KEEP OUT: Lobbyists are already blitzing Rep. Elton Gallegly’s plan to allow states to ban illegal immigrants from public schools, which cleared the House and may hit the Senate next week . . . “How can anyone advocate throwing thousands of children onto the streets without supervision, where they will become both victims and criminals?” police lobbyist Richard Roberts said Wednesday at a D.C. news conference . . . Gallegly responds: “As long as we have a law on the books that you should not illegally enter this country, we should enforce that law.”

CLOSED-DOOR POLICY: The Camarillo City Council may have stumbled on to the perfect solution for public bodies weary of long meetings . . . This week, the council sailed through a brief session with few citizen speakers. “We were wondering why there were only three people here,” says Councilman Mike Morgan . . . Afterward, they found out: The door to the council chambers was locked. No one else could get in.

LITTLE JUMBO: Allen Brasher has seen some firepower as manager of Shooters Paradise in Simi Valley. But the only monster he’d seen like the one Simi Valley police test-fired Thursday was with Arnold Schwarzenegger in “Terminator 2” . . . This one, though, just fires big plastic bullets that police hope will safely subdue dangerous people (B1) . . . So Brasher has no plans to trade up. “It just kind of goes ‘pop’ and that’s it,” he said. “The bullet moves so slow you actually see it going down the range.”

CHILD’S GARDEN: Some startling images populate the poetry compiled by inmates at Camarillo State Hospital (B1), especially in the works of children . . . “You make me mad/Then I have to go in restraints,” writes Kathleen W. . . . “My problem is/That I want to die/But I live,” pens Juan M. . . . And from Veronica P.: “I wanna go home ‘cause I miss my nintendo and my barbies/I wanna go home ‘cause I miss my men and my phone.”
