L. A. Invites Invaders
Mayor Ignores Law and Law Day

Lou Dobbs Tonight -- CNN -- May 1 
William Bratton, LAPD Chief: We, the police, will be here to ensure that the immigrant community and its supporters can exercise their First Amendment rights in a peaceful way. So we encourage you tomorrow to come to these rallies, to come and enjoy.
Antonio Villaraigosa, L. A. Mayor: We're committed in this city to embracing every Angeleno, whether they're born here or not, whether they're legal or not.
Lou Dobbs: Well absolutely. Now I got a little confused there. Was that Bill Bratton saying come down and have a great demonstration basically enjoy the food, enjoy the day?
Casey Wian: Absolutely. Both he and the mayor encouraged everybody in Los Angeles to come out and support the agenda of these folks. The mayor said that. Chief Bratton didn't. He encouraged people to come out and no matter their legal status, you know exercise their First Amendment rights, as he said.
