Impotant Doings in City Hall !

Yesterday, the Portland City Council unanimously passed a resolution to file an "amicus" brief in opposition to Arizona's law allowing police to verify immigration status of individuals who are apprehended for other cause.  I will concede that Portland is such a well-run city with no major problems that council time can be used to castigate the laws of other states with relative impunity:  we have no criminal aliens here, no gang members, no decaying streets, no conflicts between police and public, no drugs, no assaults, nary a murder, traffic is virtually non-existent since every automobile owner voluntarily bicycles to downtown or takes MAX, all of our streets are smooth and well-marked, and all water and sewer projects cost far less than budgeted, so users get discounted rates as boot.

Oh, wait.  You want to talk about the REAL WORLD?  My bad. 
When city commissioners such as Amanda Fritz compare those who harbor illegal aliens to the persons who concealed ANNE FRANK, it's time for drug-testing city hall.

The Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge, 3500 acres of wilderness south of Tucson and on the border of Mexico, is CLOSED to American citizens due to the drug smugglers, "coyotes," and other heavily armed thugs.  Is this what you want for your adopted country, Mrs. Fritz?  Was Anne Frank a drug mule, was she a murderess, a mercenary thug, or was she a victim of a madman's twisted eugenics goals?  Is murdering ranchers on their own property some noble pastime to you?  Is that the lawless future you wish for Portland, Mrs. Fritz;  Mr. Adams;  Mr. Leonard;  Mr. Saltzman;  Mr. Fish? 
Imagine, if you can, Washington Park as being on the border of another country.  Now imagine that park extending to the Willamette River.  Now imagine it to be such a war zone that you are forbidden to enter it, even though you partially own it.  No Saturday Market, no Waterfront Park, no city hall:  all overrun by armed criminals to whom you are merely another annoying target to be executed with no more remorse than swatting a fly. 
And they are cancerously enlarging "their territory."
Welcome to Arizona, Mrs. Fritz:  you ain't in Kansas anymore.


Portland, we can, we MUST, do better than this.
