Candidate who opposes job center elected
by H. Millard (c) 2002 - 11/6/02
COSTA MESA, CA -- Nov. 6 -- Allan Mansoor, who had never run for public office, defeated long time City Council person and appointed Mayor Linda Dixon in this Orange County city of approximately 100,000, in yesterday's election.
During the campaign, Mr. Mansoor took strong positions against the City funded Job Center and had told a local newsletter that "The goal should ultimately be to close [the Job Center]. First we need to start to reduce the need for it by not allowing people from other cities to use it. [Statistics show that] 37% of the people that use it come from other cities and use it at our expense.
Two years ago, citizens of Costa Mesa had elected another opponent of the Job Center, Chris Steel, to a four year term. However, until yesterday's election, Mr. Steel had been alone on the five member City Council in his open opposition to the Job Center and to the wink and nod approach to illegal aliens that seems to be the norm in the city. Many citizens are hopeful that Steel and Mansoor will be able to forge a majority with at least one other City Council member to stop the city's slide into Third Worldism.

Costa Mesa was featured on a recent "America's Most Wanted," segment concerning the murder of a 16 year old citizen girl in the city by an illegal alien who apparently has now fled to Mexico. The city has one of the highest crime rates in all of Orange County, even though it is nestled between Newport Beach and Huntington Beach, which have two of the lowest crime rates in the county.
The city is also trying to move forward with plans for a major redevelopment but is being opposed by many illegal alien advocates who are in the informal establishment that some local citizens refer to as GICI ( pronounced like yicky, and which stands for Government/ Illegal Alien/Charity/Industrial complex). According to these citizens, the main reason that Costa Mesa is trending more like decaying inner cities instead of like its two upscale neighbors, Newport Beach and Huntington Beach, is because of the stranglehold that GICI has on the city.
These citizens point out that an entire symbiotic infrastructure has grown up in Costa Mesa based on illegal aliens, and that many people are profiting off attracting and keeping a large illegal alien population warehoused in this city where they can be accessed by people from tony Newport Beach whose citizens want a close (but not too close), abundant supply of low end workers. Redevelopment might change this. Citizens also point out that some charities in the city that serve illegal aliens are growing. This is good for the executives of these charities who take handsome salaries. To fuel even more growth (and higher salaries for the executives) some charities appear to be reaching out to attract even more illegal aliens. The charity executives then support some political candidates who sell political "protection" and give monetary grants to the charities in exchange for election donations and votes. Once in office, some politicians then force the legal citizens of the city to keep paying approximately $ 130,000 per year to support the Job Center which serves the suspected illegal alien population. The Industrial part of the complex, which has hired illegal aliens under the table--often from the Job Center--is able to keep its labor costs low, because the employers offer no benefits. The illegal aliens then get their benefit package from the charities. In Costa Mesa, illegal aliens can get free medical and dental care, help with paying the rent, help with paying the utilities, free clothes, free bags of food. The local police department says it doesn't want to cooperate with the INS. Indeed, during the holidays, some Costa Mesa police officers (80% of whom don't live in Costa Mesa) give out free turkeys to suspected illegal aliens.
If this all sounds a little like an eco-system that you might have built in a terrarium in grade school in which everything worked to together for the benefit of all, you get the idea. However, in this Costa Mesa eco-system from hell, the citizens are getting shafted and are not benefiting. In fact, the citizens are the unwilling hosts for what is a parasitic system that is sucking the life out of the community.
Citizens hope the election of Mansoor will start to change things for the better.
