And notice the spin on this report at the Los Angeles Times below, positively portraying scandal-plagued Bell, while smearing Murrieta as "uncaring." Just yesterday the jail sentence was announced for former Bell Councilman George Mirabal, who could be out in weeks. Citizens interviewed on the local news last night were livid with this travesty of justice, saying that the Bell convicts should do extended prison terms.
And here comes the Hispanic Mayor of Bell, Nestor Valencia, who himself came here as a scum-sucking illegal immigrant, with plans to provide housing to waves of criminal, diseased illegals shipped to Southern California.
See, "Bell plans to shelter immigration detainees":
Nestor Valencia was 4 years old when he boarded a white van filled with piñatas and entered the United States illegally from Mexico.Bell cannot afford the influx. Even the mayor confesses so. But the Obama administration plans to continue the flood of illegals into the country, and pretty soon law-abiding patriot citizen households will be forced to feed, clothe, and housing the illegals from Central America. It's for the Democrat Party fatherland!
Now the mayor of Bell, he sees a little of himself in the thousands of children arriving at the U.S. border and entering detention facilities.
Valencia and other officials in the largely immigrant city are now working with the Salvation Army to create a temporary shelter for detainees who were part of a huge surge of Central American children crossing the border.
"My senses tell me this is the right thing to do," said Valencia, 49. "We're not a rich community, but we are wealthy in compassion and humanitarian."
The reaction in Bell is a marked contrast to Murrieta, where last week hundreds of protesters blocked buses trying to move detainees into a facility in the Riverside County city.
The protesters said they didn't want the detainees in their city, expressing concerns over security and diseases.
While the standoff generated national headlines, the reaction has been far less hostile in other parts of Southern California. The region has the largest population of Latin American immigrants in the country, and some residents feel a kinship with the plight of children.
The city of Coachella last week began taking in donations of food and supplies to send to children at its City Hall and Fire Department. On Tuesday, the city filled a U-Haul truck with donations for a shelter home in the Imperial County.
Councilman Steven Hernandez said he was heartened by the generosity, noting that neighboring Palm Springs has joined in the donation drive.
"We certainly understand the dynamics when it comes to people wanting to better their lives," Hernandez said. "Our city is 98% Latino. We have a lot of similar stories."
