Schwarzenegger Reaffirms Support for Minutemen

Posted on Jul 12, 2006
The Calif. governor said about the group of private citizens who are patrolling the country’s border with Mexico, “I support any time that a civilian wants to go and do the job that law enforcement cannot do.”

Ironically, the governor made the statement at a campaign stop while trying to burnish his credentials with Latino voters--many of whom view Minutemen as akin to the KKK.

Also, higher up in the piece: Karl Rove gets booed while trying to woo Latinos at a conference.

L.A. Times (half way down the piece):

... Immigration politics also surfaced in California’s gubernatorial race Tuesday, with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger renewing his support for the civilian Minuteman border patrols at a campaign stop to showcase his Latino supporters in a Mexican restaurant in Lynwood.

“I support any time that a civilian wants to go and do the job that law enforcement cannot do,” Schwarzenegger said in response to a question.

“I’m for that. I’m not for any harassment. I’m not for anyone carrying weapons. I’m not for any of that.

“But I have, for instance, in my house — for years and years and years — I’ve hired private security to take care of my house, because I felt that the police could not really cover every single house and protect the children and families.”

Cut from the LA Times.

"But I have, for instance, in my house — for years and years and years — I've hired private security to take care of my house, because I felt that the police could not really cover every single house and protect the children and families."

State Treasurer Phil Angelides, Schwarzenegger's Democratic challenger in the November election, has tried to undercut his support among Latinos by citing the governor's support for the Minuteman group.

My Goodness Schwarzenegger doesn't know which way to go. He has been on both sides of the fence so many times. I guess he is Figuring that his appearance at La Raza was a bad step now. Heck if he keep flip Floping I will have to start calling him Schwarzenkerry.

Years ago there was a tv series on that played his song it went something like " They call him Flipper, Flipper"

I remember that song! That dates how old we are!!

Don't worry, Arnold will side with the Aztlan avengers tomorrow.

I agree Arnold is not going to get re-elected as he keeps swapping sides and alienating all groups. What an idiot, pick a side and stick with it moron.

To lsmith1338 :

You're right Ismith. He IS an idiot. He should have stuck with his anti- illegal immigration rhetoric, which got him elected the first time, instead of throwing his cash in with the globalist NAU "Mexico is our friend" crowd!
Schwarzenegger's campaign managers believe that the Republicans (that includes me) will hold their nose while voting for him, only because we HATE Phil Angelides. However, I'm SOOO disgusted with his (Arnolds') pandering- that I'll vote for a Green party candidate instead of him.

Good for you. That's what all Republicans should do, vote third party. These frauds all think that they can just trot out some piece of crap candidate who sucks in every way, but we are suppose to hold our noses and waste our time voting for this chump because the other guy is slightly worse. I'd rather not vote at all, because voting for the lesser of the two evils is still evil and a vote for Arnold or any politican like him means that you condone what he's done IMO. Nope, i'm not giving these chumps my seal of approval. You want my vote then you better earn it and pandering to criminals isn't going to work.
