The House ethics committee announced Wednesday that it had voted to establish an investigative subcommittee to review a misdemeanor charge against Rep. Bob Filner (D-Calif.) for his alleged assault of a Dulles airport baggage employee in August.

U.S. Representative Bob Filner (Democrat, California), an often times mean-spirited politico from San Diego, has ties with the PRD that could allow him to influence anti-American politics in people like Elsa de la Paz Esquivel. And even since the October 7 election Filner has sought to further inflame Mexican passions against Schwarzenegger.

[b]“The win by Schwarzenegger could bring negative consequences to Mexicans living in California. We know very little about Schwarzenegger, but one thing we do know is that his main political ally is Pete Wilson, the same governor who was clearly against the migrant community and who pushed for proposition 187.
