All three cities where temporary shelters had been proposed—Irvine, Huntington Beach and Laguna Niguel—threatened to file their own lawsuits against the county if the plan were enacted, arguing that it placed an unfair burden on their communities.

Quote #1 - Santa Ana school board president Valerie Amezcu: “We’ve taken the brunt...our kids can’t use the libraries. Our kids go to school in the morning, and somebody is sleeping in front of our schools.

Quote #2 - Irvine mayor Christina L. Shea: “Because the county has chosen to close their eyes and not solve the problem, all of a sudden they’re saying, just build a tent here next to $1 million homes.”

Comment: in olden times caring was optional. Now, you will be made to care.

See the women and non-white men--looks like America!

Orange County officials on Tuesday voted to condemn...California’s so-called sanctuary state law, which strictly limits when and how local authorities can cooperate with federal immigration authorities.

Comment #1 (an imagined dialogue):
California: "You can take your Washington immigration law and shove it."
Orange County: "You can take your Sacramento immigration law and shove it."
California: "You can't because that's different."

Comment #2: before you go to war, shore up your home front first.
