It's time to line up along the border and start using them.

In a nutshell Special Order 40 allows illegal aliens to operate with impunity. I think it's disgusting this so-called mayor as well as the cowardly Chief of Police and those cowards on the city council place a premium on political correctness instead of doing what's in the best interest of the "legal" residents of L.A.. The mayor and the city council essentially told the parents of Jamiel Shaw "we don't give a damn about your son losing his life" and by extension they're saying the same thing to all the residents of L.A.. It was the Shaw's son today maybe your child tomorrow. If the residents of L.A. don't vote this mayor and council members out of office then you get the government you deserve.

Explaining Special Order 40

All sides of the immigration debate must reject the folklore about Special Order 40 and get real about removing violent criminals who can and should be deported.

Ask and deport, family urges

Jamiel Shaw Sr. weeps while standing with his wife Anita Shaw before the Los Angeles City Council Tuesday. Their son's alleged killer, in the U.S. illegally, had been let out of jail onto streets.

The attack on the Los Angeles Police Department's Special Order 40 -- which limits when officers can ask about the citizenship status of suspects -- has come largely but not exclusively from anti-illegal-immigration forces.

But now the order has a new and potentially potent foe: the family of Jamiel Shaw Jr., the Los Angeles High football star who was killed last month. Police have charged a gang member who was in the country illegally with Shaw's slaying.

Dear Council Members:

All sides of the immigration debate must reject Special Order 40 and get very sertious about removing violent criminals, who can, and should be, deported, and do it NOW!!

Sincerely,

A very concerned citizen

Beg, all you want. The L.A. city council is imprevious to the suffering of hundreds of people every year who have someone they love, slaughtered. Shame on this council and the Mayor Villaraigossa.

this Mayor of Los Angeles is a disgrace to our city. he's out there doing his job - protecting his backers - the Hispanics, illegals and gangs.
Shame on you! !
