IRVINE, Calif. — California Republican Meg Whitman, the former boss of eBay, wanted to make it clear this week that she’s not playing hot-button politics with the divisive issue of immigration in her gubernatorial primary battle against Steve Poizner.

“You haven’t seen an ad from me with the border fence,â€

upscale Orange County enclave of Palos Verdes Estates.

Is not in OC it's in LA county. If any republican thinks they can win the race for Governor without taking a hard line on illegal aliens they're misinformed. How do you think Arnold got elected Gray Davis wanted to give drivers licenses to illegals and was impeached for it. So to keep anyone from running as an enforcement candidate they say you can't win if your not open border wacko. Californian always votes against open borders candidates.
