of the City of Bakersfield and declaring the City of

PUBLIC STATEMENTS continued
Councilmember Couch stated for the record: "I
support legal immigration. I support programs which
exist today that allow people who wish to remain a
citizen of their home country but want to live and work
in the United States temporarily. I'm hopeful that
Congress and the President, whether it's our current
President or a future President, might be able to find a
way of addressing the fact that we have millions and
millions of people that may be here illegally but they
are law abiding, they are hard-working and they are tax-
paying citizens. But we do need to address that fact.
And we have to address also, and I recognize this may
be a minority, we have to address the fact that some
that have come here illegally are coming Just to obtain
benefits that are paid by taxpayers, even those that are
here legally. When it comes to the sanctuary city idea,
we take an oath of office when we are sworn In. And
It's my view, and others may have different opinions
and I will respect each and every ones' opinion, but it's
my view that that oath of office, we come dangerously
close to violating it were we to declare ourselves a
sanctuary city. I also recognize that having an open
border and a free society have national and homeland
security issues that really sort of get mixed into this
debate. Some will call them a red herring.
Unfortunately, they kind of have to be part of that
debate on immigration, but, I admit they do make that
discussion more difficult and more complicated. No
one is saying that you can't speak any language you
want in the City of Bakersfield. I don't think, you, we
would really change, any of our practices; that we
currently will provide an interpreter if someone,
typically Spanish speaking comes to the microphone
during a public hearing or during public statements,
we usually have one of our officers who is
bilingual and is able to interpret for us, and interpret for
the speaker. I doubt, that would change, we're not
advocating that. I think you could hardly say that we
discriminate if we do those types of things. I think
those are my comments Mayor, I'll look forward to
comments from the public and apologize that I do have
to leave early, I'm not leaving because I don't want to
hear what you have to say. I will get a tape of the
meeting and I will listen to the comments and I do
appreciate your attendance tonight. Thank you very
much. "
