Instead of being investigated by the California Justice Department he should be getting a medal from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency.
Duncan Hunter was outstanding on CNN this evening. He gave Blitzed a piece of his mind in no uncertain times. Kudos to the man.
Nguyen made one BIG mistake. He didn't distinguish between legal and illegal immigrants.
Even legal immigrants can't vote. You have to be a citizen to vote. US government defines immigrant as resident who's not a citizen. Tan warned people that non-citizens - including immigrants (who by definition aren't yet citizens) - can't vote.
Duncan Hunter has always had a backbone.
Well, well...there are actually TWO Republicans that will stand up to the Rats. How about that!?!
Ok. I wasn't thinking about the legals who aren't citizens. My husband is a legal immigrant AND a citizen. I guess it would have been a good idea to be more explicit in the mailer.
There's no mistake.
Best bet is for Republicans who can't get beyond seeing a funny little foreign guy with strange eyelids representing them in Congress to GET OVER IT and support this man's courageous campaign against the forces of evil.
Secretary of State Bruce McPherson Joins with Latino Organizations to Encourage Eligible Californians to Register and Vote
Announces mailing to communicate with voters affected by intimidation attempt
SANTA ANA, CA – Secretary of State Bruce McPherson today joined with several Latino organizations including, the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO), National Council of La Raza (NCLR), the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF) to announce that he will be issuing an official, non-partisan voter education letter to Latino voters who recently received a letter attempting to intimidate them.
“I want all eligible voters in California to cast their votes without fear or misinformation. I am outraged that anyone would try to rob eligible Californians of their right to vote. Any attempt to intimidate voters is unacceptable,” Secretary McPherson said.

Decoded -- I am outraged that anyone would try to rob illegal immigrants, felons and other criminals, of their RIGHT TO VOTE DEMOCRAT....
It's time for all Republicans to grow a spine!
Secretary of State McPherson is a liberal Republican.
So my husband, with his British accent and his citizenship papers, is no longer considered an immigrant???
Secretary of State McPherson is a liberal Republican.

In name only -- he is very happy working in the liberal &*%$ hole that our state has turned into....RINO, happy has hell to see Dem votes.
I thought only citizens can vote, immigrants of any variety cannot vote until they become citizens. Nguyen was correct.
It's semantics. The article refers to Nguyen as an immigrant. I am guessing that he's also a citizen as he's running for Congress. Legal immigrants who are citizens are entitled to vote. They are sometimes still referred to as immigrants. It would have been good if he had qualified perhaps with 'non-citizen immigrants' or something similar.
The term "immigrant" also has "popular" meanings, and you might have somebody say "We are a nation of immigrants". Doesn't mean it's true, or that the speaker is using a correct usage in the proper context.
If your spouse continues to speak of "immigrant", "emigration", and similar words, check his passport ~ might be a surprise coming.
Semantics and popular usage of the word. Trust me, my husband is a good guy.
Their reaction, and that of the Governor out there, is absolutely shameful. Not sure how they can show they've paid proper penance ~ maybe ritual seppuku or something ~ yeah, that's the ticket ~ and do that in San Francisco so Nancy Pelosi's crowd will get a good idea what all that can mean.
