That's interesting. According to my brother his dad was a barber and cut his hair. I'll have to ask him if he knows anything about this. I do remember some scuttlebutt about this during the recall...
At that time illegal immigration was just becoming a local nuisance. The area's small, local, agricultural towns began filling with Hispanic's from "Texas". Their anchor babies were graduating from local high schools and vying for positions of local, political power based on the rising strength of their rapidly swelling demographic.
No local, Republican officials raised a red flag about the issue because, beyond the evidence of no recorded birth certificate, the circumstances were speculative. The most pronounced change occurred on the Internet as Bustamante won statewide office. While remarks attributing Mexican citizenship of his grandparents remained, the references to the status of his parents suddenly disappeared even from the Spanish language publication archives.
Bustamante's circumstances were even the subject of some discusion on this forum at that time but a server crash destroyed many of our early archives. Today, the only remaining published evidence is archived by Google, which took periodic "pictures" of the entire US Internet, or then Usenet, since the inception of Google in 1981.
