they have no means of identifying them. Mansoor would not say if he would advocate taking people into custody who only have a foreign ID.

The city should also explore requiring all current and future businesses operating in the city to use E-Verify, a free federal program that checks the eligibility of potential employees and the validity of their Social Security number, Mansoor said.

Save that beautiful State!

This post brings tears to my eyes as I know. I do not live there anymore but I remember and see in photos now the stark differences. You are right. More are heading your way due to the sanctuary status they receive. Hopefully some sensible prerson there puts up do not enter sign, and quickly.
