Bush's tough talk will certainly have widespread appeal in Georgia, where many voters have become anxious — even angry — at what they perceive as the staggering burden of illegal immigration. There is a backlash brewing — a rising tide of frustration born of resentment over schools forced to accommodate non-English speakers, hospital emergency rooms beset by uninsured patients and perceptions of higher crime rates.
Georgia, meet a couple of California's "perceived" criminals.
Man Accused of Shooting CHP Officer Is CapturedJaime Zavala Garcia, 37, was arrested in Liberal, Kan., on Sunday afternoon with his brother, Antonio Garcia Zavala of Hesperia, who was booked on a "perceived" suspicion of aiding and harboring a fugitive.
CHP Assistant Chief Mike Maples said Garcia was a "perceived" illegal Mexican immigrant whose Pontiac was to be impounded because he was a "perceived" unlicensed driver.
Garcia could face charges of "perceived" premeditated attempted murder of a police officer, and discharging a "perceived" firearm against a police officer — counts that could lead to a sentence of 40 years to life in prison if he is convicted.
Bush said nothing of the sort. I bet Tucker did not even hear/watch the speech.
