February 26, 2006) Costa Mesa's Minuteman Mayor, Allan Mansoor, says that having police officers determine the immigration status of suspected “criminal aliens” won't result in racial profiling or “sweeps.” His only intention is to protect all residents from crime, he says, adding that only people who commit “serious” crime will be targeted.
But can the Mayor and Costa Mesa police be trusted?
When speaking at a recent meeting of the California Coalition for Immigration Reform (a Neo-Fascist/Nativist hate group), where he happily accepted his honorary membership to the Minuteman Project (also a Neo-Fascist/Nativist hate group), the Mayor indicated that he had accepted a less “comprehensive” version of his own original proposal to ensure its passage, but he agreed that police officers should be allowed to stop any person and ask for proof of legal residency, a practice that would lead to the racial profiling and mass sweeps that he now says are not intended.
