(Assy Speaker) Núñez

An unintentional, but highly accurate, summary description of the man. ;)

Why is it US interests always have to placate the other side?

"It seems as though there is a sense that people want to close the border," Núñez said Fox told him. "I assured him that that wasn't the case, and I think he accepted my response to that."

We all need to give him a call.

"Many of these Democratic leaders traditionally are aligned with the Mexican people and have been very supportive of the contributions of undocumented immigrants in particular," he said.

No kidding? I'm shocked!

"I always thought that the biggest criticism I would get is 'Here is this Mexican-American leader of California going to Mexico. Where's his allegiance – to Mexico or the U.S.?' " Núñez said.

a follow-up question would have been nice here to nail this vermin down on his position - this is not even subject to debate given Nunez's record.

"The fact that that criticism hasn't been made shows that we have made a lot of progress."

no, the criticism hasn't been made because everyone assumes he's a pro-Mexico shill. Why belabor the point?

My plan to combat illegal immigration:

1. Build a wall similar to this one already in place near San Diego:
http://www.azdailysun.com/non_sec/nav_includes/story.cfm?storyID=113823
Our southern border with Mexico is 1945 miles long. It cost $ 1.7 million dollars per mile to build the very impressive, wall currently standing south of San Diego. That means that, for $ 3.3 billion dollars, we could build a similar wall along the entire southern border with Mexico. This is a fraction of what we spend on the Iraq operation each year. I actually think building this wall would be politically much more doable than people tend to think. Even Hispanics already in the US would likely approve because it means less competition for themselves for jobs.

2. Start employer enforcement in a steady but persistent manner that targets the worst offenders first. Start first with those who hire day laborers off the books so as not to pay taxes. Have ICE place signs on all day laborer congregation points announcing that raids will be conducted in the near future to check the citizenship status of the workers there. Bingo- no more day laborer congregation site with at more expense than posting a sign. When the day laborer business goes underground, have investigators follow them there and prosecute and deport accordingly.

3. Go after the big employers of illegal aliens (factories, meat processors, etc) to the extent that they can not prove that there truly are no Americans in their community who want the jobs taken by Mexicans. Have ICE meet with known large employers of illegal aliens and find out just how many willing American workers there are in the employer's community. Tell the employer you want to see him start hiring a lot more Americans and fewer Mexicans. If the employer refuses, have ICE post a notice on the workplace saying that ICE will come in a couple of weeks to check the immigration status of the workers. The illegals will move on to other jobs. That’s the dirty little secret of immigration enforcement- you can destroy a business’s market for illegal aliens by simply posting a sign on their premises. No chance for bed-wetting liberals to whine about deporting children like they did in Arkansas.

To the extent that Mexicans truly are needed to fill the jobs in question (e.g. migrant fruit pickers) then those should be placed at the very bottom of the enforcement list- they do help our economy to the extent they are actually needed and we should seek to minimize any economic harm.

He also invited Fox to address the California Assembly in Sacramento.

WTF, is Núñez now proposing that Fox become part of the California Assembly's deliberation process? Isn't it bad enough that illegals are getting involved in our internal affairs without an open invitation for a head of state to do the same?

...By the end of the day, the Los Angeles Democrat said he had made progress in improving relations between California and Mexico, which have become strained...

Stained?
We are at war, a war which we are losing, due to treason and incompetence at the highest levels.

California is sinking deeper and deeper into the Manure Barrel. It was bad enough that the union thugs have so much power in Sacramento but now we have the spectacle of the "Leader" of Socialist Mexico invited to set policy in the assembly...

As a McClintock supporter, I think the Guv deserves credit for resisting, however discretely, the business/racialist cabal on the subject of illegals and needs our support.

Their now seems to be a war brewing between the mexican politicians who pander to the legals and illegals, and republicans.

The mexican politicians are pandering to mexico and all the legal and illegals residing in California and doing everything possible to obstruct Schwartzenegger's agenda.
Given the amount of mexicans now living in California, you knew it was coming.

Guess they are missing the days of Davis who would do whatever they wanted.

Man, does California politics suckass.

Assembly Speaker Fabian Nuñez launched a goodwill mission...

But Núñez tried to stay focused on what he said was his "diplomatic mission."

He also invited Fox to address the California Assembly in Sacramento.

How long has Núñez been working for the State Dept.?
