According to an article in the [1] LA Daily News:  “In an unusual twist on the national immigration debate, the city of Simi Valley sent a $40,000 bill Wednesday to a church harboring an undocumented immigrant after a protest there over the weekend prompted a police presence.”

Regardless of the underlying Church sheltering an undocumented alien issue, this looks like another local politician trying to make a name for himself using the issue of immigration.  How does a three hour protest that had between four and fifteen officers at any given time come out to $40,000?  That comes out to roughly $100 hourly per officer - maybe more.  Perhaps that’s what the city’s taxpayers should be looking into.  Just my two cents.
