To the Escondido City Council: We the undersigned support the proposal put forth by Escondido City Council member Olga Diaz to rescind Resolution 2007-16, which states that the City will “address the public nuisance of illegal immigration by aggressively working to prohibit and address acts, policies, people and businesses that aid and abet illegal aliens.” This resolution that passed in 2007 is offensive and divisive and has no place as a guiding policy for the city.
I have spent the last few days assembling a formal report based on the feedback provided in the comments section. This document will be delivered to the City Council office to ensure they acknowledge the specific concerns regarding Resolution 2007-16. Our next step involves requesting a formal review of the policy during the upcoming public hearing.

The growth of this petition reached a threshold that demands a response from the City Council. I am drafting a formal letter to accompany these signatures for delivery to the mayor and council members this week.

This resolution is just embarrassing for our city. It makes us look hateful and small minded. Time to get rid of it already.

Finally someone is pushing to change this nonsense. It doesn't represent the people who actually live here.
