A proposal to decriminalize sidewalk vending in Los Angeles is scheduled to be taken up next month, prompted by concerns that people who are in the country illegally and convicted of misdemeanors for street peddling could be deported when Donald Trump assumes the presidency.

The plan, which has been in the works for more than a year, would remove criminal penalties for vending. In addition, the proposal would make it so that vendors seeking a permit would no longer be asked about their immigration or citizenship status.

Council members Curren Price and Joe Buscaino announced the proposed policy, stating that a Dec. 12 public hearing on the issues is scheduled at City Hall.

Heheheh!

Ah, the irony that progressives, in order to protect illegal aliens, would roll back regulatory capture!

Maybe we Texans can get Austin liberals on board with this? Not only by engaging in regulatory decapture among street vendors but by removing State and local licensing schemes from the backs of other businesses too.

The LA Raza, formerly LA city council will now put legitimate businesses in financial peril to support their illegal thugs.

Wait until the food poisoning events reach record levels with third world thugs with filthy hands and clothes start preparing food to sell on the Streets of La Raza, formerly LA.

The illegals are taking business away from legal businesses that pay taxes and comply with regulations. How would you like it if you owned a small restaurant and paid rent. One day you have a guy on the sidewalk in front of your business who pays no rent, no taxes, but he is a Mexican and there is nothing you can do about it.

So citizens of United States must obey all laws, get permits, have insurance and follow all the other regulations the government has, but if you are in this country illegally you don’t.

Sweet. /s

Food trucks provide an entrepreneur with limited capital, the opportunity to open a business without having to finance the cost of a storefront operation.

And that is always good for America and our economy.

“I’ll tell you what....I wish you California idiots WOULD secede from the United States....”

That would only increase the flow of illegals out of California by several orders of magnitude

And can they afford to lose federal funding? Trump needs to be steadfast on cutting off any funds he has immediate control over and should press congress to do same with funds that they can pull.
