The failure of Republicans in the House to follow up on obvious voter fraud in the case of Bob Dornan vs. Loretta Sanchez was an absolute disgrace! Sanchez clearly "won" with illegal votes -- even the L.A. Times admitted it! -- but House Republicans rolled over. They couldn't offend those potential "Republican" votes, don't you know? It was absolutely sickening.
“If the Feds (ably assisted by Democrat Gov. Gray Davis) had allowed Prop 187 to stand, the flow of illegals would have been stemmed.”
There were some other interesting GOP players in the destruction of Prop. 187...Grover Norquist and Stephen Moore & other ‘good’ republicans.
Norquist was the author of Bush’s amnesty. We’ve got traitors in the GOP to clean out before we can even think about the democrats.

Working closely with Stephen Moore of the Cato Institute, Cesar Conda (former domestic advisor to Dick Cheney) circulated a statement against Prop. 187 of California in the nineties.

“The letters were mainly the work of Cato’s Anderson and Paul Ryan, Brownback’s legislative director, whose ties to the pro-immigration mafia ran deep. A protégé of Conda and an ally of Swartz, Ryan was the staffer who had aided Jack Kemp and William Bennett in their crusade against Proposition 187.....
From the Republican side, the cavalry arrived courtesy of Grover Norquist, who had proved to be one of Swartz’s most significant conduits to the activist right.
Almost from the start, Norquist (who was on Microsoft’s payroll) had been trying to convince the Christian Coalition’s Ralph Reed that being pro family meant being against cuts in family immigration, and that Reed should therefore support split-the-bill. Reed had resisted, but shortly before the vote, at a dinner with Gingrich and Norquist, the Speaker had indicated that he was in favor of splitting the bill.”
