Welcome To Malibu: A Sanctuary City Where Cheap Nannies And Gardeners Make It A Great Place To Live!
[guest post by Dana]
For a select few, anyway…
Recently, I posted about uber-wealthy Malibu’s hypocrisy regarding illegal immigrants. As you may recall, the residents of Malibu are very concerned about the plight of their gardeners and housekeepers during a Trump presidency…
Amusingly, the welcome sign to Malibu was altered to speak the truth of the matter:
“OFFICIAL SANCTUARY CITY ‘Cheap Nannies and Gardeners Make Malibu Great!’ (Boyle Heights Not So Much).”
The sign was first reported around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, after someone bolted it to an existing marker at the city’s northern limit. Anyone speeding past might have thought officials were simply taking pride in their recent decision to declare Malibu a haven for immigrants who may face deportation for crossing the border illegally — a defiant repudiation of the Trump administration’s expanded immigration enforcement priorities.
Rosenthal, who introduced the sanctuary measure to this famed beachside community several months ago, said the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is now investigating the matter.
“Whoever did this spent some time on it,” she said.
The mayor of Malibu jumped in and revealed just how insular and tone-deaf the wealthy enclave is:
Mayor Pro Tem Skylar Peak also supported sanctuary status when it came up for a vote last month and said he didn’t know much about Boyle Heights — only that it’s a working class and mainly Latino neighborhood.
“To make a derogatory comment about that place is very childish and inappropriate. I’m embarrassed by that,” Peak said.
“We have a lot of immigrants who work in Malibu. It’s probably the majority of the employees here.”
Mayor Peak did not discuss any proposed low-cost housing to help the illegal immigrants from having to make the long commute to the beach community from those mainly Latino neighborhoods. Nor did he discuss any proposals to ensure that the wealthy pay a fair wage to their employees. But hey, they really, really do care. Just ask them:
“Our city depends on a Hispanic population to support our comfortable lifestyle,” Rosenthal read. “Do we not owe them what comfort and protections that are possible in these challenging times?”

Dana (023079) — 4/5/2017 @ 5:16 pmThere should be some activism and a push for low-income housing to be built there in Malibu. It’s not green, let alone humane, to expect the little people to travel long distances to their place of employment. This elitism must not stand!
Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 4/5/2017 @ 5:24 pmTheses people.
Now, now.
Idiocy isn’t the province of the ‘select few’ rich and famous alone; the many multitudes of poor and stupid are equal opportunity dummies as well.

DCSCA (797bc0) — 4/5/2017 @ 5:41 pmGreetings:
When I first got deported to Alta California, I lived in the city of Alameda. I used to refer to it as a small island off the coast of Oakland. The body of water between them was officially know as “The Estuary” but everybody who lived there referred to it as “The Moat”.

Thanks for the tip. Skylar Peak is a has some issues.
AZ Bob (f7a491) — 4/5/2017 @ 6:08 pmfor the love of california jesus do you have any idea how sickeningly high rent is in Los Angeles
these malibu trash losers are brutally raping the lower and middle classes by putting out a welcome/bienvenidos mat to a city what already doesn’t have enough housing
this is why the filthy city is crawling with bedbugs and tuberculosis
also i think their douchebag malibu mayor smokes weed
i really do
happyfeet (28a91b) — 4/5/2017 @ 6:09 pmThe sign is classic. No doubt liberals have no sense of humor.

nk (dbc370) — 4/5/2017 @ 6:16 pmThe last time masses of Democrats seceded from the Union to maintain power over their cheap forced labor we considered it a civil war. I see no reason why it should not be considered so today and the feds should send in marshals to enforce federal law. Sedition is still sedition.
Democrats have a history of exploitation of minorities for labor. This time they are exploiting immigrants both legal and illegal but their main objective is to recruit new Democrat voters. If we continue to permit immigration and close our eyes to “sanctuary cities” we will end up a permanent minority to the Democrats and we won’t be able to elect a dog catcher.
The Democrats are stuffing the ballot boxes not with ballots but with millions of new Democrats. Plus they are setting up an underclass to replace the union thugs who are being eliminated by automation. The Democrats always play the long game. They have deteriorated into a plague on the Republic.

Kevin M (25bbee) — 4/5/2017 @ 7:46 pmFirst, fake news. Now, fake signs. I don’t know if we are going to be able to handle so much truth.
Ed from SFV (3400a5) — 4/5/2017 @ 8:11 pmMaybe congress should pass some laws that actually penalize people or companies that hire illegals?
Doesn’t seem to be a priority. I wonder why.
Davethulhu (c75fb7) — 4/5/2017 @ 8:41 pmYou can be very sure the Malibu will not be a sanctuary for midnight sign posters. I hope the culprit has covered his/her tracks, and if caught, keeps mouth shut. Don’t compound the misdemeanor with some two-bit felony like being untruthful with the authorities. And have some cash buried somewhere so you can feed and house yourself after the police seize your bank accounts, vehicles, and the county seizes your property when the taxes aren’t paid. This is America, after all.
BobStewartatHome (448c1e) — 4/5/2017 @ 9:41 pmSounds like a classic win-win situation. A real one.
What, pray tell, is the argument against it?
And if there is one, is that same argument used by the same people in arguing for some different things that might logically follow, or is that argument merely an after the fact rationalization?
Sammy Finkelman (ca4c0f) — 4/5/2017 @ 9:47 pmA clear reform would be threefold:
A: End birthright citizenship, which was a great reform for slaves but is obsolete. Citizenship should be based on a parent being a citizen or going through an immigration process.
B: If you’re not a citizen, you don’t work without a special (and expensive) waiver for truly unusual situations where we really did need to import a specialist. Violating this law is treated like tax evasion.
C: Absolutely no welfare, food stamps, grants, subsidized loans, medicaid, or anything else, if you do not possess a national ID card, which are issued early (childhood). Your state gets a block on the card to add licenses like driver or conceal carry, and also restrictions (need to wear glasses to drive, etc), but it’s a consistent card in all 50 states and possessing a fictitious one is a mandatory 72 hour jail sentence. I think this part is pretty important. IDs are free and are tied to a fingerprint. Everyone booked into a jail for any reason is fingerprinted, and if they do not have such an ID card, they are issued one tied to that fingerprint. If they lose the card, you can still easily identify them. Sounds draconian but I don’t see how this harms anybody.
The Meteors (ba94b2) — 4/5/2017 @ 10:22 pmOnce again, none of your “reforms” target employers. You’re treating the symptom, not the cause.
Davethulhu (c75fb7) — 4/6/2017 @ 12:00 amHave you seen the people at Trump rallies? Maybe five of them could do the work of one Mexican if they could be persuaded to put down the beer, the Cheetos and the donut, and bother to show up two days in a row. Reality. Employers need to get the work done. Or you go to the grocery store and the shelves are empty.
nk (dbc370) — 4/6/2017 @ 12:06 amNo one works less than our black political hacks, nk.
mg (31009b) — 4/6/2017 @ 2:13 amWaters, Cummings etc,etc.
Watch what they do and not what they say.
“Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) failed to acknowledge Equal Pay Day for the first time in her Senate career after it was reported on Tuesday that women working in her Senate office earned just 71 percent of what was earned by men.”

FYP
harkin (f65e7e) — 4/6/2017 @ 2:56 amActually they all work, harkin. The anti Trump rally IS their work.
So instead of whining like a leftist simply add D: Employers who employ persons without national ID will be fined 100k per occurrence. Hit them where it hurts.

Not really even a matter of “if”, it’s the natural trend of identity politics
https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/united-states/2017-03-31/case-against-immigration?cid=int-now&pgtype=hpg®ion=br2
This is why the alt-right believe their rise is inevitable. Sooner or later everyone will be forced to play the identity politics game. The alternative will be to become marginalized, and in the case of whites, to lose the culture, the country, and liberty. If you don’t value it, if you dont fight for it, you will lose it.
Build the wall.

This is why Trump was elected, the establishment is hated, and why the establishment will do everything they can to scuttle Trumps agenda. They like the workforce living in slums and needy.
Leon (168f33) — 4/6/2017 @ 10:14 amSo let’s see, this sign represents protest that is:
1. Clever
2. Pointed
3. Artfully-crafted
4. Non-destructive
Isn’t this a whole lot better than knitting ladyparts hats and marching, or putting on black masks and breaking store windows?

Davethulhu (fab944) — 4/6/2017 @ 10:34 am@Davethullu and Rev. Hoagie:none of your “reforms” target employers. You’re treating the symptom, not the cause.
It is not illegal to employ illegals. It is illegal to ask for any documentation until after hiring, and it is illegal to refuse the documentation offered and demand other documentation. Employers who comply with these rules are not breaking the law even if every single person they hire turns out to be illegal, and the law forbids them to make any effort to discover that.
It is only illegal to knowingly and deliberately hire illegals but there is no need to do that. Follow the law as written and you will be employing them if they apply.
Frederick (64d4e1) — 4/6/2017 @ 11:19 amThat’s exactly my point. The current law is extremely tolerant of employers.

Icy (0be6a1) — 4/6/2017 @ 11:28 amI’m speaking to culture Dave, not genocide.
Perhaps you are a fan of multi-culturalism; I see it as the death of national harmony and eventually of western civilization.
Leon (168f33) — 4/6/2017 @ 12:06 pmThat Mayor sounds like a real reactionary.

Blah Blah (44eaa0) — 4/6/2017 @ 12:35 pm@DavethulluThe current law is extremely tolerant of employers.
It is more accurate to say that current law forces employers to hire illegals; to demand that employers should be punished for doing so is a bit much.
Frederick (64d4e1) — 4/6/2017 @ 1:55 pm“Mutli Racial America is fine but not a goal”

I think it’s illegal to demand any more documentation from one person than from another, especially on the basis of national origin. But you could ask all persons for multiple pieces of identification.
Sammy Finkelman (6f9f42) — 4/6/2017 @ 2:11 pm20. The Meteors (ba94b2) — 4/5/2017 @ 10:22 pm I don’t see how this harms anybody. You mean anyone you don’t want to harm, but it does that too.
Sammy Finkelman (6f9f42) — 4/6/2017 @ 2:13 pmWhile it’s not necessarily mandated, nothing is preventing any employer from using e-verify.
Davethulhu (fab944) — 4/6/2017 @ 2:26 pmIn todays world what exactly is the difference between multi racial and multi cultural? When I was a kid everybody wanted to be a cowboy and everybody knew they could be president red, yellow, black or white. Now it’s “Don’t Make The Black Kids Angry” and Black Lies Matter, and “diversity”. All bull$h!t.
My first wife was Jewish and my current wife is Korean yet I had a guy call me a racist just last week because I pointed out the Founding Fathers were white. And mostly Christian. The guy freaked out at the bar at my Club and started shrieking white people “like” me are what’s wrong with America. Then when I pointed out white people “like me” founded the country he went apoplectic. I thought he would crap himself.
The left will either beat the white out of us or breed the white out of us. Either way the white’s gonna be out of us.
I find it sad that the most free country in history, the richest, most powerful yet the most generous and most merciful to those it’s defeated in war is considered by the left to be the most horrible thing ever created. Mostly because white Christian.
They complain about capitalism but show me any nation ever including today where the poor drive cars, have air conditioning and heat, refrigeration cell phones and are FAT. Any where any time in history. It didn’t come from socialism.
Multi cultural? Why? Because all those other cultures are so successful? That’s why they’re dying to get here, right?
Rev. Hoagie® (785e38) — 4/6/2017 @ 2:39 pm43-The reason America became great is because it was founded by Anglo-Saxon Christians informed by Anglo-Saxon Christian ideas and traditions. The more America moves away from those ideas, values, traditions, and yes, demographics, the worse shape the country becomes.
The evidence is everywhere, from the collapse of the traditional family, to college students covered in tribal tattoos graduating dumber than before they started college. Three quarters of the population is on happy pills, and abortion is as common as childbirth. Half the people are on government benefits, and we are actually stressing over whether to let men use the ladies room. We have run up a debt that can never be paid off, while while our leaders spend their days trying to convince us more taxes can “fix” the weather. Common sense and personal responsibility are abandoned, while perversion and escapism are glorified.
I believe the world will miss us once white Christians are gone, I guess that makes me a racist. Oh well, at least they’ll still have Allah.
Leon (168f33) — 4/6/2017 @ 3:47 pmAll this decadent stuff you described comes from White Anglo-Saxon “Christians”. The perversions and the escapism, and there are a lot more White Anglo-Saxon Protestants on government benefits than any other group. Not Mexicans, Muslims, Asians, Jews, or Southern Europeans.
nk (dbc370) — 4/6/2017 @ 3:59 pmYou’ve got Malibu right there, Leon. Who is more perverted and decadent? The Hollywood crowd and surfers dudes who live there or their nannies and housekeepers?

Leon (168f33) — 4/6/2017 @ 5:19 pmWhere do you get your numbers from? Just so you understand there are many more WASP’s than there are all those other groups in America. Try as a percentage of each group and see how those numbers shake out.
Your differentiation for Southern Europeans is cute. Is there some momentous difference between them and all the rest? And what are Americans, Canadians, Australians, Southern, Northern, Eastern or Western Europeans?

Thus, the popular perception has some basis in fact, if interpreted to mean that minorities have higher propensities to make use of the welfare system.”

Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 4/6/2017 @ 6:09 pmYes, Hoagie, you’re right. The reason that the Republican majority did not join the Freedom Caucus for full repeal of Obamacare was pressure from their black and brown constituencies. It was the same reason they did not defund Planned Parenthood. And the same reason why they will not reform welfare and Medicare and Social Security.

le lenny face (e00f66) — 4/7/2017 @ 1:10 amI have no problem with the fact that some minorities have a propensity to use more of the welfare services than others do. I do however, resent be called racist if I point that out and make issue that it should be addressed to help these folks become more productive citizens. I do not believe people have to be on welfare for years, decades and generations. They need a hand up not a hand out at that point. It has become a critical and may I say detrimental lifestyle choice.
Historically and by practicality there is no good reason in my view why the Republican Party is not the “go to” party for “brown” constituencies. It is our party which respects minorities, refuses to exploit them for voting fodder and has historically fought the Democrats for both the Freedom of minorities but also the social and economic upward mobility of such. The fact that the vast numbers of minorities go left, Democrat and socialist is a tribute to public funding of “walk around money” by low level Dem operatives, The Great Society, and sixty years of institutionalized victimhood propagandized by our tax payer funded public school syndicate.
It really pisses me off that we are constantly justifying that we are not racists because we actually DO believe people should be judged by their character and not color and that we are constantly out maneuvered by the Dems with regard to minority voting. . The Dems have successfully made the Party of Lincoln the enemy of the very Americans my forefathers fought and killed to free. Pisses me off!

It is illegal to use E-Verify to screen applicants. They must be hired before you can use E-Verify. If E-Verify cannot confirm them, then it is legal to continue to employ them. E-Verify is not a solution and does literally nothing.
