Migrants protest border ploy, want governor out

Governor called ‘bully' on border

By Steve Geissinger Sacramento Bureau

Hundreds of {invaders/criminals} immigrants joined by {ethnic hustlers and traitors} Democratic minority lawmakers called Monday for the ouster of Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, saying his support of armed citizen patrols on the Mexican border was "terrible," "irresponsible" and "discriminatory." {illegals aliens breaking our laws and not guarding our borders and enforcing our laws isn't irresponsible?}

The so-called Minuteman Project involves hundreds of volunteers, some armed, who have been patrolling the Arizona border since April 1 to document and report incidents of illegal crossing. The group is planning its first California patrols near San Diego in August.

"Today, we're here to fight back" against what President Bush has denounced as vigilantism, said Assemblyman Hector De La Torre, D-South Gate, among a string of Southern California and San Francisco Bay Area lawmakers who addressed demonstrators outside the state capitol.

"We're here to yell and scream and stand up to the bullying that's coming out of that building," De La Torre said.

With next year's gubernatorial elections looming, Assemblyman Albert Torrico, D-Newark, said Schwarzenegger has "become an embarrassment to our state." {and the assembly isn't already an embarrassment?}

"Let's show him the back door to the capitol. Let's send him back to Hollywood," Torrico said, drawing thunderous approval from a chanting crowd that waved signs like: "Arnold said close the borders: Go home now (governor)." {I would just assume to show them the door first}

Schwarzenegger spokesman Vince Sollitto said afterward that Schwarzenegger, as an immigrant from Austria, understands the contributions immigrants have made to California and the nation.

But the governor also "appreciates the difference between legal and illegal immigration" and the need for "public safety and homeland security."

Schwarzenegger first triggered controversy when he said California needed to close the border to control illegal immigration. After he was criticized, he apologized and said he meant government needed to do more to secure the borders.

The governor then praised the Minuteman Project, saying it reduced the flow of illegal immigrants in Arizona. He now says he didn't endorse the Minutemen but that the federal government is falling short of doing its job of securing borders.

Last questioned on the issue, Schwarzenegger sidestepped the matter by saying, "I love Mexico." {if only this coward would stand by his words}

"Comments by Gov. Schwarzenegger have drawn attention to immigrants' presence in a terribly negative way," said Reshma Shamasunder, director of the California Immigrant Welfare Collaborative, which organized the protest. "Immigrants contribute in a major way to our great state." {they contribute greatly to the billions of dollars of debt, the ravaging of our health care and education systems and they do a wonderful job of contributing to the states criminal and gang problems too}

Assemblywoman Wilma Chan, D-Oakland, told the demonstrators "this is a country of immigrants" so it's "very surprising there's still so much discrimination." {yeah, but we're not a country of illegal aliens stupid}

"We have to tell our governor we don't want vigilantes with guns standing on our borders," Chan said. "We want health care, we want decent education, we want care for our elderly. That's what we're fighting for today." {you need to go take that fight south of the border amigo}

We need to send emails, faxes and phone calls to the good Governor and let him know that he is doing the right thing by stopping the tsunami of criminal illegal alien traffic in his state.

Now if we can just get the other states to do the same.

Where are you, Mr. President?
