BEVERLY HILLS COP, WHO LIVES IN NEWPORT BEACH, TELLS COSTA MESA CITIZENS WHAT THEY SHOULD DO ABOUT ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION? HUH?

BY H. Millard (c) 2005 - Posted December 3, 2005

Oh, lordy, lordy, do as I say, not as I do!

Costa Mesa is a medium sized burg down on the OC Coast of California. It's right next to Newport Beach which is THE OC you see on the TV show. You can even see some of that same Pacific Ocean from parts of Costa Mesa that you see on The OC.

Costa Mesa was once as close in quality to Newport Beach as a slightly less pretty fraternal twin sister. No more. Costa Mesa has been whupped with an

ugly stick called illegal immigration while Ms. Prissy Pants, Newport Beach, has remained largely as pure as the driven snow--and also just as white. Think there might be a connection?

What happened to Costa Mesa was that over the past several decades a bunch of squishy liberals turned the city into an illegal alien sanctuary. This caused white flight out of the city. In fact, between the 1990 and 2000 Census, Costa Mesa lost 32% of its white citizens. Of course, they didn't flee because of illegal aliens. Oh, no, dearie. Why, they just needed bigger homes or smaller homes or different homes or other homes or homey homes in cities that just coincidentally happened to be more white. "Really? We didn't know that. Why, that had nothing to do with it." You know how that works.

Today, Costa Mesa, which should be the Shining City on the Hill, is the Garbage Heap on the Bluffs. The city has a Job Center, charities up the kazoo, eight failing schools (that's three more than last year) that are in danger of being taken over by the feds and problems that one might expect to find in Tijuana. This past month there were two murders in the city that may possibly have a nexus with illegal immigration.

Not all the citizens grabbed a flight out of the city, however. A few years ago, a loosely affiliated bunch of these citizens, who call themselves Improvers, got together and started demanding changes to improve the quality of life of the city and to get it back on track.

Their efforts were met with the usual cries of "racism," and blah, blah, blah, blah. Unfortunately for those flinging those charges, most of the Improvers weren't afraid of being called names and they knew they were right to want a nicer city. How could that be wrong? So, they didn't run and hide when they were called names but simply redoubled their efforts and became even more public with their calls to make the city an American city once again.

That brings us to the present. The Costa Mesa City Council recently voted to close down the Job Center at the end of 2005. There were some media reports about that and you may have seen them.

Then, this past week, the Mayor put an item on the upcoming City Council meeting agenda to ask that Costa Mesa police officers be trained by ICE so that they may fully cooperate with the arrest and deportation of illegal aliens when they come into contact with the police. The Mayor has been clear that he's not advocating illegal immigration sweeps, but that when in the course of normal police work an illegal alien pops up, the cops will act on what they know instead of looking the other way as they seem to do now. You probably read about this or, if not, you will soon, as this move is starting to garner national media attention, with the looney lefties trying to make it sound as though storm troopers are going to break down doors to ask for papers.

Anyway, in the local newspaper, the Daily Pilot, on December 3, there is a Community Commentary by Dave Snowden who is the police chief of Beverly Hills which is about 50 miles away from Costa Mesa. Snowden doesn't live in Costa Mesa, but in the aforementioned Newport Beach--The OC, remember. He was once the police chief of Costa Mesa before he retired and then got hired by Beverly Hills, so I guess he figures, for some strange reason, that it's his business to tell the citizens of Costa Mesa that having local cops enforce immigration laws is bad and that closing down the Job Center is also bad.

Well, since I don't live in Newport Beach, I just naturally figure it's my business to tell Snowden and others who do live there about how they can make their city more like Costa Mesa.

Let me now address Snowden, directly. Hey, Dave, the problem with Newport Beach is that it's too full of white citizens with money. You need more brown non-citizens with no money.

Here's how you can fix that so you'll be happy. Organize your neighbors as, oh, "Unimprovers" and go to Newport Beach City Council meetings and demand that low income housing for large "immigrant" families be built in Newport instead of the present low income housing for white senior citizens. Work to get some people elected to your City Council who work on your vision.

Since about half of the people hiring workers at the Costa Mesa Job Center are from Newport Beach, demand that the Newport Beach City Council build a Job Center in Newport. Get the right people in office, Dave, and they'll do that.

Next, Dave, you and your fellow Unimprovers should tell the school district that Newport schools are much too white and that you want some diversity by bussing in students from Costa Mesa's "immigrant rich" Westside.

Lastly, how about demanding that some industrial buildings be put on Newport's bluffs as they are in Costa Mesa?

Dave, that should get you and your Newport Unimprovers on the same track as Costa Mesa. If you need any more advice, don't hesitate to ask. Comprende?

Move fast enough on these suggestions, Dave, and in the next season of The OC, you may see the stars living in slum buildings, eating at the local charities, and finding jobs down at the Job Center. Also, because of all the crime you'll have, the show can have a whole new dimension and morph into a sort of Beverly Hills Cop on the Streets of The OC.
