BACKGROUND:
COSTA MESA CITY COUNCIL MEMBER GARY MONAHAN PROFITS FROM HIS IMMIGRANT HERITAGE, BUT HE VOTED TO MAKE MEXICANS AND CENTRO-AMERICANOS SUFFER FOR THEIRS.
AS OWNER OF SKOSH MONAHAN'S STEAKHOUSE AND IRISH PUB IN COSTA MESA, MONAHAN MAKES FINANCIAL GAIN FROM THE LABOR OF THE SAME IMMIGRANTS HE EXPLOITS FOR POLITICAL GAIN!
As a result of the anti-immigrant policies of the Costa Mesa city council's ruling troika (Mayor Allan Mansoor and Eric Bever are the others), Chicano residents of the city are reportedly avoiding normal activities like going outside or shopping for fear of being harassed swept up by Costa Mesa police. Some local business owners report that business is down by 30 percent.
This is the direct result of policies that are not only unjust but unnecessary from a law enforcement perspective--policies that not even the Costa Mesa police chief supports, although he feels legally bound to follow them.
