The stage was set for a chilling reality show. Costa Mesa had transformed itself into the epicenter of the immigration debate, and today it is a real microcosm of what is taking place across the nation. This city is a vivid portrayal of how right-wing interest groups politicized local governments. This new breed of politicians and political activists is making every effort possible to stop the flow of immigrant Latinos and U.S.-Latinos into Costa Mesa. Their main objective is to kick Latinos out of this city. Book jacket.
