Reparations for Deported Latinos?

Responding to a little-known chapter in U.S. history, the Assembly yesterday voted to establish a state fund that could be used to pay reparations to survivors of a massive deportation of Latinos in the 1930s.

By a 41-23 vote, lawmakers approved a bill by Sen. Joe Dunn, D-Garden Grove, that also would create a 16-member commission to make recommendations to the governor and Legislature on how to redress the deportations.

It would take subsequent legislation to appropriate money for the fund, however.

The bill is a response to a Hoover administration policy that attempted to remove illegal immigrants to open up jobs during the Depression.

But most of the 2 million people who were deported to Mexico were U.S. citizens or legal immigrants, bill supporters say. Of the 400,000 Californians deported, some returned and fewer than 5,000 now live in the state.

I can explain this one for you, in deportation dependent minors are kept with their parents. Under the doctrine of lex soli a child born in the United States to illegal aliens while a citizen is not an exuse for their parents to remain here. The children must follow them back to their parents countries of origin. The Mexican activists behind this meaure are trying to establish a prescedent. That is if an American born child of illegal aliens here now is to be deported by the US government the family headed by the Mexican illegals have a financial claim against our government.

There were a very few cases in which an adult American who had Mexican ancestors was accidentally and illegally deported.

And we wonder why CA is billions of dollars in debt and looking like an overglorified third world cesspit.

I have an idea!! How about we deport California and ALL of these politicians with it? They'd work much better in Mexico.

Good idea, RoadRunner.

Have I missed something? Is money now growing on trees in America
If so, where do you buy the seeds to plant these money trees? I'd like one, and I think 294 million (Fair, Sept. 2005) American citizens would like one too.
