[UPDATED:] City of Orange to Spin Wheel of Hate, Consider Supporting Arizona and "Rule of Law" Status

• During the early 1930s, at the time of the Nazi rise to power, Germany was experiencing great economic and social hardship. Hitler used the Jews as a scapegoat, blaming them for Germany's economic and social problems. The Nazi party promised to resolve these issues, and in 1932 won 37% of the vote. Survivors� They encounter anti-Semitic prejudice and discrimination. They talk about the loss of various rights once anti-Jewish decrees are established. Anti-Semitism �The Nazis used propaganda campaigns to promote the party's virulent hatred of Jews. This attitude towards Jews is known as anti-Semitism. It can take different forms - institutional, physical or verbal. �The Nazis wanted to portray the Jews as sub-human, inferior beings who were interested primarily in their own economic gain or in communism. The Nazis built upon the negative myths of the Jewish race which had existed for centuries. British Library Learning Voices of the Holocaust

• Let me be clear, if a United States citizen or an illegal alien uses someone else's social security number on a job application, it is a felonious act know as fraud. I don't give a rat's bannana where you're from-identity theft must be stopped. How about covering that story Mr. Coker?

• Patriot: Failing paper? Really? That's not what our bottom line is telling us! HAHAHAHA Anyone who talks trash on Matt Coker is a loser of the highest kind who probably spends their days cleaning their computer screens after a session with YouPorn.

• Coker = juournalist? hah! that's hilarious. More like a Jerry Springer wannabe. What a loser.......

• You are a hack writer that is Hate-baiting and Race-baiting. Unprofessional and Uneducated. What is the unemployment rate in the OC? What is the unemployment rate among Blacks? And what is the unemployment rate among legal Hispanic immigrants? What is the cost of Emergency Room Healthcare being paid out for illegal aliens? Do us all a favor and answer these questions before you write another word. I'm ashamed of the OC Weekly allowing you to Spin Hate into this debate.

• It is a true statement that wherever 3rd world people have congregated and not assimilated becomes a shit hole. Please tell me that even the illegals are smart enough to see when they drive in parts of santa ana or little saigon that it is a "shit hole". We don't want to look like parts of mexico or vietnam. Why accept it? The U.S. can't continue to absorb millions of illegals who come here with nothing but an "attitude" We don't want them. The quality of life is down because of them, and don't cry because of the truth. Kids in school who can't speak english bring down the other kids who have to watch the teacher deal with them on a lower level. 13 yr old girls who are knocked up and having babies on welfare, spray painting on other people's property, living 20 to a house, rooster fighting in the back yard, putting wrought iron all over the property, stealing social security #s. driving without insurance, going to the emergency room with a cold or the flu, expecting a free ride at college to get a degree in "chicano studies" and all the while acting like it is owed to them. You will hear people say "that used to be a nice place before" Before what? Before illegal's took over.

• I meant "get over it". Sorry. I was typing fast =) Good day, sir!

• I notice the only people who get offended by such laws are the ones who are threatened to be deported. Get over, get legal or get out.

• Hey, everyone needs to chill. If you are an illegal immigrant you are just that....illegal, so either hide out, become legal or go home....it's pretty simple, requires limited thought which I think you all need to apply to your lives.

• More Racist diatribe from the OC weekly

• IT'S SAD IN TODAYS TIME HOW WE HAVE SUCH HATEN!! WHY DO THESE PEOPLE ATTACK THE WEAK?BECAUSE THERE COWARDS! INSTEAD OF GOING AFTER TERRORIST WHO WANT US ALL DEAD..OR GO AFTER N.KOREA OR USSR OR ANY COUNTRY WHO HATES US THERE BUSY PROMOTING HATE TO THE LATINOS! THERE INSECURTIES ARE MAKING THEM IGNORANT TO THE FACTS...WERE HERE TO STAY AND WERE GOING TO MAKE THIS WORLD BETTER!! AND WERE ARE WORLD WIDE...I THINK THAT'S WHAT THERE AFAID OF...THE MINOROTIES ARE THEM NOW!! RIGHT NOW WE ARE AT WAR ..A HOLY WAR..WHO THE TERRORIST ARE HERE NOW!! THEY FLEW IN PLANES AND HAVE ALOT OF MONEY!

• Coker is another clueless liberal

• Petit: The only white people I hate is your beloved Barbara Coe and Tod Brown, and I don't like them because of their actions. You, on the other hand, despise Mexicans like a man who has been spurned by them too many times before. FUNNY. Ltpar: Spare us the long-winded response, and please tell us how Costa Mesa is a "rule of law" city when the council has spent so much time dealing with the Fair behind closed doors. Anon: It's actually you!

• you matt, are the biggest douchebag ever

• Ok Matt, we understand your job is dependent on printing outrageous material. How else could you get people on one side or the other of an issue pissed off and at each others throats. To that end, you do a pretty fair job, but let's not confuse it with objective journalism. On this article, I only want to comment on one sentence. "a rule of law city, a buzz term, of course, for "Mexicans get out." This is not the definition of a "Rule of Law" City. Elected officials who designate their cities as such, are sending a message to State and Federal Governments, that they want all the laws enforced, including those impacting immigration. You are right in that "Rule of Law," is the opposite of "Sanctuary Cities," where elected officials have opted for selective enforcement of the law. To this end, politicians are starting to discover and many more will learn after the vote next week, the majority of people are sick and tired of the actions and inactions of government. Lastly, I know of no one, including myself who wants "Mexicans" to get out. What we actually want is for "Illegal Aliens" from all countries to get out. The key word here is "Illegal," but that term is conveniently glossed over by all media in general. As the sleeping giant awakens, there is a major backlash coming to America. Hopefully, it will not extend to the many "Legal Immigrant Americans" who have assimilated into society and are now loyal this country, not their former places of residence.

• Wait a minute, isn't Orange County a place which all these pro open border lawyers, politicians, artists and other nice folks call HOME??? Hmmmm, they don't like to keep their door to be open, but boycotting Arizona for doing the same... SHAME on you folks, please read Ten Commandments, specifically rule not to wish others you won't have for yourself.

• WWJD Who Would Judas Deport

• Gustavo Arellano says: "Most people who say they're not racist usually are..." yourself included, you vile white-hating piece of shit.

• Wow - Thought for a minute I was reading the daily hate barrage over at the Register and the fist-pumping monotonous "Brown=Evil"!

• Unlike Costa Migra and Yorba Linda (those city names sound reasonably suspicious!)I spend a lot of money and time in Orange. It's a shame if I and other North OC Latinos will have to scratch that city off too!

• you know it's so sad that it as come to this. as for me my family come's from 1800's and here in Santa Ana. but we all for that we live in the LAND OF THE FEE! and know what! will we call it? I was born in Santa Ana and my Mom to and Dad and so on and in 1960's Down Town Santa Ana was going down hell Big time all the store's were good wills or Bar's there were 6 Bar's. Store's will? like JCPennys, Grants, C&R, will it was Bad! and to day we have stores! we see the biznes going strong... and it not just "Mexicans" look at Garden Grove the same thing.. all the one that have come to the U.S. for there Draem's work hard to make it with papar's or not. what if I get stop and get ask for papars don't ask what I do! hell NO!all about the LAND OF THE FEE! it's About "Land if you have Papars"! this as gone to far how Sad! God Bless all of us!

• I made an error: I said: But where Liberals pander for the votes of the "poor persecuted aliens" The Republicans pander for funds and votes from the ever so powerful Illegal Employers, that love the cheap labor that does not threaten legal action for unsafe/illegal working conditions. I meant to say: But where Liberals pander for the votes and funds of those supporting the "poor persecuted aliens" The Republicans pander for funds and votes from the ever so powerful Illegal Employers, that love the cheap labor that does not threaten legal action for unsafe/illegal working conditions. I find it ironic that now it seems to be right wingers that seem to be crying for "Rule of Law" and send the Illegals home... What did the God of conservatism Ronald Reagan do to fight Illegal Immigration? as I recall Amnesty... What did George I do? nada. Clinton, Hah! him and the conservative congress sent our Jobs to Mexico via NAFTA. Shrub? he did nothing, oh wait, didn't he hire Mexican contractors to build some walls? What will Obama do? he will as Congress to send him a bill and pander to the wishes of the party of NO, in the "spirit of bi partisanship" One thing I can say about Shrub, he said what he was going to do, and did it... of course, no matter what we the people said. What I am curious about, is Now that most "American" cars have been manufactured in Mexico, who is making them? Guatemalans?

• Hey, gabachos, without wabs, how will then you be able to enjoy and reap the benefits of cheap labor? All of a sudden will you now be championing the middle class clause? YEah, right, pendejos. You right wing mother-fuckers only care about is money. You need a scapegoat in time of financial crisis? Go ahead, keep piling it up. You have until 2050 to enjoy the moment, pinchi idiots. After that, all bets are off. Once you become a minority, you bet your hairy euro assess I will be demanding you show your papeles, hijos de puta. It only seemed like yesterday when the real estate boom was allowing you to turn the other way while the wabs remodeled your mcmansions, landscaped your rainforest of a backyard, etc. And now all of a sudden you care about the cost of wabs? Fuckers, we put more into the system than we take out. If you dont like it, then go and fuck like rabbits otherwise our anchor babies will expedite your demise before 2050. Pinchi te bagging mother fuckers. All of a sudden you are now the law and order asswipes. fuckers. i give you until the next economic boom to shut your mouths up. yeah, tyeah, keep harping with your idiot talking points about legality. I have your legality right here, pendejos. I cant wait to see you go down the same way you want to take others down. we are not so pendejo anymore, mother fuckers. just keep it up (please).

• How will Tita Smith vote? Her brother was richly rewarded for covering up the budding kidde porn ring at St. Joseph. with a promotion to Marywood. Which has been the reciepient of tens of thousands of dollars in street fair $$ over the years. What a shame that a lifetime of good works can go out the window just for caving to the man (or Brownie, in this case).

• Man, several years ago I used to enjoy the OC Weekly. What a crap paper it's become. When confronted with opposition to an article, instead of engaging in intellectual debate, the "journalist" at the publication instead call those opposed "idiots". God I'm happy to be out of Orange County. Everyone there sucks big weiner.

• Matt I bet you think that Obama is the best president ever too!

• I like how you remove a post if you don't agree with it. Nothing derogatory just the truth. Once again. To Gustavo; most people who say they are journalists are not! You're the one who continues to amaze me how much of an IDIOT you are. No wonder you work for a failing newsrag.

• His man-love-for-SB 1070 resolution goes further, calling out cities like Santa Ana and Los Angeles for denouncing Arizona and therefore contributing to the brown menace. isn't that in fact a racist comment?

• Hey Gringo, you wanna catch me? Go to Big Lots or the Dollar General. I be there with all my little children. We no speak much English but we love to buy American products with our free government cards. Si, it's easy, our Coyote gives them to us when we come across the border. Si, we get food stamps, free education for our kids, free health care, help to pay our rent, and free loans to buy nice house. Si, why live hard in Mexico when we can live easy and free in America?

• Matt Coker, you fired! Journalists aren't supposed to be opinionated. Just state the facts. That's what journalists (are supposed to) do. If you want to express your opinion, write a blog.

• I have a serious question on this topic: Why is it that wanting ONE set of laws, rules, and standards for ALL people makes someone a racist? Many of the people screaming that they are being "picked on" get free health care from the state, state funded housing, state funded food, and state funded money for basic necessities... Yet those of us who work steady jobs, pay our taxes, and contribute to our communities in positive ways struggle to make the rent, buy food, get medical care, and still avoid the "sorry, honey, we can't afford it" every time our kids ask us for something. This is true of ANY race, not just Mexicans or Asians or Caucasians. The real problem in California is that there are more people taking from the system than are putting back in; it's a simple case of basic math. I don't care what color you are, what political party you are, or country you or your parents or grandparents came from, which defines me as NOT a racist. I think if you are here, you should pay for the rights and privileges that so many of all backgrounds have sacrificed for. In other words, freedom has a price- either pay it or shut up and go somewhere else!

• To Gustavo; most people who say they are journalists usually aren't. Good job being an IDIOT like always and supporting your failing newspaper.

• Hate? Are you kidding? Let's be honest, the loudest voices in opposition to Arizona's law are the Hispanic Supremacists. They are the ones full of hate and racism. The rest of us just want law and order, and who do they think they are to be exempt from our laws? Do they think their race gives them some kind of exception? I think they really do.

• El Gringo: I'm a disabled vet and I know first hand those that have served of ALL races and cultures. Your comparing apples to Oranges. I was talking about the lack news articles, while your talking about a city that's predominantly Hispanic...hence Hispanic vets. Imagine that? One has nothing to do with the other.......

• "Laughing Future" You're a sad testimony to your Mexican race...and pretty much admitting the truth. In your ignorance, you'd prefer to breed out of control like cockroaches leaving fatherless children who have no future but as gangsters, with mothers dependent on welfare. You should be proud. Yep, Mexico is obviously such a wonderful place this is why "your" people are continuously sneaking up here to be with Asians, Caucasian and Blacks. This is why the U.S. communities "infested" with your ilk continue to go downhill. Lets see...Santa Ana, Los Angeles, East L.A., etc. ...over 50% drop out rate for Hispanics. Yep, you should be proud.

• Hey, Glenn! If you're ever in the far north of OC, take a look at the street banners in La Habra, where Memorial Day is every day. The banners bear the names of local military heroes, a lot of Garc�, G�es, Hern�ezes, a bunch of Smiths and Joneses, but a shortage of names of other ethnicities. Is this racism? Or are these fallen the real patriots?

• Hey sweetpea. a La Raza spin rag, not an. On emotion, not in emotion. Learn the correct grammer of your own language.

• Sadly, with this psuedu-journalism pro-illegal immigration bent that the Weekly has taken of late is completely ruining any standing of credibility. The Weekly, a paper that did some great investigative journalism at one time has marginalized itself to an "La Raza" spin rag. You can't ready anything outside of restaurant reviews without being assualted by uninformed opinions based in emotion about illegal immigration; journalistic unbias is forgotten at the Weekly. Sad sad piece of writing and overall direction.

• Wow.. It's hilarious.. All you white,asians and blacks in Orange County. You can't stop the Mexican movement we will always out breed your races. Hell, we even are breeding with your races. Welcome to the New Orange County we are all some shade of brown and your children will all learn some sort of spanish.. We win.. Viva Mexico.. Your just so pissed off cause it's true....

• Wheel of hate? You sir are an idiot! All SB 1070 does is allow local officers to enforce a Federal law. There's nothing wrong with enforcing existing laws. If you don't like the law, get it changed. Only problem is people who're here legally don't want a flood of illegals here. There's a process to get to America, and it shouldn't be circumvented for numerous reasons. What if by not enforcing our immigration laws terrorists bring in a dirty nuke weapon and detonate it in L.A.? Then what? Will the Mexican community in L.A. still want open borders?

• I've noticed a lot of hate driven articles by Coker and Arellano broad brushing everyone against illegal immigration as racist with the OC Weekly. What I didn't notice (maybe I overlooked) was one journalistic endeavor to pay tribute last weekend to the fallen veterans that have preserved our freedom and way of life. Sad commentary......

• Most people who say they're not racist usually are, so gracias for proving yourselves, idiots above!

• When these cities decide to proclaim themselves "Rule of Law" cities, I will hope, (vainly) that they consider ALL LAWS, meaning it is a Felony to Rent to an illegal alien, it is a Felony to Employ an illegal alien. When questioning an already exploited worker asking for "Papers" the question should also be asked, where do you work and where do you live. the investigation should then go to those locations, No Illegal Employers, No illegal jobs... But where Liberals pander for the votes of the "poor persecuted aliens" The Republicans pander for funds and votes from the ever so powerful Illegal Employers, that love the cheap labor that does not threaten legal action for unsafe/illegal working conditions.

• The lack of talent and intelligence of many racists,incompetent polititians lead them to create draconian,retrograde laws that divide and hurt the communities instead of helping them. Polititians know that undocumented immigration is a popular and hot topic that attracts the still vast percentage of the hiding, racist, conservative people in America like sharks in bloody water.

• I agree with Shari; color or race does NOT matter. Let's face it, all of us are the descendants of immigrants from at least one country, so even the "this land is my land" theory doesn't hold water unless you have a perfectly untainted line of Native Americans that's been unspoiled for centuries- VERY unlikely. Whether or not you are here isn't even the real issue. The issue is simple: if you are going to be here, be legal, contribute to the nation YOU chose as your home, and if you don't like something, vote on it like the rest of us do. The problem most people have with illegal immigrants is the fact that w often end up providing better care for them than we are able to give our own families- and the illegals don't do anything except complain that we're mis-treating them in return.

• Hey, 'coker', it's time to detox your commie-lib drivel

• This Wise Latina on the Right says secure the borders, build the fence, enforce our laws. Si Se Puede! Ya es HORA!

• I am sick of the 'racist' label being tossed out every time anyone has the spine to disagree! This country was absolutely built by immigrants - those who came here LEGALLY! How dare those who march in here and, by their very action of coming here, break the law, then DEMAND that they be made legal after the fact. What about the thousands who work and plan for years to get here legally? They're the ones who are really getting screwed over the most! I don't care where you came from or whether you are black, white, purple or green, we have LAWS and if you don't like them, either work to change them LEGALLY or get OUT!

• Great news for Orange. Now if Anaheim would only get on the "Rule of Law" bandwagon, it would be great!!

• What a silly article, spinning the "wheel of hate", why don't you do a report on the advantages/disadvantages of our "open border" policies? That way you can prove what racists the opponents of illegal immigration really are, instead of the silly accusations you threw out here.

• So Matt, Why do you think Mexicans should be given a 100 to 1 immigration advantage over everyone else in the world? See the data at www.immigrantrightsfoundation.org. Maybe it's because you agree with La Raza Cosmica, that they are a superior fourth "cosmic" race created from the previously existing three races?

• Buzz for 'Mexicans get out' ? How do you consider yourself a journalist? Why, Oh Why, do bleeding heart, left-wing morons think that enforcing a law that in many ways is much less exclusionary than Mexico's own laws is racist? Pot calling the kettle.....brown? PS. No one is begging you to stay, if you don't like the laws, become a citizen so you can vote on the issue. Quit bitching, you're doing it wrong.

• ^^^^^^^^^^ Get out crackers Enjoy mowing your own lawn and picking your own fruit

• I just love watching lefties go apoplectic at the thought a city might support enforcing the law. They don't even realize how stupid they sound.

• Good for Orange. America is finally waking up and the more these Illegals protest, the more angry Americans become towards the issue. Americans want Change to our Border control. Americans are sick and tired of Illegals coming here. There are way too many here and it is about time the Hammer comes down on them. Illegal immigration is a Serious problem and a direct threat to Americas National Security. I think our Politicians are realizing that they better support Arizona if they want any chance to get re-elected.

• Matt Coker... your logic makes no sense. Why would "rule of law" be a buzz term for something anti-Mexican. Are you implying that all Mexicans entered the country illegally? Shame on you and your douche-bag journalism.
