To bad. I use to like him personally..but he has ZERO credibility as a potential "President Garcetti."
Today, he and other Mayors went to the Texas border to try to visit these children in these immigration holding facilities and were turned away.
I think Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti should take a walk down Skid Row once in awhile and start doing something about the thousands of homeless children and 50000 adults who are eating out of garbage cans...
Eric Garcetti sent out a "political email blast" to his supporters this afternoon praising his efforts today....patting himself on the back....and then pitches for "donations" to local service groups in LA...to "help the effort."
Eric...stop your grandstanding. Your ego is out of control. Fix the CHILD HOMELESS EPIDEMIC in LA. Stop telling President Trump how to do his job. Just stop the "side show" that is becoming your political legacy.
I will let you read his email for yourself...By the way....under your leadership, LA has become a shit hole....yep...I said it....
Dear Randy,
I've been to lawless places, and I've visited places under authoritarian rule. But nothing prepared me, especially as a parent and a public official, for my visit to Tornillo, TX today.
That's because I visited a place where children are being imprisoned, alone, without their parents. And our own government put them there.
Children aren't poker chips. They are the most precious of people, and they deserve protection -- not persecution -- from Washington. They must be reunited with their families now. That was the message our bipartisan coalition of mayors delivered today in Texas
The American people are standing united against this horror, from coast to coast, Republican and Democrat alike. And faced with public outcry, the White House has started backing down.
But make no mistake -- President Trump's executive order does nothing for the 2,300 children already locked up. He is counting on his gameplan of distraction and division to move us on to the next "big story." We have to get off this circus ride. We have to save these kids, and we have to bring regime change to Washington.
Our values are not negotiable. America is a nation that should always lead with heart and humanity.
But today, any pretense that Washington is built by the people, of the people, and for the people is gone. The American people are compassionate and decent, but what our government has been doing to these children is obscene.
Yes, this was President Trump's policy. But the Republican Congress could have stopped it at any time, too. And they didn't. They have abandoned their role as a check on the executive branch. They are collaborators.
President Trump is not on the ballot until 2020. But his agenda can be stopped if we take back Congress in November.
Don't let these congressional collaborators hide under the chaos that President Trump brings. We must expose them for who they are -- lockstep tools of President Trump; cowards who traumatize children because they won't stand up to the bully in the White House; craven politicians who favor the wealthy over working people.
They want to divide us into two Americas: urban vs. rural, coastal vs. heartland, immigrant vs. native born. They know that if we're fighting each other, they have free reign to enrich their benefactors, promote themselves, and ignore our needs. Despite the horrors along our border, the truth is that the American people, across all 50 states, are honorable and neighborly. They believe that our nation is strongest when more people have a shot at the American dream, and when America sets the global standard for justice and equality.
There are two Americas today; but it's Washington vs. the rest of us.
It's time for the rest of us to take our country back.
- Eric.
