That is so sad. It really is. Here's the full text of the article:
California GOP Largely Abandons Immigration Position
September 24, 2015 By State & Local 24 Comments
Last Sunday, delegates of the California Republican Party voted to substantially abandon the party’s position on immigration. (LA Times, Sept. 21, 2015; Breitbart, Sept. 21, 2015) The changes to the platform were made at the party’s semi-annual convention in Anaheim, California.
Notably, the term “illegal alien” was eliminated entirely from the vocabulary of the platform. Delegates to the California GOP convention also removed language stating that allowing illegal aliens to remain in the United States “undermines respect for the law” and added a disclaimer asserting California Republicans “hold diverse views on the subject.” Delegates also removed language supporting cross-deputizing state and county law enforcement to help federal officials enforce immigration law against criminal aliens from the platform.
(Breitbart, Sept. 21, 2015) Language supporting guest worker programs for illegal aliens, however, was included with the omission of the requirement that workers have identification with biometric data.
Changes to the party platform were reportedly made to attract more Hispanic members to the California GOP. (OC Register, Sept. 21, 2015) Many Republicans at the convention blamed tough immigration rhetoric as the cause of failures in statewide elections, despite polling suggesting Republican constituents support tougher enforcement of immigration law. Delegates also failed to acknowledge that most Hispanic citizens vote Democrat for the party’s position on economic matters, and generally not for the party’s position on immigration. Some delegates also commented that these changes were influenced in part as a reaction to presidential candidate Donald Trump’s remarks on immigration. “[Trump] does not speak for me or Republicans or my party,” said Marcelino Valdez, the Central Valley regional vice chairman who authored the updated immigration plank.
Not all delegates at the convention support the changes to the platform. “I preferred the concrete and specific language in the former California GOP platform,” commented Robin Hvidston, an associate delegate who voted against the platform changes.
While the California GOP’s revisions show a substantial change of the party’s traditional position of protecting California workers and taxpayers, the party’s platform still denounces amnesty. The new platform also continues to support strengthening border control, imposing higher penalties for visa-overstays, and restricting federal funding from jurisdictions that refuse to cooperate with immigration officials, often called “sanctuary cities.”

"Marcelino Valdez, the Central Valley regional vice chairman who authored the updated immigration plank......."
mexican reconquesta in action (they were taught in their schools how to carry out this movement) was certainly not initiated by their dumb a...s.
Maybe another civil war among the states is in the future and may the righteous be triumphant. California was a beautiful USA state along a gorgeous Pacific Ocean coastline. NY and California, east and west coast were the pulse of the nation internationally and it is very sad but the seeds have been sown and are sprouting now. NY & Ca's illegal worker numbers are of the highest # too.
WAKE UP AMERICA! DOMINATE OR BE DOMINATED!
(The term reconquesta was also used by the Crusaders to rid the muslim invaders from spain_is there a muslim connection to this overthrow of America) Bush family has bought land heavily in south america with under land water rights. Have also read that any nuclear pollution will not penetrate south of the equator. Food for thought.

With all of his faults, with all of the differences I have with him over the specifics of policy, I respect Donald Trump as a man’s man, a male with balls in a world of Western cultural Eloi.
Perhaps he is the last of a generation of real men in aWestern culture putrid with the rot of Marxism.Last edited by csarbww; 09-27-2015 at 03:19 PM.

It's really sad to see the California GOP do this. I guess they don't care about the American citizens having to underwrite their state's problems, with 87% of illegal aliens on welfare, and California having the largest number of illegal aliens, it's highly damaging and disrespectful to the citizens in the rest of the country who have to pay for this mess in California.
Shame On You!
And look at this part of the article:
Some delegates also commented that these changes were influenced in part as a reaction to presidential candidate Donald Trump’s remarks on immigration. “[Trump] does not speak for me or Republicans or my party,” said Marcelino Valdez, the Central Valley regional vice chairman who authored the updated immigration plank.
In fact, someone needs to look into just how Republican you really are. What you have done is akin to what a mole or NCLR plant would do.A Nation Without Borders Is Not A Nation - Ronald Reagan
