Funny how the California Recall candidates have basically come down to two illegal aliens and one American.

I don't use the word "bigot" very often, but lines like this have be dusting it off. Or how about "nativist"?

As to the, uh, substance of your comment: Say what you will of Socialist Cruz (and it'd be welcome to hear criticism of him, rather than of Arnold, from McClintock stalwarts), but he was born here. As to Arnold being an "illegal immigrant," jeeze, where to begin? I think all who are fair-minded can agree he embodies the American Immigrant Dream, at least if we leave out his political ventures of late. The only drib-drab I've heard suggesting illegality relating to his pre-naturalization days is that he may have done gainful work during a time when his visa forbade employment. Even if that is true, it is only grounds for having rescinded his visa or otherwise penalizing him. It doesn't render his presence then, or his status now, illegitimate.

There is plenty to criticize in Cruz and in Arnold based on their policy proposals, from a pro-McClintock standpoint, without stooping to baldly ridiculous statements such as "illegal immigrant."

but he was born here -- Prove it. Go to Dinuba and get his birth certificate. Show that his parents came to the U.S. legally, or show me the case in U.S. federal law that incorporates the children of illegal aliens into the qualifying statement of the 14th amendment "and subject to the jurisdiction of". It doesn't even matter if he actually was born in the U.S., as far as I'm concerned, his citizenship has never been established in law.

Then don't use it, Jerk. Where do you think you get the right to judge me and my beliefs? Take your name calling and race-baiting and go join PUSH or MEChA.
