OF THE CITY OF
SUPPORT FOR
WHEREAS, the people of California have suffered and are
suffering the consequences caused by the presence of illegal

reduces the availability of such services for the citizens and
legal residents of our community; and

utilize false documents to obtain employment in violation of
Federal Law, Immigration and Nationality Act: Unlawful Employment
of Aliens, Sec. 274A [8 USC 1324a]; and
WHEREAS, many of the illegal aliens who come to or reside in
California present a burden to our law enforcement services and
a threat to the public safety of our citizens and legal
residents; and
WHEREAS, the Federal Government has failed to enforce its
own laws and the State Government has failed to support new laws
for the protection of the people of the City of Tustin, and in
the State of California it has become necessary for the people to
utilize the initiative process and act on their own behalf for
their own self-protection; and
WHEREAS, the people have illustrated their support of
Proposition 187, the Save Our State initiative, and qualified it
for the November ballot,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of 'the
City of Tustin, California, hereby endorses Proposition 187 and
urges the electors of this city to vote "yes" at the time of the

endorse this initiative that represents the enforcement of our
i~tmigration laws and will support those concepts within the

reconfirm their oath of office to uphold the constitution and
direct the lives and welfare of our citizens and legal residents.
