Idiot Los Angeles Mayor Villaraigosa says illegal immigrants add to the economic might of California:
LA Mayor Villaraigosa on illegal immigration:
“In California, I think there’s a real sense that these immigrants provide a great deal to the economic might of the state, while at the same time give us an opportunity to take the lead on this issue of really pushing the federal government to fix a broken immigration system.”

Yes you’re correct Villadumasp, push the federal gvt. to ENFORCE the existing laws.

alaskan commented:
Then why is Mexico deficient of ‘economic might’? Using this logic, Mexico should be an ‘economic powerhouse’.
pjean commented:
Oh, okay. So with all that “might”, I guess we should NEVER expect your state to request a bailout from the rest of the nation. Then again, if Cali needs the rest of the nation to bail them out, the rest of this nation will have the “might” to force CA to change the way they do things.

Oklahoma has a different tale to tell. And the stats to back it up.
Just_Saying commented:
“economic might of California”? 12 million times a negative number is a really large negative number!

Anyone who knows L.A. knows he is a idiot. I listen to KFi640 John n Ken, Villaraigosa is a buffoon.

Meanwhile, in the Peoples Republic of Boulder, a CU professor claims (illegal) immigrants lower the crime rate….

a.k.a. Democrat voo doo economics
Spend absolute Billions providing services for people who flaunt our laws …the value of which can only be measured in power and control.
These are Billions spent to pad the coffers of voter fraud… fraudulent registrations processed by Registrar offices completely in on the coup…
We are governed here in California by the most corrupt, moronic, power obsessed Democrats who think nothing of the fact that they are destroying this once great state and turning it into Greece.
If you ever needed a reason to finally snap out of it and engage politically let this be it. We will not take back anything if we don’t get off our arses and get involved politically at every level from voter registration and phone banking to precinct walking and poll working.

Other states need to adopt Arizona’s law so that the boycotts against Arizona are moot.. IF a bunch of states adopt the same law they cant boycott all the states.

What was it Joe Wilson said about Obama? Works for this tool as well LIAR!
Harry Schell commented:
They work to reelect asses like Tony Villar. This promotes Tony’s economic growth. Obviously, this is what this lying sack of night soil from a diseased ox is talking about.
CA has grown government and shrunk the private sector, just as Greece has. The math is unavoidable. Government has not a penny it doesn’t take from the private sector. The debate in CA, as in Greece, is not over how to grow the pie but who gets what share of a progressively smaller one. This is what is meant by “progressive” in CA.
Riddle me this: If Keynesian economics and massive deficit spending works, why are the economies of CA and Greece failing?

I was thinking about that myself gus.
Which laws do I think do not apply to me today?
Bring on the studies Mayor. Show us how illegal immigration has been a boost to California’s failing economy.
This is not about immigration.
This is about illegal immigration.
mark commented:
“All of the studies” show. Yeah right. Name 3.
And let’s be clear. Lots of polls out now on this. Is Immigration good? Is Immigration bad? They take out the word Illegal for their poll. Of course immigration is good…when people get in line, fill out the appropriate paperwork, swear allegiance to the Flag, and contribute, that’s a good thing. We are all immigrants or decendents of immigrants. But, we are talking about people who come here illegally. ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. ILLEGAL INFILTRATION. ILLEGAL INVASION.
Bindar commented:
Villaraigosa speaks like his true loyalties lie in Mexico not in L.A. and in the “race” and not in all the American people. They elected him and they are stuck with him, just like we’re stuck with Obama.
Tom Kubiak commented:
Wow! He just became the leading Democrat for President.
Daniel commented:
First order of business – laugh at the Mayor.
Second order of business – check out his business to see how many illegals he has on his payroll for the cheap.
Militant Conservative commented:
Retard, illegals are hindrance not a boon. such an intellectual lightweight. powder is dry for illegals and criminals. Come get some.
Marnie commented:
“Studies show, and many studies have been done.” Wonderful, more tax payers money going to studies on how great illegal activity is good for the country. Wow, they continue to amaze this stupid American. Can I get a source on the studies Mr. Mayor. (P.S. have you read the bill?)

Slavery? Exploitation?
Big L commented:
Immigration system is not broken,as these politicians keeps saying.
In 2008, there were over 1,000,000 new citizens naturalized! A million!. What country does that? None. And for 2009 over 700,000 naturalized. And Of the totals 15 % were from Mexico.
111,000 for ’08 and 85,000 for ’09.
That is NOT broken! That immigration system is working well, very well.
Blue Collar Todd commented:
We do I have to live in a state like California? This will probably be the first American state to go Greece, and I mean start rioting. The 2010 election cannot get here fast enough, but I have serious concerns about the Left’s “crisis” manipulation to stop the Republicans from taking back Congress. The United Nations started following me on Twitter, should I be concerned?
jerryl commented:
hm yes i can see that thats why la is going broke an dlaying people off cause the illegals add to the might of la or is it the burden hmmmmmm
Estragon commented:
The way the LA budget is looking, Villaraigosa ought to be careful using phrases like “economic might.”
His give-aways to public employee unions have busted the city’s budget almost beyond hope of repair. Bankruptcy cannot be ruled out.
Freddy commented:
LA is 3 billion dollars under water. This mayor is a complete idiot.
Lets see what happens in the next couple of months when the state government drops all of the welfare-cash-to-illegals programs that Villajerko thinks are economic growth.
bobc commented:
Illegals use up more tax dollars than they contribute!
When our fellow citizens and our government care more about illegals than their own legal citizens…if is a slap in the face of all who have lost their jobs..
Illegals are the most arrogant people I have ever seen, marching in our streets to demand we change for them!
Go back to your own countries and march and demand your own leaders reform and help you…we are fed up!
Bobbi commented:
Unconstitutional to enforce a federal law?
Bobbi commented:
After UCLA, Villaraigosa attended the People’s College of Law (PCL), an unaccredited law school in Los Angeles that promotes illegal alien and labor union causes. Villaraigosa failed the California Bar Exam four times and is not licensed to practice law
LimoLibsStink commented:
Democrat Mayor Villaraigosa:
It is clear that Mexico is a country but should be a continent. The Gringos stole Los Angeles from Mexico and now it is time to re-unite it with Mexico.
Study after study has show that illegal immigration has more benefits than so called detriments – to those here illegally…health care, WIC cards, non-taxed income and I could go on and on.
Clearly, our immigration system is broken. There are too many Asians and New Yorkers allowed in here than Mexicans. So, we must find a legal path to citizenship for all illegal Mexicans. Just look at how easy NY bomber Faisal Shahzad got his citizenship through marriage loop hole while Mexican are just eating the worm.
Illegal immigrants are economic might that brings in high quality crack and Mexican Mud to South Central Los Angeles. Good coke doesn’t just walk itself across the boarder. No! Some Mexican must bring it across!
One last thing before I get into my Limousine, there are over 12 million illegal immigrants living in California and in particular Little Mexico…err, I mean Los Angeles. It is about time to grant them amnesty. Hasta la vista, US Constitution!
Hangtown Bob commented:
Maybe Arizona can help out California.
Just send all of the illegals to Los Angeles and then the city won’t be BANKRUPT anymore.
Dave In Houston commented:
This guy is to LA what Coleman Young was to Detroit.
That is not good.
Spike commented:
This mayor is a complete jackass that we should field goal over the fence into Mexico
Red commented:
Mexico is a crap hole and Los Angeles is a crap hole as well. Please, all Mestizos move to LA. Please.
