ORANGE - In a state where illegal immigration is among the most important Republican election issues, in one of the state's most Republican counties, a battle has been raging in an Albertsons parking lot.

At Chapman Avenue and Hewes Street, dozens of day laborers - many of whom are illegal immigrants - have been swarming mothers driving SUVs as they pull in to buy groceries, fed-up locals complain.

Those who stay home next election day are either tweedledees or tweedledums.

Or principled conservatives with nobody to vote for.

(Not counting their state and local elections, that is)

I would like to point out that John McCain has been the most consistent advocate of sensible immigration reform including a plan offering a pathway to citizenship for undocumented Americans.

Sensible...?? What's sensible about importing poverty and allowing 20 million lawbreakers a "pathway" to further erode our wages, flood our schools and hospitals and change America forever as we know it. I'm sorry, my friend. Couldn't disagree with you more!
