Sorry to insist that proper procedure be followed, but I believe in the law...NOT LYNCH MOBS!

Maybe I'm wrong and it's not intentional, but your extremist reaction is introducing prejudice into this that will without a doubt be to the benefit of Jerry Brown and his bid for the Governorship...can you honestly tell me that you're not aware of that.
Enforce the law yes, but follow the proper legal procedure while you're doing it and frankly, you're position ignores the investigation and jumps straight to the arrest and destroys any claims of impartiality or moral superiority you might try to make.
If you really believe in the law, then you should trust the process...that is the most glaring weakness in your opinion.
As an employer, Whitman has an obligation and responsibility to do her due diligence in hiring an employee, or in deciding what agency to use to do her hiring for her. If she were any other employer found with illegals in her employ, she would already be in very deep trouble!
I never heard any call to LYNCH anyone--that is inflammatory language! ALIPAC is calling for the government to do what they would normally do. It's obvious that the illegal was in Whitman's employ, and there whould be a deep investigation into that fact. If that requires an arrest to get that kind of investigation, then so be it. The fact remains that anyone NOT in power would already be arrested or, at the least, would be undergoing intensive grilling by the authorities. It's high time that our elected officials and the wealthy powerful in our society answered for their actions like the rest of us would be required to do. If she's exonerated, then fine, but that may be best decided be a jury and a court!
I'm sure William is perfectly aware of how this may affect the gubernatorial race in CA, BUT ALIPAC MUST BE CONSISTENT. If we are calling for the arrest of illegal immigrant law breakers, then we must also call for the arrest of America law breakers.
We as a nation have to realize that we MUST hold our politicians accountable, no matter what party they happen to belong to. CA has unethical, liberal candidates for governor because this is what they have tolerated for so long. It's up to the citizens of CA to get in there and FIGHT for good candidates. It takes a long time to turn the huge ship of state around, but it can be done!
As for trusting the process, how's that working out for us in the illegal immigration fight? Not so hot, as far as I can see. I believe we must often push our officials to do the right thing, just as we are trying to get them to enforce our immigration laws. It's a matter of being consistent in asking for laws to be enforced. Either our laws matter, or they don't. Which is it?
Okay, so "William" is aware of how this will impact the Governors race..I never doubted that for a second and I'm sure grabbing some attention and getting his name out there in the middle of this was never even a consideration :roll:
Holding politicians accountable and calling for the arrest of a candidate for Governor at this late date in the race are two different things.
You don't trust the process, that's fine, but what does that leave us...hot heads spouting off when it's convenient for their cause and demanding that someone be arrested even before there is evidence to support an arrest?
Like I said...lynch mob.
