After reading hundreds of newspaper articles about illegal immigration in small towns, I don't think I've read about a town that hasn't yet experienced the "wonders" of "liberalism". In almost all of those stories there are some "liberals"/corrupt local officials/profiteers around who support illegal immigration and the agenda of a hostile foreign government.

Not so in this case:

Lake Havasu City recently denied a request by the Mexican government to set up an office in the Aquatic Center to process Mexican Consulate identity cards.

City Manager Richard Kaffenberger stated in his report before the Lake Havasu City Council Tuesday that the country of Mexico had contacted the city about opening an office here to process matricula consular ID cards. That request was turned down.

..."If you are a resident alien you have a green card," said Kaffenberger. "You obviously have ID."

Kaffenberger received support for denying the request from council members Margaret Nyberg, Bruce Hinman and Bob Crabtree.

Kaffenberger said he did not believe the city was the proper place for this sort of office.

"If there was a need for that kind of thing, I would have thought they would have gone to the church or some place like that," he said. "I just don't think a municipal government facility, paid for by the taxpayers or Lake Havasu City, is the appropriate venue for this kind of thing."

State Sen. Ron Gould (R-District 3) said he was also in support of the city's denial of the office.

"If we start doing this kind of stuff, all we're doing is encouraging people to aid and abet illegal aliens," he said.

"If President Fox wants to help his folks out, maybe he should get rid of corruption in his own government so they quit coming across the border, rather than providing resources for them in the United States," Gould added.

This article is so shocking I have trouble believing it, yet there it is.
