Richardson was on Hannity & Colmes the other night and did keep saying this stuff. He also said that NM gives them Driver's Licenses and they are eligble for college grants. I couldn't figure out how he could call for a state of emergency when he's doing these things to encourage them to come there?
I heard the richardson interview. He is clueless. How do these stupid morons get elected. I guess illegal immigration is one of the afflictions we must suffer for electing morons as leaders.
In the case of what I typed here previously, as to quoting Richardson from his second appearance on Hannity & Colmes (this past Thursday), he DID SAY EXACTLY what I typed because I wrote his comments down as he said them and then listend to the two replays afterward to ensure I'd written down what he said as he said what he said.
So, what I typed here he said verbatem. Pretty horrible.
It also explains his pressing need for "emergency" because what he is doing is just getting more federal dollars to pay for his already-in-motion plans.
I also now think that Richardson's going on about "what Mexico thinks of (him)" in some sort of concerned tone (which he did on both appearances on Hannity, Wednesday and Thursday) is Richardson just doing drama, as in, he HAS to say that to deflect any obviousness of pandering, assistance, all that, but he did make it clear that his attention is with and on Mexico, as are his concerns, as to what he's doing. He never, not once, spoke out in concern about "the United States" and even "the citizens of New Mexico."
He simply was an ardent apologist for amnesty, taxpayer funded services for illegals and the consistent refusal to acknowledge their illegal behaviors by repeatedly calling them "undocumented workers."
I was somewhat encouraged when I heard about these two border state "emergencies" but I now think they are intended to accomplish about the opposite of what most of us here would like.
And, to try to extend the benefit of the doubt to Schwarzenegger, maybe Schwarzenegger is trying to look out for the state's credit rating AND to avoid the pandering to Mexico that it appears N.M. and Arizona are engaged in.
I just don't know, time will tell. I could be wrong about all of it but I wasn't wrong about what Richardson said on Hannity and I sure would be surprised if my take was off as to his questionable comments.
