Does this policy include illegal aliens?
When will the county taxpayers get to vote on this new policy?

@North/East - I'm wondering if this policy includes legal aliens. If someone legally came to the U.S. how does this help them?

The answer as to when we get to vote on this is "NEVER". Why take the chance?

I remember when the City became a Human Rights City, we were told "It's just a formality, there won't be any ordinances or laws tied to it". Well, that didn't last long.


It is good to see that people can now decide which laws they do and don't want to obey and enforce though. Can you imagine what would happen if someone was put in jail and separated from their family because they stole food from a store? Or what if someone can't get a job and robs a bank to pay their rent so their family doesn't lose their house? How about when someone says something that you think is racist or homophobic; shouldn't you be allowed to beat and mace them without fear of arrest?

Don't worry about any of that. There is now a hotline you can call if you broke any laws the County disagrees with! The U.S. now has a county by county immigration policy and there is no limit to who and how many people can come; just get here any way you can! No background checks required! Free legal representation!

I guess we'll need something like a Supreme-Court decision to enjoin local journalists against conflating the word "immigrant" (which has numerous longtime, honorable, respected meanings beyond any controversy at all) with "illegal alien," as some Bay-Area writers have now deliberately done in the last couple of years. First they euphemized the phrase to "illegal immigrant," and now more boldly and VERY misleadingly write just "immigrant" in its place.

This headline about "immigrant support" can be read to mean all sorts of things it actually doesn't. That can't be accidental, because the calculated ambiguity isn't limited to this publication at all. The whole thing is increasingly Orwellian. And as a great scholar of ideologies and their mind-sets wrote decades ago, "If anything is characteristic of ideologies and ideological thinkers, it is the destruction of language. . ." People imagine a world within a package of assumptions, and then steer the language to favor the assumptions, so as to avoid anyone examining them.

Dear Mountain View Mayor Ken Rosenberg Sir,

I am writing to you because I, not unlike Illegal (So sorry!) - undocumented folks, also require urgent protection from the heavy hand of the Federal Government.

How dare the FED's threaten to arrest me for little so-called "crimes" like dealing coke, aircraft hijacking, carjacking, kidnapping, bank robbery, child pornography, credit card fraud, identity theft? I NEED your protection from the FEDs! Just like the services you offer to the other law breakers in the City.

Otherwise I will not report to the Mountain View Police Department frequent instances of jaywalking I see every now and then.

Sincerely, law abiding (now and then) citizen.

Illegal aliens have absolutely no right to be here. They are only being protected by Democrats for political expediency as the Democrats are hoping they will eventually get their vote. If illegal aliens leaned Republican, how long do you think these same people would defend them? They are nothing but hippocrits. It also drives me up the wall that city and county officials take our hard earned tax dollars, with a vote or even asking us, to defend these people that have no right to be here. No wonder so many honest citizens are leaving California.
