working for the benefit of Santa Ana.

tinued at reduced funding levels; that if full funding is
received, On-the-Job Training, Vocational Education Special,
and Adult Work Experience programs will be added, but that

aliens in Santa Ana.
232 JUNE 21, 1976
Police Chief Raymond Davis stated that because enforcement of
immigration law is practically non-existent, Santa Ana has
become known as a haven for illegal aliens; that through a
survey conducted by the Police Department, its officers are
contacting approximately 52 illegal aliens per night; that
there is an increase in the street hustlers from Tijuana;
that many of them are financing their stay with narcotics trad-
ing; that they live 10 to 12 persons in a small apartment;
that in estimating the problem, it has been determined that
there are upwards of 50,000 illegal aliens in the central city
of Santa Aha; that the economic impact amounts to about $54
million in wages; that the Police Department decided to have
a community meeting to refute the rumor that the Police Depart-
ment planned a sweep action; that a meeting was held on elec-
tion night (June 8); that on that night there was a water leak
in the City Hall and the meeting had to be moved to the Annex;
that the Police Department is working with organizations such as
LULAC and the Chamber of Commerce to develop a policy of
enforcement while still maintaining a good relationship with
the community; and that lessening of the problem of the illegal
alien will have an impact on the crime rate.
Captain Thayer of the Police Department added that a number of
the people who appeared at the Human Relations Commission
meeting were from outside Santa Aha.
Mildred Cobb stated that the Human Relations Commission is not
antagonistic toward what the Police Department is doing; that
the people are very emotional about the issue; that people are
frightened and that further public meetings would be helpful;
that the HRC would like to have the City Council hold a hear-
ing, but that the HRC will hold further meetings if the Council
so desires; however, that Commissioners feel that the people
lack confidence in the Commission, since it does not have
the authority to do anything about the situation..
Zeke Hernandez, HRC Commissioner, added that he felt that several
mistakes were made: That the Police Department did not allow
enough time for meetings to prepare the public for a change in
alien enforcement policy; that in his opinion the Police Depart-
ment is not well-informed on the number of undocumented persons
in the City.
The consensus of Council was that there will always be a certain
number of complaints from people who have frequent contact with
the Police Department; that sensitive problems should be re-
solved at the Commission level, with recommendations from.the
Commission to the Council; that Councilmen do not wish to set
up a confrontation; that there is a great deal of confidence
on the part of Councilmen in Chief Davis; that the Police Depart-
ment is charged with enforcing the law.
Deputy City Manager Manuel Rede expressed an opinion that there
is a lot of Mexican-American support in the community for en-
forcement of immigration laws, but that they are not vocal.
Councilman Ward, with the concurrence of the Councilmen present,
encouraged the~Human:Relations Commission to cooperate with the
Police:Department to work out a suitable policy regarding the
illegal alien problem. CA 131.1
