California, with the nation's largest illegal-immigrant population, will soon be governed by a man who opposes issuing driver's licenses to such aliens but supports granting them in-state tuition rates and favors a broad amnesty.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, who won last week's recall election and will be sworn in after the votes are certified, has indicated he will be active on the issues at the state and federal level.

California, with the nation's largest illegal-immigrant population, will soon be governed by a man who opposes issuing driver's licenses to such aliens but supports granting them in-state tuition rates and favors a broad amnesty.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, who won last week's recall election and will be sworn in after the votes are certified, has indicated he will be active on the issues at the state and federal level.

"When it comes to foreign workers, to undocumented immigrants, I will make sure that if you're going to work in that direction, it's one of the things that I will be talking about with the federal government," he said in his postelection news conference.

Several lawmakers in Congress, including Reps. Jim Kolbe and Jeff Flake, both Arizona Republicans, have urged Mr. Schwarzenegger to use his position to push for a federal legalization program.

What I was talking about, all along.

Kolbe and Flake are the House sponsors of H.R 2899, the companion legislation to John McCain's S. 1461 Amnesty, about which Schwarzenegger has expressed support on a number of occasions.

I'll lay you odds, that the anointed one will be pushing a worker program. Any takers? He's one of them, which is why McClintock should have been elected.

Arnold was all for amnesty when he thought Bush was going to bail California out.

Maybe Arnold has an excuse to change his position on illegal immigration, since Bush said no to Arnold's $20 billion dollar request.

I really don't think that Arnold - or very many republican office holders - realize that illegal immigration is more likely to doom them than traditional economics.

We have been through bad economic times, right now we seem headed toward better times with a high debt carried over from the past and present; we chould be able to handle that. What we have yet to see from officials - other than a very few - is a sign that they understand that Americans do not want to be bankers for the third world. Particularly for a third world that is being given free access to our streets and our schools.

When politicians refuse even to divorce legal immigration from illegal invasion; the lessons have not taken hold.

When government spends tax dollars to maintain and foster law breaking non-citizens and refuses to enforce what are some of the most lenient immigration laws in the world; 'traditional economy' has no meaning. It's the now economy baby!

As many of you know...I have posted that THE PROBLEM above all problems we are facing is going to be the illegal immigration issue. Actually, the immigration issue is THE PROBLEM along with the multitude of religious beliefs and languages that are coming in with it. The leadership is NOT mandating a common language and cannot mandate a common belief. Balkanization is next.

Just maybe Arnold is following, and not leading, the standard GOP-Rove postitions in order to have the support of the party like he got. In any case Arnold will sell the public out on any revisiting Prop. 187 and any sense that Arnold will fix the financial mess created by the invasion is gone.

Expect financial implosion.

aliens but supports granting them in-state tuition rates

I wonder how much foreign tuition rates bring into California. It would be completely stupid for a foreign student from any country to pay the higer rates --- or for an American student to pay out-of-state tuition rates when illegal status rewards you with the cheap taxpayer subsidized rates. This will invite all students who want to go to college in California to just come illegally into the country --- bypass the student visa process and get low tuition.

against Mexican migrants is not something that encourages us. It's totally the opposite," said Rep. Carlos Jimenez, secretary of the foreign relations committee in the lower house of Mexico's Congress

Of course it concerns you Senor Jimenez and your other filthy rich elites ---- if immigration slows down, you will have to make some changes in your corrupt greedy system that denies the majority of your people all the wealth and resources your country holds. You are doing all you can to prevent the rise of a middle class ---- hopefully things are about to come to an end for you.

I'm watching for Arnold's new website, and I think he will be deluged with e-mails about this very issue, which no one in Washington will admit is California's biggest problem.

Hi Janet
If you have gone to the web site, Federation for Immigration Reform, maybe you have seen on the left the listing, click on Research. They have all the stats for every state, from the Census Bureau, covering, water, schools, cost to the taxpayers for jailed illegals, lose of open space, all the info you need for a really good fax.

I figure they will not be in Washington D.C forever, and then they will have to live with water rationing etc, that they have forced on us. California, water wise is in bad shape, along with Arizona.
I think your new Gov, should get these faxs sent to him also.
