The Mayor of Los Angeles Welcomes Illegals

The Daily Bulletin reports:
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa were among the speakers who addressed Saturday's jubilant crowd from City Hall's south balcony.

"I come today, mayor of the city of Los Angeles, to welcome you, the immigrants, who built this city, God bless you," Villaraigosa said.

The crowd roared and chanted "Si, se puede," Spanish for "Yes, it can be done."

"We come together to say that we are workers, not criminals; that we work hard, we pay our taxes, we play by the rules and we want this great America to take us into account," Villaraigosa said.
When you look at the numbers one wonders if Villaraigosa understands that the whole world can't come to the United States and expect there wouldn't be financial problems.But, then Villaraigosa runs a school system where 44% of 9th graders fail algebra.Maybe the good Mayor is absorbing some real math lessons from those fine L.A. public schools.
