City of Orange "defends" turning illegal aliens over to Border Patrol

The City of Orange in Orange County arrested eight day laborers on Friday and turned them over to the Border Patrol. They admitted to being here illegally.

Now, we're supposed to believe that this decision is something that has to be defended. The AP offers that view in "Orange city officials defend turning over arrested day laborers to immigration authorities":

City officials are defending the decision to turn eight arrested day laborers over to immigration authorities.

In other news, Newport Beach is defending their decision to shut down a polluting lead smelter in their city. And, Huntington Beach is defending their decision to enforce zoning laws. Going even further, Seal Beach is also considering defending their decision to have a police force at all.

Could it be the cities are growing some spine? Hope so.

Great, lets hope there is a trend like this throughout California. Americans need to defend the laws of America and its borders. Our federal government won't do it, so keep up the good work!
