Councilman Couch needs a lot of support on this. I live in the Central Valley and the Central Valley of California has been overrun by illegals (my town too). This is the Agricultural base of California......THIS IS GROUND ZERO. Illegal immigrants are more or less tradition here due to the farming base. He didn't make the formal presentation of his resolutions yet, he's testing the water. We need to support him and any other Council member of any City who supports enforcement of our laws. If we make headway in this Valley it will spread like wildfire. The Farmers are the big power here. To be effective we have to also encourage Congress to allow tax incentives, etc; for the farmers to mechanize. There are deep roots here and long standing practices using illegals. We have to go where the money is as well; and that means the farmers and ranchers. The farmers are having Union problems; this could be a good point to magnify as to why they should mechanize:
