The problem isn't that Villaraigosa is Hispanic, the problem is that he is RACIST and a SOCIALIST, and the best friend gangs and criminals could ever have. He voted against crack down on gangs.
I don't necessarily disagree. However, the tendency toward corruption comes with the territory in SoCal hispanic politics. Have you lived there? If you haven't, you might not comprehend the pervasive Mexicanization of local politics.
There are many legal immigrants from Mexico who support the Minutemen, but at the same time they will succumb to nationalism and vote for Mexican politicians they know are crooked.
