Schwarzenegger Urged to Declare Border Emergency SACRAMENTO, Calif. (Aug. 19) - The state Assembly leader called on Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to make California the third state to declare an emergency along its border with Mexico. New Mexico drew national attention last week when its governor declared a state of emergency, citing lawlessness, drug smuggling and human trafficking along the border. The governor of Arizona did the same this week. Democratic Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez said Thursday that California needs to pressure the federal government to stop drug running and illegal immigration. "The timing is good," he said. "The governors of Arizona and New Mexico have done this, and there's an opportunity for three states to have a joint effort in lobbying the federal government." Schwarzenegger has said he supports the actions of his fellow governors but does not think there is a crisis along California's border. Schwarzenegger supports the construction of a fence along California's border with Mexico and recently praised the Minuteman Project, which has conducted civilian patrols of the border. Spokeswoman Margita Thompson said Schwarzenegger is lobbying for more federal money and has asked for more border patrol agents. 08/19/05 12:50 EDT Copyright 2005 The Associated Press.

re: I don't know how it is in FLA but in LA, the OC, SD, SFO etc, 50-100 illegals stand outside a Home Depot or major paint stores or a Tru Hardware store, etc waiting to get work. People drive by and then hire them to put up a fence in their yard or paint their garage. Yes, I'm aware of that. The enablers... too cheap to hire licensed contractors, and probably bitching about all the illegal Mexicans in LA. Have the INS agents start following those folks home and arresting them. Get them on hiring illegals and on not paying SS. Give them 30 days in jail. I hear ya. I don't know which way is most effective, cost wise and otherwise. Whatever works is fine with me. ted
